To implement snapshot repos, it should be possible to provide _snapshot repodata_ only, and link to the packages in the rolling repo. Ideally this would mean to only have suse/repodata/ (and possibly some more metatada I overlooked) specific to each snapshot, and all the other directories symlinked to the rolling repo.
This way would have some advantages: - probably easy to implement - not too painful for the mirrors (only some hundred MB of additional metadata) - no changes in zypper needed because the rolling repo could stay the default (if you want a previous snapshot, you'll need to "zypper ar" it and disable the rolling repo) - but I won't object if someone wants to implement a command to switch to a specific snapshot
Feedback from someone who knows about how the repo is created and published would be nice - I'm especially interested if it's really as easy as a think/hope ;-)

Just saying: If we agree on having such functionality, IMHO this is the way to go. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a. Knurpht openSUSE Board Member openSUSE Forums Team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
