Sorry, was just a random idea :) Maybe it doesn't make any sense to split codecs/multimedia.

Hmmm.... okay, so "contrib" would be some sort of "staging" repository too. > And if we have directories on vesta like > openSUSE_11.3/multimedia > openSUSE_11.3/conrib > openSUSE_11.3/games > > we could run a createrepo on openSUSE_11.3 with repodata in > openSUSE_11.3/repodata. So we could offer packman as big > repo too. Never tried this, but should work... ;) Yeah, I had that idea a long time ago as well, it could work. We'd have to test it first, but it's pretty easy to test. And that could provide both, *if* we don't mix different library versions in multimedia and contrib, as binary packages in multimedia and contrib could be built against different versions of libraries... (unless they are properly ABI/SONAME versioned, then we provide both library packages in the "big" repository but, we know that upstreams don't always get that right). cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser <[email protected]> /\\ http://opensuse.org -- I took the green pill _\_v FOSDEM XI: 5 + 6 Feb 2011, http://fosdem.org
