This crap about what is official and not official is... well... you're not the only one getting annoyed by it Basil :-)
It basically means two things: it is less tested, and you do not get updated through "YOU" (unless they also create it).
Now, that makes it all crystal clear: "and you do get updated through "YOU" (unless they also create it)." So, if I *only* use zypper and the repo. manager, then it is "official", right?
It also means that it is maintained by some "people", but not by Novell.
But, but, but....... the files come from repositories "sanctioned"/"authorised" by Novell - see the definition of what "official" means in an English dictionary - which means that they are "official".
Similar thing as the hpijs drivers for my HP printer: they are not supported by HP, although they are probably made by people from HP, on their free time.
Not interested in the slightest of what HP do with the drivers for their printers; all I care about is how openSUSE handles what they provide to its users.
