Feature changed by: andrea florio (anubisg1) Feature #307834, revision 15 Title: allow zypper to understand obs:// repos - openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation by project manager + openSUSE-11.3: Done Priority Requester: Important Requested by: andrea florio (anubisg1) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: i think will be wonderful if zypper/YaST will be able to menage obs repos using the URI currenctly used on kiwi... obs://X11:/lxde/openSUSE_11.1 (or even obs://X11:lxde/openSUSE_11.1 using the obs name without / ) is much easier than http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/lxde/openSUSE_11.1 (hoping i didn't forget something writing that down) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: to have a better cooperation between zypper and obs (and make easier to add obs repos just adding the project name instead of the full url Discussion: #1: Sascha Manns (saigkill) (2009-09-25 10:06:29) I like this Idea. Hope it can be implement in future versions. #2: Carlos Gonçalves (cgoncalves) (2010-01-04 17:09:07) Please install zypper from home:cgoncalves/zypper (same version shipped with openSUSE 11.2) and check if it works as you are requesting. #3: andrea florio (anubisg1) (2010-01-05 00:39:18) yes, it works fine :) #4: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2010-02-09 18:30:15) using "obs://" in kiwi or build service is refering to a local build service instance. This is not always build.opensuse.org. kiwi has the "opensuse://" convention for refering http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ . #5: Jakub Rusinek (liviopl) (2010-02-10 19:12:20) It would be very useful to provide semi-protocol and handler for ymp files (semi-protocol with shorter, simplified urls: ymp://repo/ymp.file or ymp://repo/package and/or ymp://repo/package1,package2) and obs repos. Apt-url equivalent would be less for debianers to complain (; . #6: Michael Löffler (michl19) (2010-05-12 12:52:07) Where are we with this? #7: Will Stephenson (wstephenson) (2010-09-15 15:51:54) (reply to #6) Michael Andras looked at it, somebody (not him) built in a hack to zypper that resolves obs:/ urls into http://download.opensuse.org/repositories (by default). But ma and mls say this should be implemented properly at the libzypp level. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307834
