I'd like to completely rewrite the $SUBJECT in installation and you have an opportunity to say how do you think it could look and what could it offer to do or how. Ignoring the technical details ;), a cool feature would be detecting and automatically deleting the old distros main and update repository (and non-oss, src, debuginfo, etc), because these are going to be obsoleted by the new distro in all cases. The user would then only need to decide about the repositories which were added manually. BTW I also like Benji's idea of self-upgrading repositories.

Agreed, it would be nice if each repository had the ability to say
"applies to 10.3-11.1" ie. 10.3,11,0,11.1 "applies to 10.3" ie. 10.3 only "applies to 10.3-" ie. 10.3 or higher "applies to -11.1" ie. 11.1 or lower
That's not what I had in mind (repositories usually only apply to one version of the distribution). My suggestion was: If you are updating from 11.1 to 11.2, then these repositories http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/non-oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.1/ http://download.opensuse.org/debug/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/ should be deleted automatically, because the installation of 11.2 will add it's own oss, non-oss, update and so on repos. Maybe repositories could obsolete other repositories just like packages obsolete other packages. BTW: Lukas, why do you cross-post to opensuse-factory and yast-devel, when both lists reject posts from non-subscribers?
