Should any tumbleweed-user (besides adding&installing tumbleweed) add factory-addons instead?
I would not recommend mixing openSUSE:Factory and openSUSE:Tumbleweed, that's just as bad as mixing Factory with 11.3 or 11.4.
Ok, understandably, it is -in general- not wise the mix versions. But, currently there is an enormous amount** of packages that are not (yet, i hope) build for tumbleweed. Just one example: mod_auth_kerb. It is only buils for SLE, openSUSE_x.y and factory. Will that also be made (in due time) for Tumbleweed If so, its just a matter of patience. Otherwise, no-go: My co-workers will be very happy if i can avoid the periodicaly upgrade, certainly. But i will be lynched if i tell them that much of the addon's are not available anymore. Building & maintaining those packages myself is far worse then the system-upgrade once a year Kind regards, hans ** On my mirror i counted (not in the home directories) 101492 packages for 11.3 92715 packages for 11.2 6056 packages for 11.4 87006 packages for factory and 33692 packages for tumbleweed Currently, the _only_ add-on supporting Tumbleweed is: # ll /srv/distro/repo/driver:/wireless/ drwxr-xr-x 7 10000 10000 4096 Feb 9 00:37 11.2-update drwxr-xr-x 7 10000 10000 4096 Feb 22 17:12 11.3-update drwxr-xr-x 7 10000 10000 4096 Nov 18 23:48 SLE_10 drwxr-xr-x 7 10000 10000 4096 Nov 18 23:35 SLE_10_SP2 drwxr-xr-x 7 10000 10000 4096 Feb 9 00:37 SLE_11 drwxr-xr-x 7 10000 10000 4096 Feb 9 00:38 openSUSE_11.2 drwxr-xr-x 7 10000 10000 4096 Feb 9 00:40 openSUSE_11.3 drwxr-xr-x 7 10000 10000 4096 Feb 21 19:13 openSUSE_Factory drwxr-xr-x 7 10000 10000 4096 Feb 19 14:47 openSUSE_Tumbleweed -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
