How is one expected to understand what repo, repo_1 stand for? Further, this problem only occurs when Add repository -> Community repository is used, in case where the URL and name of repo are manually supplied the correct alias is shown. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

A unique alias is required, and so yast has to invent names in automated operations like adding Community repos. You can always go to the repository manager or use zypper to change the alias. @Ladislav: I know it's not easy to invent those names. In my test applications I usually use url_r.getHost()+"-"+basename(url_r.getPathName()) as stem for the alias. Something like this might give a better hint on what repo it is. http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.1/ -> download.opensuse.org-11.1 http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/ -> download.opensuse.org-oss -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

My repos chosen from community repo list show up as followsin the versions tab in yast: Nvidia Repo = repo_9 Packman = repo_7 openSUse buildservice - Drivers for webcam = repo_4 backports = repo kde:community = rep0_1 mozilla = repo_5 Only 3 of them show corectly. A1l of them have the names set correctly in repo managment. I realize these are the aliases for the repos, but names should be shown, not aliases right? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456099 User lslezak@novell.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456099#c9 --- Comment #9 from Ladislav Slezak 2009-01-09 05:55:11 MST --- The main problem is actually a duplicate of bug #462778. I'm just thinking how to improve the alias from "repo_N" to something better. The idea from comment #3 fails for repositories from OBS. Example: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.1 -> download.opensuse.org-openSUSE_11.1 which doesn't tell much and similar alias would be used for _all_ OBS repositories. Using two last elements from the path would help (download.opensuse.org-mozilla-openSUSE_11.1) but there still might be some cases when it will look bad and the alias would be quite long. A short alias is important especially for zypper users, writing too long alias on command line is uncomfortable. A solution for community repositories could be specifying also the alias in the downloaded XML definition file (in addition to name, URL and description). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In that case next to the last element is used. It's probably not the best solution but should be good in most cases. The alias is just a proposed value, users can change it if it doesn't look as they want. Example: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.1 -> download.opensuse.org-mozilla http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/STABLE:/Extra-Apps/open... -> download.opensuse.org-Extra-Apps To comment #10: Yast must be more flexible, it must also support non-OBS repositories (3rd party repos), that solution is good for OBS repos only. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
