It's, well, a staging area to test some critical packages before they are merged into Essentials.

That does not answer the question ;-) Essentials/A_15.3-vlc links to openSUSE.org:$SOMEWHERE/vlc Staging/A_15.3-vlc links to Essentials/A_15.3-vlc Now how am I supposed to test something in Staging and, more important, how am I supposed to submit it then to Essentials with those links? If I just copypac it to staging and then sr to essentials, the whole linking will probably just break horribly :-) I probably would have changed the link in Staging to also point to openSUSE.org:..., but as Essentials had never built before, I just fixed it directly there. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman ___ Packman mailing list Packman@links2linux.de https://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman

It is meant to verify new library versions of x264/x265 and the like actually work with the consumers. Otherwise a new SONAME is published, which breaks consumers.

So not for Staging of VLC/mplayer/whatever, but for staging of dependencies of VLC/mplayer/...? Then this link staging/vlc -> essentials/vlc makes sense :-) Thanks, -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman ___ Packman mailing list Packman@links2linux.de https://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
