Josef: it would be worthwhile I think to still recognize and parse the old names (without exposing them in the API) to avoid this problem with lock files written in the intermediate form.
Why?
Why not? :-) It doesn't clutter up the sources too much and is not in a performance sensitive area, so we can do that. OTOH you are right that it existed only very shortly, but as you can see in this thread even that was enough that someone was hit by the problem.
The old names existed only during two betas or so. Why not just get rid of them and not pollute the code? Instead a mechanism to detect and log (at least) an unknown attribute (whether it is a sat attribute or PoolQuery's own) should be added.
I'm not sure this would work. The attributes are extensible, hence libzypp can't know which attributes are unknown, and which aren't. Ciao, Michael. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
