@crrodriguez: the whole issue might be a red herring, but let's face it: such moves need a bit more verbose description, and given, that these libs crept into my system via devel:/languages:/python, while they flag themself
Yes. Why does libcurl4 needs libssh2? :/
Distribution: devel:libraries:c_c++ / openSUSE_11.1
doesn't raise users confidence. In fact, it keeps smelling fishy...
You should not add the Development repos, like devel:libraries:c_c++ ordevel:languages:python, for 11.1 directly, its for Factory staging and so might break 11.1 systems in funny ways.
No, the project is used to bring > 600 Python modules to openSUSE 11.2, 11.1 & 11.0, and thereby increasing the usefulness of openSUSE. It happens to be _also_ used by Factory. And you certainly wouldn't recommend everybody to use Factory I guess. Do you really believe that people invest so much time in maintaining all these packages just so that they appear in openSUSE in a year or so? No, these people have a hands-down need for the packages now, and that's not on Factory. In addition, only 20% of those packages end up in Factory. It would certainly be a small catastrophe if devel:languages:python "breaks systems in funny ways".
Why do you need that repo?
It is _the_ place to be when working with Python productively. Peter-- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-security+help@opensuse.org
