Hi!

<libzypp> master:

I'd like to add this option to zypp.conf:

##
## Hint which media to prefer when installing packages (download vs. CD).
##
## Valid values:        download, volatile
## Default value:       download
##
## Note that this just a hint. First of all the solver will choose the 'best'
## package according to its repos proiority, version and architecture. But if
## there is a choice, we will prefer packages from the desired media.
##
## Packages available loacaly are always prefered. The question is whether
## you prefer packages being downloaded via FTP/HTTP/HTTPS (download), rather
## than being prompted to insert a CD/DVD (volatile), in case they are 
available
## on both media.
##
##   Name             | Priority | URI
##   openSUSE-11.1      99         dvd:///
##   openSUSE-11.1-Oss  99         
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss
##
## In the above example 2 repositories with similar content are used. Rather
## than raising the priority of one of them to 'prefer' a certain media, you
## should use the same priority for both and set download.media_preference
## instead.
##
## download.media_preference = download


The media preference will be passed to the solver in form of sub-priorities.
This will make the solver prefer packages from a specific media, within a set 
of equal prioritized repos.

Comments?
