These two repos come from the OBS Virtualization:openSUSE12.1 project, which is where 12.1 packages are maintained. The first one contains packages built against the latest 12.1 updates. The latter contains packages built against 12.1 GA. Honestly, I'm not sure we even need the latter. > http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/openSUSE_12.1/ > This it the 12.1 repo for the Virtualization project, which is the devel project for Factory. > I find them a bit confusing since I find an older version of libvirt > in the update standard repo than in the opensuse 12.1 repo. > But it is the same code. I suppose the package in the update standard repo has been built fewer times than the one in the GA repo. Hmm, come to think of it, the update repo was added later, so the package hasn't been built against it as often. > Also the difference between the Virtualization: and Virtualization is > a bit fuzy to me. > As mentioned, Virtualization is the devel project for Factory. All the latest and greatest virtualization-related packages are developed and tested in this project before submitting to Factory. Once a product has been released, we create a product subproject under Virtualization, e.g. Virtualization:openSUSE11.4, Virtualization:openSUSE12.1, etc. Maintenance of the virtualization-related packages that shipped with the product are done in these subprojects. > Which of these repos is the one that should be used ? > Depends :-). If you want to use/test the latest virtualization packages, then you would use the ones from a Virtualization project repo. If you want to use/test the latest updated packages for a released product, then use the Virtualization:<product> subproject.
