As the behavior is configurable, and the old behavior is the default, this should do no harm -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=217534#c4 --- Comment #4 from Peter Poeml <poeml@novell.com> 2007-07-13 06:10:20 MST --- I have spent some thoughts on this issue lately. My discovery is that the feasibility depends on how the other package source looks wrt file naming. If the files are named as they are on download server, it works well with symlinking. Novell-internally, there are installation sources which are named differently. Those can be used only if configuring a matching file:// url for them, with copy_local=1. Symlinks would work, if osc would keep its own list of filename-packagename associations (because otherwise it would be much too slow to be useful). I'm still hesitant to implement something costly and complex, because the workaround is easy: download the packages and cache them, even if it is a waste of local space... Still, your patch is probably useful nevertheless. -- 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.
