When Hans asked about "the add-on repo's of the OBS" I wasn't thinking about "backport repos". I was thinking about those packages that aren't in Factory, so probably neither in Tumbleweed. Most from the games repository fall in this category. Another question would be why those packages aren't in Factory... But anyway OK, we were just talking about different things.
Yes, please always remember, one of the requirements for Tumbleweed is that the package already be in Factory.
The whole point is that a lot of people use packages that aren't in factory. packman is a perfect example. So are the games repository, education repository, science repository, various unstable repositories, and many others. There are valid use-cases for using all of these repos. But there is a very good chance that the packages built against, for instance, 11.4 will not work with tumbleweed, and at the very least you can't count on them working. You are basically forcing people who use tumbleweed to use the core packages and nothing else.
No, not at all, you can set tumbleweed to be your repo you build against today. I just did it and tested that it worked properly, so I don't see the problem here, do you? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
