Well, then think about how to solve the following with the current setup of the
_public OBS_:
Project A:Foo contains Package1 (stable release) and Project A:Bar contains
Package1 (svn snapshots, most time broken). Further A:Bar contains Package2
which I want to install as well.
So we have the following situation:
1. Project A:Foo and A:Bar share the same key and therefore currently have the
same vendor.
2. I want Package1 _only_ from A:Foo since the version in A:Bar is most times
broken.
3. I also need to add Project A:Bar since it contains Package2 which I want to
install as well.
So how am I supposed to force zypp now to get Package1 only from A:Foo and not
to constantly switch to the broken versions in A:Bar (which is newer but
broken)?
I honestly fail to see why it should be taken to the mailing lists and what
there is to discuss since it is currently impossible and therefore obviously
broken.
And no, IMHO, writing people an email to ask them to please use separate
vendors is no option since there are too many repos on OBS and the problem can
arise out of nowhere as soon as someone adds some package somewhere.
Also this problem would not exist if you would simply use unique vendors per
repository.
So, with all due respect, until you can come up with a solution for the above
usecase _on the public OBS_ I dare to say that either the implementation or the
configuration currently is broken and needs to be fixed.
