Feature added by: Josef Reidinger (jreidinger) Feature #308420, revision 1 Title: define and use repo index service for opensuse openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Josef Reidinger (jreidinger) Description: Hi, we should define Repo index service for opensuse ( http://en.opensuse.org/Standards/Repository_Index_Service ). advantage: - easy upgrade via zypper and other services - easy to testing latest snapshot - very easy to do it disadvantage: - I don't see anything There should be 2 services. 1) default one is opensuse_release...it defined repository for latest stable repository, so now 11.2 oss, non-oss, debug and update and after we release 11.3 then it switch to 11.3 repositories and user just need to refresh service and run zypper dup 2) testing for opensuse snapshot. It points to snapshot of development version of opensuse, so user could easy switch between alpha2 and alpha3 just updating repository and run zypper dup. Use Case: User A want update from 11.1 to 11.2. Now he must update manually all repositories and run zypper dup. Afterwards, it is enough to refresh service and run zypper dup, which is more easy. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308420
