Hi,

As we're getting close to the feature freeze, maybe we should finally think about the statements below, what do you think about it?

 

 

—----------------------------------------

Maybe I'm on the wrong place for this, but it might be interesting even
here:

Let's assume the following (I think a not so uncommon scenario):
- A user installs a openSuSE Version 10.1
- He changes the installation repositories to something like
  ftp://mirror.suse.de/pub/SL-Stable/inst-source
and adds also
  ftp://mirror.suse.de/pub/SL-Stable/non-oss-inst-source

Now come's one of the trickier parts:
The upudate repo is pointing to:
ftp://mirror.suse.de/update/10.1

What will happen when openSUSE 10.2 get's the 'stable' Distribution an
dwill thus be linked in place of 10.1?

ZMD will most probably install many packages from 10.2 (maybe even
wished by the user) but the link to the update repo will still point to
10.1.
The same problem is with MOST external repos, as most of them also
contain the version number in the path.

Could there something be implemented to have it point to a URL like:
ftp://mirror.suse.de/update /%OSS-VERSION%, thus updating the links upon
a relink of the stable tree?

The same would be great for external repos of course.

Regards,
Dominique
