When I installed multimedia codecs using the commands from https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Install_Packman_codecs#Tumbleweed, conky, conky-doc, and vim-plugin-conky changed vendors to Packman as well. Now they update on an almost daily basis. Often, these three packages are the only ones offered as updates for the “zypper dup” command. Is this normal?
Thanks,
Gene
Hi
Switch back to the openSUSE version and all should be good.
If you have no issues with conky than I would say everything is alright. You are running a rolling release, even if added Packman, you still get all the updates. The difference is that probably you get them faster from Packman than from the usual openSUSE repositories.
Hi
Not true, it’s just getting rebuilt, likely a packman issue. The conky package on packman is just a link to openSUSE:Factory (like most of them, a good thing). Even though the ram reporting issue is supposed to be fixed in 1.11.6, I still see it here so sticking with 1.11.5 version…
If it may be a packman issue, is there some way to let the maintainer know that he’s rebuilding the packages daily?
Gene
Since packman is a link to factory, how do I switch vendors for those three packages? It’s not clear from the man page.
Thanks again,
Gene
Hi
zypper in -f -r "download.opensuse.org-oss" conky conky-doc vim-plugin-conky
If that’s the oss repo name on your system…
Thanks! That worked perfectly.
Gene
Sorry, than I was mistaken. Thank you for the correction. I thought that sometimes I saw some newer packages in Packman or slightly newer.
Hi
I would guess that users of Leap wanted the latest and greatest version, since a lot of users partake of the service, easier to just link and rebuild… I’ll add a comment about disabling the Tumblweed version…
Edit: I see the only thing enabled is the Nvidia option, the package libXNVCtrl is GPL, so not sure why it’s not build/enabled in factory… I use nvidia, but just use nvidia-smi to extract the data I need…
