https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472067 Summary: option for zypper to only use local package directories Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: estellnb@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.10 (like Gecko) SUSE There should be an option for zypper to use local package directories only(cd/dvd, local mount points). At the moment it is necessary to wait until zypper gives up connecting to the remote repository to press [i]gnore thereupon and all of that once for each remote package directory.

Having that, would you still want the option? Also, there is a way to disable all remote repos (zypper mr -d --remote), but that might not be too convenient when enabling them later, if you have many repos and you don't want to enable them all. -- 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.

If the internet connectedness were monitored in a central place and exposed somewhere over the system-dbus interface applications would not need to test for the connectivity themselves. Concerning bug 465223 I would prefer this issue to be implemented over mine if zypper was really able to instantaneously check internet availability, because it is already monitored in the background as described in the paragraph before. Otherwise I would see bug 465223 as an additional issue. Give the user an [i]gnore-all opportunity if zypper can not connect to the first repository in the list. This will be useful if the user forgets to set the --local switch. -- 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.

It is not yet possible to issue: zypper in --local packagename only: zypper mr -d --local but this is not what we want; zypper mr -d --remote would be required but is less desirable than enabling the local switch for the install command. -- 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.

So that is the slight difference between --local and --no-remote! Just why don't the use the same option in multiple commands? I would have expected both options to be usable as synonyms. -- 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 synonym would be --local-only, not just --local. OTOH, the modifyrepo command option --local makes the command select only local repos for the operation. Also bear in mind that zypper makes difference between global options and command-specific options. The --local option is currently defined only for the mr and ms command to select the local repos for modification.
