So far the best thing that came to mind was: * openSUSE-release Suggests opensuse-release-ftp Then we need to ensure that: * openSUSE-release-dvd ends up on the DVD (already done) * openSUSE-release-ftp does NOT end up on the DVD (already done) release-dvd needs to be published in the online repo though; otherwise, machines switch to -ftp later on (this needs to be fixed) This would make the two 'standard' use cases pick the right one (except when the DVD is used with online repos enabled; then it will likely pick -ftp; which is not too wrong, the DVD acts pretty much as live install medium with local cache) For the live ISOs, the appliances and containers, we'd be responsible to pick the right flavor whenever we want something special (which is very error prone of course) Better ideas are very much welcome
