From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use it, sometimes all it happens is that I have to wait a couple days
Do you also use the mesa pacakge from packman repos. Will zypper automatically use the packman package of mesa when updating if you do the vendor change for mesa from official repos to packman. I am asking because when I tried TW, different versions of packages in mesa were somehow simultaneously installed after a dist-upgrade and mesa was broken
Yes, I also use MESA, but that only happens when you use the
--allow-vendor-changeoption. I don't, I prefer to wait until packman is in sync with the openSUSE repos. I had that problem previously, before reinstalling TW and I didn't like having multiple packages out of sync and sometimes repeated, I like to see them as a bigger package that has to be updated at the same time.So how did you replace the mesa version. Every documentation I see seems to tell of the --allow-vendor-change option
