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
