[opensuse-factory] Option on 11.2 to forbid architectures.
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. -- Boyd Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com> 801 849-0213 ZENEZ 1042 East Fort Union #135, Midvale Utah 84047 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Yes, this help, only problem is that it lock state, so if you have full 64-bit system and lock every 32 bit packages, you have clean 64-bit system, but if you lock all 32bit packages and have some 32-bit packages, then this packages cannot be uninstalled and cannot be upgraded. JR P.S. lock for all 32 bit is really easy add this line to the end of locks file (ensure, that this is at least one empty line after last line). First line say that all iwhatever86 arch lock and second say, that you in first line use glob pattern (you can also use regex and little change first line. solvable_arch: i*86 match_type: glob if this doesn't work, then write and I look at it (this file structure is implemented by me, so I know it) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

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. -- Sid Boyce ...

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).

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 ...

Seconded! I have had severe problems with this in the recent past. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
