Feature changed by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #309395, revision 4 Title: Handle variables in repo files similar to yum - openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed + openSUSE-11.3: Done Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Anas Nashif (nashif) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Yum expands a set of variables in the repo files such as * releasever (extracted from the release file) * basearch Which allows usage of the same repo files for multiple version and architectures. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Adding such support will allow better portability of repo files between yum and zypper and felxibility managing repos and repo files. Discussion: #1: Duncan Mac-Vicar (dmacvicar) (2010-05-02 12:42:51) Anas, did you really tried using $distver and $basearch in your repo files? This is already implemented. #2: Anas Nashif (nashif) (2010-06-19 15:07:42) Ok, it seems libzypp looks for redhat-release (distroverpkg), but that seems to be hardcoded? Is there away to change this in the config file? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309395
