Well, and then there's the elephant in the room: dnf is a Fedora (and thus a RedHat) product, while zypper is SUSE's child. Just because of that it's going to be a rocky road and it will probably take ages or be downright impossible to push dnf as the default to SLE (zypper has a lot of SLE specific handling, for example packagehub integration).
Looking at SUSE support articles, Package Hub stuff is added with YaST and SUSEConnect, so zypp/er don't really have much to do with that
Kinda related There were some plans to make an OBS plugin to make it easier to interact with OBS, but that was kinda abandoned, since OBS api requires authentication for every single action. https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf-plugins-extras/issues/64
This is probably not going to get any simpler given the recent DOS "attacks" (not sure if they were attacks, but OBS' public routes got hammered by web crawlers), see https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service/issues/9876
Integrations like that aren't too hard to do, as long as there is an api of some kind
OBS has a pretty extensive API, but unfortunately (in this case) all of it requires authentication. However, I don't really see a reason why an interested user couldn't create an authentication token and put it into a config file? The UX wouldn't be as great as with the copr plugin, but better than nothing?
The problem is that OBS has no API token concept, so I can't even do that. I *could* write the plugin to use the ~/.config/oscrc that exists on disk, though. If I can get some time for this again, I may implement a "blind" plugin with obs:// URIs and add configuration for mapping obs:// URIs to download URLs. It's not great, but at least it's better than nothing, and essentially makes it the same as zypper's handling of obs:// URIs for adding OBS repos. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
