    Hi,

    I noticed that several packages (e.g., the KDEmultimedia3-* group of
    packages) have been made available in the Packman repository at the
    same version and build number as those that are included in the base
    SuSE distribution.

    I'm curious about why these non-new packages were posted? Do they differ
    in some way from those in the stock distribution?

    By the way, I'm not talking about packages built for, say, i686, where
    the stock distribution targets x586, but cases where there is no
    apparent difference between the Packman package and the SuSE one (other
    than the distinctive ".pm.#" tag in the package name, that is).
