Hi,

I've noticed that for Mageia 5 the OBS provides erroneous installation instructions. For example, view the Mageia 5 installation instructions for this package (https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Afusion809&package=vim), notice how they presently are (running these commands as root):

urpmi.addmedia home:fusion809 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:fusion809/Mageia_5/ urpmi.update -a urpmi vim

This fails, the correct instructions would instead be (running these commands also as root):

urpmi.addmedia home:fusion809 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:fusion809/Mageia_5/$(uname -m)

urpmi.addmedia home:fusion809 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:fusion809/Mageia_5/noarch urpmi.update -a urpmi vim

You really need to add noarch and the architecture? This looks quite different/wrong to me. Are you sure that this is not a bug in the urpmi tool? (uname -m might not always match btw and the src repo would need to get added as well?)

For further details please refer to this openSUSE forums topic I started on this very subject (https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/522652-Errors-adding-my-Mageia-5-...).

Sorry, not checked there yet, but maybe do create an issue for the software portal here: https://github.com/openSUSE/software-o-o (this is not really an OBS issue) good morning adrian -- Adrian Schroeter email: adrian@suse.de SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
