Hi, I’ve previously asked a question about adding a home repo, and was told to proceed with caution, but I’ve been looking at OpenRazer as well and this doesn’t appear to be a URL to a home repo, so, what exactly is it on the scale of ‘home’ to ‘official’?
It resides in this project:
Appreciate any guidance. Thank you!
This is a developement repository. Develepoment repos are the base for factory. But not all devel projects provide packages for factory as in the example above. A reason for not pushing the packages to factory may be licences, quality, lack of maintainership or other reasons.
Devel repos should be handled the same careful like home repos. They might break your system easily. So not recommended for beginners.
So are they usually relatively safe to add to the repo list and install? Can this break things with Tumbleweed’s rolling releases?
Devel repos can break your system the same easily. You can be sure to run into version and dependency issues. So not recommended for beginners. The forum is quite full with upgrade issues due to arbitrary home and devel repos.
Makes sense, thanks for the info!
