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.

When using software and the codecs from the packman repo, what are the best practices associated with the updating and maintaince of these packages and the system in general. Do I have to wait for sometime before updating using dup or can I use the packman modules of mesa with updated versions of the mesa modules provided officially¿? Are their dependcy issues for software sourced from packman.

From what I remember, I only used opi codecs and that's it. What I meant with the vendor change, was that I never run it nor allow it.

When you run zypper dup, it throws you some errors telling you that the versions are different or aren't in the official repo, which means that you should wait until there are no errors. Unless there was an official vendor change and you have no other alternative (and it's not really common) then you have to install those specific packages from the official repo.

Did you add the packman repo to the repository list before running opi codecs¿?

Edit : Never mind that was a stupid question
