Hello listmates,
I am the maintainer of easystroke, a package that has ended up being part of both Contrib and X11:Utilities and I think that it doesn't make any sense to have it in both places. I guess that the main difference between the two repos is that Contrib has a stricter policy when it comes to updates, am I right? Is it a good idea to delete it from X11:Utilities? I see the Contrib repo as easier to have on YaST than X11:Utilities since Contrib is listed on the Community repositories and X11:Utilities isn't.
Greetings, Javier Llorente
Hi, I think that X11:Utilities works same as Base:System where I have a package. It is development project, so I often have more recent version there and after some testing I submit it to factory. I think that same work-flow should work in your case, but of course you can submit packages directly to contrib without using X11:Utilities. I think that main reason to have contrib is to have one strict main repository (factory) and one more relaxed repository (contrib) so user needn't to add all special repositories if he is not interested in testing the most recent version.
