I think that it isn't necessary to change the scope of Packman or reduce the number of packages that are provided today but that a reorganization and greater collaboration between openSUSE and Packman would provide benefits to both maintainers and our users. Currently Packman provides three categories of packages: software which is not allowed in OBS (non-free but redistributable, patented etc. mostly in Essentials and Multimedia), newer versions of packages which are in the main distribution (in Extra), and additional packages which are not in the main distribution (in Extra, Games, Multimedia). I'd suggest reorganizing the latter two categories by submitting unique Packman packages to suitable OBS development projects and subsequently Factory and by merging duplicate packges with their OBS counterparts. Ack. Factory ftw! If there is a demand for a backport and continuous updates of a package it could be linked into a dedicated Packman project similar to how media player packages are already shared between OBS and Packman I thought there is Tumbleweed for those who always want the latest and greatest? Updates that make sense should be released into the regular update channel. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) ___ Packman mailing list Packman@links2linux.de http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman

Updates that make sense should be released into the regular update channel. I think there was some demand (at least by Detlef) to have selected backports of some packages for all supported openSUSE releases which is a different scope than Tumbleweed and probably not suitable as regular updates either. I'd strongly prefer to have such packages were in a separate backports repo rather than spread through Extra, Games, and Multimedia. -- Guido Berhoerster ___ Packman mailing list Packman@links2linux.de http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman

Thank you, that did the trick I've switched to libxine2 within some frontend guis to enable all the new features like VDPAU support. The libxine2 has a Recommends entry to libxine2-codecs, normaly it should be installed automaticly. Packman doesn't generate any soft dependencies in the repo metadata.
