Hi
A question to YaST2 developers (or anyone else who'd have the answer).
I package up KDE3 styles against KDE 3.5.1 in a different repository, that must only be used when one runs KDE 3.5. But the packages have exactly the same version and release number than the ones that are compiled against the stock KDE 3.4.2 and that are in the "normal" suser-guru repository.
Now my question: how is YaST2 picking packages from its list of installation sources ? Does it do some "first match wins"-alike strategy when a package with exactly the same version+release is available from more than one installation source ? Or is it random/unpredictable ?
cheers
Thats a *very* good question actually. To add to that, can a preference somehow also be set for i686 over i386? I've noticed I've had to take a peek through my packages to install the version that is available and optimized for my proc, which I really would rather have automatically. Is there such a thing?
