[New: openFATE 311323] Per-instance (temporary) repo enabling in zypper
Feature added by: Jakub Rusinek (liviopl) Feature #311323, revision 1 Title: Per-instance (temporary) repo enabling in zypper openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jakub Rusinek (liviopl) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: in yum it is possible to enable a repository only for one instance. eg. yum --enable development install rhythmbox will install rhythmbox from disabled repo development. yum --disable repo fedora install x will install package x from other repo, which packages have less priority than fedora's packages and the fedora's packages are preffered by yum. per-instance repo management is good idea, esp. if you're not willing to permanently update your whole system to factory, but eg. update single firefox. Use Case: Jon is an active Mozilla contributor and wants to ensure Firefox is the same stable and featured downstream so he calles zypper up --enable mozilla:factory mozillafirefox and gets fresh firefox along with other required packages without enabling and disabling repo by hand or updating whole system accidentaly. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: You won't need to enable and disable repos every time you want only concrete packages from a repo. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311323
