The problem was/is another.  The packages are available (now they are at least) .  But they are not listed in in YaST "Online Update" interface.  However if I go to "Software Management" interface and search "mariadb" it will tell me that .is installed and 1.0.16 is availoble. 10.0.16 is installed if I then choose to "redownload" (cliking the checkoboxes for each and change state from 'v-check mbol' (don't know what this is called in English) to an arrow). But that is not the correct way for a SuSE repository. Updates to installed packages should be found from "Online Update" interface. 

And one more issue: there is no "MariaDB-compat" package version 10.0.16.  Is this intentional?

And finally "rpm -qa" still does not list packages installed from the MariaDB repo.  Can't we have this fixed, please? It is a showstopper.

On OpenSuse 12.3 YaST "Online Update" does not find 10.0.16 as an update available for already installed (From MariaDB's repository for OpenSuSE) 10.0.15. MariaDB's repository is still minitored by SuSE as image shows.

MariaDB includes a User Feedback plugin. This plugin is disabled by
default. If enabled, it submits basic, completely anonymous MariaDB
usage information. This information is used by the developers to track
trends in MariaDB usage to better guide development efforts.

If you would like to help make MariaDB better, please add
"feedback=ON" to your my.cnf or my.ini file!
