Re: [opensuse-factory] A users wishlist to make zypper up/dup & suse noob-friendly

It would seem part of the suggestion could be solved by allowing the priority to be set in a .repo file and make that the suggested path for adding packman (in wiki and elsewhere). ie a file like http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/boombatower:/openage/openSU… [home_boombatower_openage] name=openage (openSUSE_Tumbleweed) type=rpm-md baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/boombatower:/openag… gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/boombatower:/openage… enabled=1 <<priority=90>> <-- add this Perhaps it is already supported? If so then simply suggesting on packman list to provide such a file with configured priority. The docs could also be updated to include the highly recommended zypper dup --from packman once step. Also would be nifty if that priority could be altered on any OBS repository so project maintainers can set a priority that makes sense as described in the other thread. (perhaps already available?) Another slick addition would be to add a --priority option to `zypper ar` so it could be documented with priority instead of requiring an `mr` step to change it after adding. I would actually be interested in seeing if I could tackle adding such a feature. Note my packman setup instructions on https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/wiki/Install-Instructions which include this longer set of steps (screenshot for lazy: http://i.imgur.com/3L5lPE8.png). Assuming a properly configured system I would imagine the last issue regarding conflict resolution would be less of an issue since conflicts should arise less often, but yast or zypper have an interactive way to solve that. Obviously it's not automatic, but computers cannot think quite yet. -- Jimmy On Tue, Jul 14, 2015 at 1:34 PM, Roman Bysh &lt;rbtc1(a)rogers.com&gt; wrote: -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
