: We simply can't rebuild all our packages on each beta release (or even on each Factory sync). We usually start in the RC phase because of library freeze, so that packages are ready with the final release.
Are you serious!? Adding such a functionality in RC (Thu, Sep 20: openSUSE 10.3 Release Candidate 1 release) gives us only 14 days for finding and fixing bugs. It's extremely short time.
I guess you are talking about adding the functionality into the installer (which must be done before RC, while the list of availble repos can be updated during RC phase) while Bernhard is talking about creating the packman repository.
The integration into installer is being worked on, however, I cann't promise any particular Alpha/Beta release which will contain it.
Ah, now I see I was misunderstood. I absolutely don't want Packman/Guru team to prepare packages for Alpha/Beta/Factory. I meant possibility of one-click-adding Packman or Guru repo to "Installation sources" using some YaST's module. Just to make normal user's life simpler. Example: someone want to play DivX, so we say sth like: 1) Open YaST 2) Click "New source" 3) Check "Packman" 4) Click "Add" 5) Install "Mplayer" using "Software Management" Over. -- Rafał Miłecki
