Yes, that would be the ideal case.

The LeanOS medium provides several products to install (SLES, SLED, LeanOS).
Which product name should YaST use for the repository name?

The repository name is needed *before* creating the repository. The "provides"
can be read only after the repository created and the metadata are
downloaded/parsed. But there is a possible workaround for this, YaST could
change the name later when the metadata are available.

Also the LeanOS installer could rename the repository according to the selected
product to install.

Or we could add a new "provides" flag which would name the repository. But it
has to be defined only in *one* product in the repository otherwise we would be
back at the multiple names problem.


Stefan, would you prefer a fixed name of the repository or changed according to
the installed product?
