When I have two YAST repositories (e.g., SUSE's and Packman) and I want to get online updates from both, how do I configure that?
At present this is a shortcoming in YaST - of having separate components for software management and updates. Also that the former can have multiple sources and the latter only one enabled at a time.
Future versions (perhaps not 10.1 though) will hopefully consolidate the two such that YaST's software management behaves (in that respect) more like APT/SMART (ie you can have base, update, packman, usr-local-bin etc etc all available to ensure you get the latest version).
I think it's a good idea to have security fixes separate from other repositories. I like being able to run online update without worrying if I'm suddenly going to get the latest pre-alpha version of something else I would like to see a subscription model in the package repositories, where I can, say, subscribe to "mplayer", so when I run an update I only get updates to mplayer no matter what else I have installed on my system. I don't like having to run through the whole list of suggested updates just to see if someone has decided to upload something new to the package repository that I don't want to have updated
