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.

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. Does that sound right? -- 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.
