Maybe someone can enlighten me on a specific topic: I am reading different Mails here and someone speaks of OBS (Build Service) others talk about OSS (which for me is the open Source software setup repository of a Suse installaton?) So as long as a specific Software is available in the default setup repository, I'm fine with that. But if it is in Build service which for me seems like a bunch of different repos of various quality and unclear maintenance, then that's not an option. To get my Suse setup up and running i used to have oss, non-oss, update and packman in the past. Now I have (besides the 4 mentioned above): KDE:Extra for knutclient Security:Passwordmanagement for Keepassx KDE:Extra:KDE_Release_46_... for Luminance HDR Graphics:Opensuse for Rawtherapee Education for Scribus newer then 1.4 RC1 Videolan for libdvdcss And if I want to check now, where Scribus 1.4 RC6 can be found: it is available under - KDE:Release:47 - KDE:Distro:Factory - KDE:UpdatedApps - KDE:Distro:Stable - Education And I'm only talking about Suse 11.4 here. This is close to ridiculous. Fact is, that Suse 11.4 delivered scribus 1.4 RC1 through the default setup-repository, which was almost unusable due to major bugs. And instead of delivering subsequent RCs (2, 3, 4, 5, 6 - which fixed most of the bugs) via update - where they belong - one is now forced to include suspicious OBS-repos. That's just one example of why I think OBS is the worst idea ever. I'd rather go for default oss, non-oss and update together with all the rest in packman.
