[zypp-devel] repo.add.probe override by zypper
by Josef Reidinger 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

Zypper doesn't allow enforce override repo.add.probe (bnc #309612). I see two ways how allow it (both change libzypp). First is add to ZConfig function that allow setting this variable and add repo work as expected. Second is add to addRepository optional argument probe (by default = ZConfig::instance().repo_add_probe() ). Which is better? Another problem is, that conditional for run probe is if ( ZConfig::instance().repo_add_probe() || ( tosave.type() == RepoType::NONE && tosave.enabled()) ) and help to variable repo.add.probe say "If false, accessability of repositories is checked when refreshed (e.g. 'zypper ar' will delay the check until the next refresh)" so in some situation code doesn't do it. Is correct conditional and probe is delayed only if type is set or repo is disabled or second part of conditional is bug?

[zypp-devel] rpm v3 support
by Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Libzypp still has some code to convert rpm db from v3 to v4. Is there any (supported) product still using rpmv3 or is code that can be thrown away, or is this upgrade handled somewhere else? This code does not compile on other distributions and before fixing it, I wanted to see if it is possible to get rid of it.

[zypp-devel] sat-solver & recommends
by Matt Barringer 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

How do I filter out solvables from the sat-solver decision queue that were pulled in as recommended dependencies, or, better, prevent the solver from considering recommended dependencies in the first place?

[zypp-devel] Verify system feature dropped?
by Katarina Machalkova 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

Hi, zypp hackers, while working on ncurses package selector redesign I have found out that yet another thing has been dropped (deprecated/obsoleted/temporarily unavailable) from zypp silently, without communicating this fact to those who are using the feature. In this case, maintainers of package selectors. Facts: FaTE #301178 "Offer 'verify installed package dependencies' functionality in YaST" mandatory/important for SLE10 SP1 important for openSUSE 10.3 Requested by: kkaempf(a)novell.com Project Manager: visnov(a)novell.com (adding those to Cc:) After selecting 'Verify system' entry from package selector menu, solver run should check package dependencies and take appropriate action to restore the consistency of the system (e.g. mark missing packages for installation) However, this never happens, I'm getting false-positive result that all dependencies are correct (which is obviously not true) and this message in the log: Resolver.cc (verifySystem): Will currently not be supported by the SAT-solver Maybe I'm not having the most recent version of SAT-solver and this issue would be already settled if I made fresh svn checkout. In that case you may disregard this e-mail. Anyway, as this feature was mandatory, I believe it should not be dropped without adequate substitute. Moreover, it has been requested for zypper, too (FaTE #301918 - adding jkupec to Cc:). As this is not the first thing dropped/made obsolete from zypp more or less silently, I'd really appreciate if (in the future) we would be informed about such changes and about adequate replacement functionality (if any). Better late, than never at all (finding this out sheerly by accident). Zypp is a library that is used by other applications (package selectors, zypper,...) and without them, it's just dead kilo-lines of code in subversion. frozenB. -- \\\\\ Katarina Machalkova \\\\\\\__o YaST developer __\\\\\\\'/_ & hedgehog painter

by Duncan Mac-Vicar P. 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Hi guys, I would like to collect in this thread all details that we need to address in the next weeks. You can incrementally reply to this thread and I will put them all together. I start with: - patch and delta rpm creation - fix attributes to take care of translations - integrate patch & pattern concepts (wrap APIs, etc) - fix UIs to support this patches and patterns (including the applet) - enhance downloader to download .solv files - take care of media.1 for media verification (either download it when downloading solv files only, or store it in solv file) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[zypp-devel] Error loading solv files...
by Michael Andres 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

RepoManager::loadFromCache currently throws an exception if the solvfile can't be loaded (e.g. because the solv file format has changed). Would someone mind if we automatically try to rebuild the solv file in that case. It would be similar to try { repoManager.loadFromCache( nrepo ); } catch ( const Exception & exp ) { MIL << "Try to rebuild cache..." << endl; repoManager.cleanCache( nrepo ); repoManager.buildCache( nrepo ); repoManager.loadFromCache( nrepo ); } but performed inside the loadFromCache call. -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres YaST Development ma(a)novell.com SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 740 53-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[zypp-devel] repos autorefresh
by Stephan Kulow 02 Mar '08

02 Mar '08

Hi, Duncan and me watched someone doing "one click install" at FOSDEM and we noticed that most time (even on 10.3) is consumed in downloading/refreshing meta data of unaffected repositories. And if you have collected several of these one click installs, you're downloading meta data a lot. So we looked what others do and apt and smart require an explicit refresh if the repository is supposed to be outdated. So Duncan changed the default of autorefresh for zypper to no. Now I figured this has some interesting implications, namely that kiwi's zypper --root root sa <repo> <alias> zypper --root root in zypper will crash as no-one downloads/refreshes the meta data. As I think that libzypp shou -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help(a)opensuse.org
