On the one hand I agree with you, if everything is perfect the same vendor should be fine. However, as Stephan already wrote, during the freeze in Factory the Community repo was also used for version updates of digikam and others. I do not know if this will happen again, if not, then the same vendor should probably be fine.
I see. But that appears to be wrong, that'd mean that KDE:Extra every 8 months gets several packages for only a month and then they're removed again. Such packages should be provided only by KDE:UpdatedApps outside of KDE:Distro. Which actually means that the situation would get slightly more complicated during factory freeze, but I still think it's simpler to do a full copy of a newer version in UpdatedApps rather than have temporaries in Extra. Does somebody see a good reason not to do it that way?
However there are sometimes packages which are first only in the Community/Extra repo which then go into the distro. If such a package is then still build for the Distro repos which already include it, it also may lead to confusion.
They should not be provided for such distributions. IMO KDE:Extra and KDE:Distro should never provide the same package (for the same target). -- Lubos Lunak openSUSE Boosters team, KDE developer l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
