I could not seem to find openFATE to try and add this. But I would really like an option to forbid an architecture. I find that zypper still tries to put i586.rpm on my 64 bit systems. I do not mind the -32 packages, but I really want to forbid the use of any i586.rpm. I would like to get a FATE request and see responses. I know a lot of people I talk with want the same option. Did you read http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Locksfile ? you can lock a lot
Greetings, Stephan
Thanks for the pointer. I had been looking at the locks file, but couldn't see other than discrete packages there. I should be clear of them sneaking in now. Regards Sid
Discrete packages add yast packager. It is when you set taboo and it is added automatic to this file (this allows that your taboo is set also during next run of packager). zypper also add to it (but little diferent kind, because zypper allow more complex locks, but file itself allow the most complex locks, which should be really complicated. I also recommend read man locks (I write it and maybe there is another examples then in wiki, I don't remember). JR
Very interesting and new knowledge. I first heard of the locks file in a reply when I mentioned that packages I built and installed were being removed. At that time the file didn't exist on my systems, so I never got the syntax correct. I can't remember seeing "locks" in the zypper manpage back then, but the current manpage gives a good description and a pointer to the locks manpage. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
