If you default to 50, you only have 50 possible repositories below it if an unsigned integer is used. And if you use a signed integer, just default to 0.
IMO 99 (least) is a safe default. You can always raise it, and if you really have to, you can as well use values below 99 [100,]. That's not yum conform, but our implementation will not hind you.
YUM: [..] to a repository entry, where /N/ is an integer number from 1 to 99. The default priority for repositories is 99. The repositories with the lowest priority number have the highest priority. [..]
zypp implementing the yum way just leaves me speechless, it is just WRONG. Why limit the priority value to 1..99? Why make it hard to figure out what's low and high? smart did it the right way, where a higher (greater) number means higher priority --- simple mnenomic. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
