I don't understand why we should solve this by having a separate vendor and not e.g. repo priorities. What exactly is the purpose of having a different vendor? It's very likely that we either should not do this or do it for more subrepositories of KDE: .
Priorities are repository wide. So it weren't possible to use e.g. Amarok from K:K:P while sticking to the Ktorrent from K:K:F:D.
Because vendors are set for every package the above usecase weren't a problem with different vendors.
Vendors give the user the chance to decide which version of a package to pick.
Also zypper/yast are showing when a package changes the Vendor. So the user has a chance to decide on his own.
Vendors are about trust in the end. For example a user might be fine to use $unimportant_small_application from Playground, but he may not be fine to use kdebase from there.
Ok, whatever, but then this is not just about Playground. I may not want to use something from Community, or from Factory, or from UNSTABLE or maybe somewhere else. So which all repos should have their own vendor? - Playground - Community - UNSTABLE - Factory - something else? -- Lubos Lunak openSUSE Boosters team, KDE developer l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
