That the UIs do not have a way to do that currently is something that is sad, but not a desaster. Possibly we can add a hook for 11.2 to allow switching to the versions of a specific repository in the UI, at least it sounds possible without too much risk.
This is something I've run into on 11.0. I installed Firefox 3.5 from the Mozilla repo, and then I have to continually check YaST to see if there is an update available for it once I see that there is an update. If there are security issues resolved by an update, then it should be flagged and you should see it in the opensuse-updater icon's list. While security isn't as much of an issue on Linux as it is on Windows, the updater should still show you that you have an update to whatever package you have chosen to install. So, if I choose to install libxine from pacman, then any updates for that package should now ONLY come from pacman and nowhere else.
That's a completely different problem. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=418277 (probably there are more duplicates not marked as so...). I have no idea if the problem is fixed in 11.2 (I don't think so). Once the update applet/packagekit backend supports package updates (not just patch updates) then it could be discussed if the applet should inform about updates that require a vendor change or not. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
