The "feature request" is about a "zypper modifyconfig --{no,}deltas". I really hate having to manually edit databases. Looks like I'm growing old.
(and yes, i'm nowadays considering config files, each with its own format and syntax as almost as bad as binary blob databases. It does not matter if your config editor tool is "vi" or "mysql")
Maybe even a setting somewhere in the yast2 packagemanager gui? (I seldom use this, so I'd care more for a zypper switch ;-)
Nothing too urgent though, I always just distribute an identical, changed zypp.conf to all newly installed machines.
I'd say patches welcome ;-) Hacking zypper is not complicated thing, really. Stano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
