--- Comment #4 from Andi N Kleen
Ad 'zypper repos' - there's also 'zypper help repos' which would point you to -d or -u options.
First that's totally unclear from the manpage (which generally seems get worse each release, with more strange concepts getting added like "services" where it is unclear what the difference is to a repository) What would have been useful if the updater had named the cd source it added behind my back "opensuse 11.1 DVD" or something like that. And also if there are multiple sources which are the same list the urls by default to distingush them?
If the 'mount' command takes too long, how should zypper deal with it? Should it ask user whether to wait longer or to cancel the mount?
You could start a background process, if it takes longer than a few seconds start querying the backup network sources too if they got the same package. And yes if it takes longer than some hard timeout it should offer to cancel (although that's often difficult because mount might be blocked somewhere in the kernel)
Nope. You could just as well want to keep the DVD you used for the update as an installation repo for further installations after the update.
Again when I didn't have any DVD sources before the update I don't want the update to second guess my existing configuration and change it behind my back. If I want a new configuration I would have used a new install, not an update. -- 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.
