[Bug 305445] New: zypper support for installing different architectures
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=305445 Summary: zypper support for installing different architectures Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 2 Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: kkaempf@novell.com ReportedBy: martin.schlander@gmail.com QAContact: kkaempf@novell.com Found By: --- It would be very nice if zypper would have support for installing other architectures than the default. In some circumstances users may want to install i586 versions of packages on an x86_64 system - for example Firefox, Java, maybe videoplayers.. -- 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.

What we need is a way to tell the solver to prefer a specific architecture per resolvable/selectable. For zypp this could mean extending the Capability by Arch (since the apps should use solver.addRequires(cap) to get the stuff installed) and passing that on to the sat solver. -- 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.

We're about to remove/rewrite solver.addRequires(cap), because Capabilities are not sufficient here. You want to file special solver requests here: install foo update foo delete baa; edition = 1.2.3 install foo; arch = i386; repository = myrepo And you will then be able to apply further restrictions to a job, depending on what the satsolver supports. As soon as we're able to ask the satsolver to install one out of a set of solvables, we can implement as many requests restrictions as we like. -- 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.

Regarding sat-solver support: the implementation is done. There are two methods to specify the arch: 1) use the new SOLVER_INSTALL_SOLVABLE_ONE_OF 2) create a "name.arch" relation and use the SOLVER_INSTALL_SOLVABLE_NAME with it. -- 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.

I'm just concerned how it would do, if are to support regexes in the install command. But i guess regexes already use so many special characters, that we just will need to restrict its use to zypper install <regex>, no archs or repos or what. We already want to use 'zypper install <repo>:name' to request a per-package repo anyway. -- 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.

Is it doable any time soon? If not, i would at least do it the old way - let zypper choose, hard-mark for installation. -- 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.

No, just create a "name[.arch] [op edition]" relation. It should work out of the box as soon as the parser is fixed. For yzpper the case should not differ from "name [op edition]". -- 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.
