I was told that Gnome projects does now build against the :Update repos instead of the plain base distros which provide the GA version.
This is usually a bad idea because
1. It does trigger unneeded build load and force users to download more packages without need. 2. It can create incompatibilities, since a build on a updated system might not work on a GA version. While a compile on GA should always work on a updated system. The only exception are kernel modules here (and libzypp on 10.1)
Can you tell me a reason why you need to compile against the :Update projects ?
We don't need to, but we discussed it as a) good to encourage updating
b) more common now that its default to get updates.

I guess that I did it in past due to probles of incompatible xulrunner online updates. Now it seems to be fixes (and to be on safe side, we can still aggregate this one package from :Update. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
