[Bug 456099] New: Yast identifies community repositories by repo, repo_1
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456099 Summary: Yast identifies community repositories by repo, repo_1 Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: RC 1 Platform: 32bit OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: badshah400@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer In the Yast Software Management module (qt-interface), I have added two external repositories (by using the Add repository -> community repositories): Packman and vlc. When I select a certain software say, libxine1 (the Packman version of which I wish to install) the version of the software in the lower pane (description, technical data, dependencies, VERSION are all shown in this pane) is shown to be from repo. Similarly when I select vlc-beta (from vlc repository) the version pane shows repo_1, and so on. This makes it really difficult to understand the actual repository from which a corresponding software is being installed. -- 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.

How is one expected to understand what repo, repo_1 stand for? Further, this problem only occurs when Add repository -> Community repository is used, in case where the URL and name of repo are manually supplied the correct alias is shown. -- 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.

A unique alias is required, and so yast has to invent names in automated operations like adding Community repos. You can always go to the repository manager or use zypper to change the alias. @Ladislav: I know it's not easy to invent those names. In my test applications I usually use url_r.getHost()+"-"+basename(url_r.getPathName()) as stem for the alias. Something like this might give a better hint on what repo it is. http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.1/ -> download.opensuse.org-11.1 http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/ -> download.opensuse.org-oss -- 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.

In opensuse 11.0 when community repositories are added the alias of the repo is automatically set as the repository name with the spaces replaced by the _. In opensuse 11.1 also this behaviour of the alias is seen with those repositories that are added from the repository manager by explicitly specifying the URL and repository name. It is only with those repositories added from the add repo -> community repositories that the repo alias is not taken as repo_name. -- 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.

Yast repository manager displays 'name' property which is correctly set to the description of the repository, e.g. 'openSUSE BuildService - KDE:Community'. The package selector widget should display the names. It seems to be fixed now, the current yast displays the names correctly. -- 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.

A1l of them have the names set correctly in repo managment.

I'm just thinking how to improve the alias from "repo_N" to something better. The idea from comment #3 fails for repositories from OBS. Example: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.1 -> download.opensuse.org-openSUSE_11.1 which doesn't tell much and similar alias would be used for _all_ OBS repositories. Using two last elements from the path would help (download.opensuse.org-mozilla-openSUSE_11.1) but there still might be some cases when it will look bad and the alias would be quite long. A short alias is important especially for zypper users, writing too long alias on command line is uncomfortable. A solution for community repositories could be specifying also the alias in the downloaded XML definition file (in addition to name, URL and description). -- 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.

The alias could just take the part of the URL that lies before the '/opensuse_<version>' and after the 'repository/' (and omit the rest of the URL). This might still not be suitable for the repositories like http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/STABLE:/Extra-Apps/open... but for most repositories this should give a short, useful alias. -- 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.

In that case next to the last element is used. It's probably not the best solution but should be good in most cases. The alias is just a proposed value, users can change it if it doesn't look as they want. Example: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.1 -> download.opensuse.org-mozilla http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/STABLE:/Extra-Apps/open... -> download.opensuse.org-Extra-Apps To comment #10: Yast must be more flexible, it must also support non-OBS repositories (3rd party repos), that solution is good for OBS repos only. -- 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.
