I have hope in zypper
Yes. There is one extremely cool feature in zypper: It is unable to synchronise itself with zmd. The braindamaged(?) synchronisation is all in YCP code, inaccessible to zypper. Ever look at /usr/share/YaST2/modules/SourceManager.ycp, especially IsUrlKnownToZMD? It hurts so much: //format: "3|Active|ZYPP|ServiceName|ftp://example.org/update/10.1" // With empty lines and "Waking up ZMD...Done" as a distraction map ret = RunLong (rug + " --no-abbrev --terse service-list | cut -d'|' -f5 --only-delimited"); As soon as people start using zypper to add installation sources, a new problem arises: They won't appear in zmd because zypper is simply unable to do that and people will ask why zmd is needed at all if zypper gets the job done without this super-expensive mess around it. Maybe that can be a starting point to put all this stuff into question for openSUSE (the acceptance in the community is close to zero and nobody knows if there's a single openSUSE user out there that actually makes use of unique zmd features), but as long as zmd is still there, not installing it by default in certain scenarios, but still installing it in others can cause problems (and embarrassment). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
