[opensuse-factory] One-click-installs
Heya all, Going back to the discussion we had a while ago about moving to Tumbleweed in openSUSE 12.1. After a little bit of thinking* I concluded that of course all (new) tumbleweed users need to move over to this setup of using the 'current' instead of the 12.1 repositories. So I changed the Tumbleweed page to reflect this: http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed And also: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Change_from_12.1_to_Tumbleweed It makes the text a bit complicated. And I suck at un-complicating it, I suppose, help is welcome. But there is another matter I'm sure some of you object to much more strongly: I use a self-made one-click-install file for adding Tumbleweed**. I dunno if OCI can remove repo's but at least I can add the right ones... However. I have no idea where to host the file. So for now I put it on my *anathema* public dropbox... /me hides Yes, horrible, I know. I'm however sure our sysadmins can find a much better spot for this one-click install. And maybe also for the one-click-install for ownCloud, if we have one that works better?!? http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed I just decided to go ahead, make the OCI and put it somewhere to have at least an improvement over the current situation ;-) Cheers, Jos * yes, I do it sometimes and yes, it usually hurts and leads to bad stuff, I'll try not to do it again ** Credit to Greg KH who made it, I just added the 'current' repo's to it too -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It's not bad, I had it hosted on kernel.org for a long time before that site went down :)

I would love to be able to figure out how to add a file like this to the wiki to be hosted within it, anyone know how to do this? thanks,

Nice, glad to see you added this, but doesn't this also mean you need to disable the 12.1 repos as well? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

The openSUSE-KDE team hosts them inside their own repo. For instance take a look here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Distro:/Factory/openSUSE_12.1... You can see they have KDE4-BASIS.ymp, KDE4-DEFAULT.ymp, KDE4-DEVEL.ymp, and KDE4-GAMES.ymp hosted right in their repo directory tree. That seems like a logical place for it, especially since anyone trying to set it up manually will automatically come across the ymp files when doing so. You could probably ask them how they do that. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Now THIS is an excellent suggestion. I think I'll try to create a 'package' with just that file, then submit it to Tumbleweed so it can be maintained in there :D See if GregKH likes that idea... Meanwhile, I understood OCI can not help us remove the 'old' repositories. I have written down in the how-to on openSUSE.org/Tumbleweed how to remove them but it'd be far nicer if OCI could take care of that. I suspect giving OCI such power is a bit dangerous from a security perspective? Or is it something we could add some day, provided someone steps up to do it?
