I'd like to add comments to my /etc/zypp/locks file.

I note that any added are, eventually, removed automatically from the locks file. Also, I see that changes are automatically made e.g. rewriting a simple solvable version match to a more complex form

complex: AttrMatchData solvable:name cups-* C SolvableRange\ >\ 1.7.0\ \"\"

Is there a toggle/flag to PREVENT automated overwrite of user mods to the locks file?

No. The locks file just a serialized set of PoolQueries. It's parsed+applied, collected+written. There's no coupling between parsed and written values. Preserving comments and user modifications is probably not too hard to implement. If you like to open an issue at https://github.com/openSUSE/zypper/issues, maybe someone is willing to provide a patch. -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres SUSE LINUX GmbH, Development, ma@suse.de GF:Jeff Hawn,Jennifer Guild,Felix Imendörffer, HRB21284(AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 740 53-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: zypp-devel+owner@opensuse.org
