Hi ppl,

In openSUSE for adding a repo we do a zypper ar $repo, the repo files are not owned by any rpm package AFAIK. Fedora has $REPO_NAME-release rpm in each repository installing the gpg key and the .repo file. Is there any purpose openSUSE not doing so or has this other reasons?

That sounds a bit like a chicken/egg issue to me: how do I get the $REPO-NAME-release.rpm if it's in the repo?

It would make sense to have these live in openSUSE:Update or similar to have something chain-of-trust'ish.

In essence, it's two different ways to do the same thing, with no real advantage of one over the other I guess.

With the one-click-web-installer, I agree. On the CLI, you'd save a few characters by not typing the full url (but usually, I assume, they're copied and pasted anyway). -- Kind regards Christopher 'm4z' Holm / 686f6c6d "When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity.
