It is very rare that a repository can be trusted implicitly
Especially something like Packman which can, and does, often include packages which it "shouldn't" (just like it used to have its own fdupes until recently)
The best method is to rely on zyppers vendor logic, so a user can cherry pick WHICH packages they want from which vendor, and then rely on zypper dup --no-allow-vendor-change to keep things that way.
But how does a user know which packages they want? The recommended method for switching to packman is to switch the vendor for all currently installed system packages to the packman repo. That just assumes that at the random point in time that they have added the repo, that it will be correct, and that in the future, it will no longer be correct. If packman adds a new package that the user SHOULD have, it would get stuck to the official repos.
You should use packman for items which are drm constricted on openSUSE, ie: audio/video such as mp3... -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
