[opensuse-factory] Apt update - opinions needed
Hi folks, I've been asked by Richard Bos if I could update apt in factory to the version he has in the BS. This is based on a beta version of apt and offers repomd support but does *not* work with synaptic. So If I'd update apt, I'd drop synaptic. As I use neither of them, I need your input to decide whether to update or not. The choices are: [ ] Stay with stable apt and synaptic [ ] Update to beta apt with repomd support and forgo synaptic Philipp -- Anything whose specification is too complicated to explain easily probably needs to be redesigned.

[X] Stay with stable apt and synaptic [ ] Update to beta apt with repomd support and forgo synaptic
I just learned there is a third way: updating to the latest stable version which also supports repomd. So in this case you can have the cake *and* eat it, which I'll do after SLES10 SP1 is out of the door :) Philipp --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
