Does the split between multimedia:apps and multimedia:libs still make sense? Obviously the apps are not usable without libs repo added as well, because they build against these packages. I would join both projects into one called "multimedia". Any comments on that?
Sounds like a great idea. Maybe I'm missing something, but why not move multimedia:libs into devel:libraries:c_c++?
that would be very counter-productive, considering that most of multimedia:apps depends on libraries from multimedia:libs => having those libs in devel:libraries:c_c++ would just move the problem to another repository;
the idea is to merge the two repos (multimedia:{apps,libs}) into one, so the users won't run into issues all the time.
The original idea of having the apps seperate was to make it possible to install them at all for the average user. When you try to update to libs you run quite often in dependency problems. However this makes of course only sense when :apps is building also against the distros directly, which it doesn't atm. does no one have problems on a plain 11.3 or 11.4 with that repo atm ? -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
