Deployed images contain /var/log/zypp/history which probably shows how the
image was created:
...
2008-12-09 21:42:05|radd
|repo|file:/usr/src/packages/BUILD/openSUSE-images-11.1/gnome_cd...
...
In case the history information is reliable and should in fact be installed on
the system, the repo alias 'repo' should be more descriptive, so the user knows
where this repo came from. Maybe the image creating script should also delete
the repo, so there is a corresponding |rdel| entry.
If the information is not reliable, the file should not be installed.
Some people are confused by this, as they don't know where the entries came
from.
