[softwaremgmt] python/libzypp: query source repo of installed packages
by Elmar Stellnberger 18 Jun '09

wanna make a package stat - how many packages are currently installed from a given source: how can I * query for all installed packages * the source a package has been installed from via python Have found some doc about python/libzypp, but it does not tell me how to query for the package source of an inst. pkg (http://lizards.opensuse.org/2008/10/03/developing-with-libyuilibzypp-python…) Besides this I have found some promising C++ code which I however could not translate to python (methods/obj do not seem to exist in /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/zypp.py): http://pastebin.com/m3d26a44 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+help(a)opensuse.org

[softwaremgmt] obtain source repo directly via rpm header
by Elmar Stellnberger 07 Jun '09

What about simply utilizing a previously unused rpm-tag to directly determine via the rpm-header where a package came from? Then we do not need to parse the whole history just for this purpose! I have had a look at all header entries and have found a promising up to now unused candidate: RPMTAG_SOURCE For the future RPMTAG_SOURCE could carry the Buildservice-URL a package is provided via. SOURCE = http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Community/openSUSE_11.1 RPMTAG_DISTRIBUTION could then no longer be complicated with the info already present in RPMTAG_ARCH, but extended with a hint like Buildservice/Core: now: DISTRIBUTION = openSUSE 11.0 (X86-64) ARCH = x86_64 as proposed: DISTRIBUTION = openSUSE 11.0 / Buildservice ARCH = x86_64 .. then I can wrack my fresh history parser implementation; slurp. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+help(a)opensuse.org

[softwaremgmt] rug complains about inactive dvd mount point
by Elmar Stellnberger 15 May '09

Having added the following service to zmd 4 | Inactive | ZYPP | Suse Linux 11.1 DVD | /media/dvd/ zen-updater always complains about the inactive dvd-repo not showing if any new updates are available. How can I stop actualization for the dvd-repo (mount dvd & service refresh: ok)? By the way is there any easy way to parse the history for zenworks as well? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+help(a)opensuse.org
