Some may have already noticed this bug/design choice: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=548089
If you add Packman or any OBS repo to 11.2rc, the updates will be hidden from you by YaST and zypper - because they involve a vendor change. As seen in this screenshot: http://bugzillafiles.novell.org/attachment.cgi?id=323038
This means that to update libxine1, amarok or any other package in the distro to Packman or OBS versions, you have three options:
1) Manually go to the Versions tab in YaST *every* time you want to replace a distro package with a 3rd party one - with *nothing* whatsoever telling you that an upgrade is actually available for your choosing - you must be aware of this yourself.
2) Set 'solver.AllowVenderChange = true' in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf
3) create '/etc/zypp/vendors.d/foobar' with your trusted vendors.
Naturally *no* new user will *ever* figure out any of this without expert help - and neither will most existing openSUSE users.
I think the vast majority of openSUSE users add one or more Packman/OBS repos and want to be able to upgrade packages in the distro without having to fight the package manager to do it.
Personally I think this is a total disaster for openSUSE, and a nightmare for anyone who tries to promote openSUSE and help newbies.
Is it just me?
no, i completly agree... the problem of that is coming from SLE where that is really important. i think openSUSE need to made a choice... be just a development version of the next SLE or really provide an userfriendly linux distro. because i think any suse user likes the second option, all the "enterprise specific" option should be develop but NOT ENABLED on OPENsuse.
