Question is whether we should clean that up an have two update repos. One for oss and one for non-oss. Advantage of two repos is the clear separation of non-free components of course. You can't accidentally build against non-free stuff then.
Did such an "accident" ever happen in practise for the update repo? Or is this just a theoretical problem? (I'd say the update repo is the repo with the best review and QA, so I doubt such an "accident" will happen. Feel free to prove me wrong ;-)
Disadvantage might be that this would add two more repos to a default installation (the non-oss update repo itself and a separate debuginfo repo).
And another "update-non-oss-test" repo. libzypp is quite fast, but having two more repos won't make it faster ;-)
Any opinions on the matter?
I'm not the biggest fan of it ;-) - and I'm not sure if having some more repos "just" to keep non-oss packages perfectly separated makes sense. I mean, if you don't install non-oss programs, you won't get updates for them, right? ;-) Besides that, I agree with Bernhard that this change should wait for 12.3 MS1 - 12.2 already has enough things that need to be fixed ;-) (Unrelated sidenote: I had lots of fun[tm] to get my laptop working today - it seems systemd-journal sometimes likes to segfault which broke various things, including X :-/ - bug 768953 covers the first part, I'll have to do some research before I can report the bigger failures. The very latest aaa_base (downloaded with osc getbinaries) seems to be involved somehow, but that's all I can say for now.)
