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.

Yes, I also use MESA, but that only happens when you use the --allow-vendor-change option. 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

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.
