Never use priorities with Tumbleweed, I've always said that, unless you feel you know better than I do, in which case, hey, good luck :)
This time I do ;-) What do you expect to go wrong setting Tumbleweed with a higher priority than the main repo? Perhaps you did the testing when Tumbleweed was created, in openSUSE 11.3? It had funny behaviours (bnc#631306). The only thing you are really doing is saying your preference, and I guess you are supposed to prefer Tumbleweed packages to the ones from the main repo. But the thing goes worse if you add Packman, as Eduard wanted. Most of the time Packman is also packaging the latest stable versions of the software. And in the case where both Packman and Tumbleweed are packaging the same version of the software "zypper dup" will happily move from the packages from one repository and the other basing its decision only in the release number... that here has no meaning at all. So the decision will be basically random. To eliminate the randomness the obvious solution is to ask the user which package he wants, and that's exactly what you do setting the priorities. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
