Description Richard Biener 2006-11-15 10:45:37 UTC 
During update Yast should either simply use existing configured Add-Ons or at
least offer them.  I never can remember the exact URL for nvidia drivers for
example.  Also all openSUSE build-service stuff is extremely difficult to
remember.

Not adding the extra install sources seems to force deletion of all the extra
packages.
Comment 1 Michael Andres 2006-11-15 23:42:55 UTC 
@Klaus: You remember? We mentioned this a few days ago. Facing an increasing number of Add-On Sources being used, the strategy of 'setting delete unmaintained to true' per default on update, seems no longer appropriate. We should head for 
something 'better'.
Comment 2 Stanislav Visnovsky 2006-11-16 08:00:49 UTC 
Yes, we have to improve our strategy to deal with products. We are not alone anymore.

Please, handle this via Fate.
