We are designing the new repo handling model of the SUSE package manager stack to be more compatible with YUM, smart and the build service .repo files. When I looked at the .repo files at the first time, I thought the baseurl= was a unique url, which was the url of the origin of the metadata (used to identify), and the actual urls were pulled from a mirror list. I was confused for a bit when I discovered a .repo can have more than one baseurl. Even more when saw the strange way to do multi-line in the ini file. That means basically, there is no url you can use to, in the case you add a .repo file which has a list of urls, but the same base url as an already existing .repo, just append the urls to the mirrorlist. Ok, that sucks (as much as the documentation). But now comes another problem. Our (broken) model, requires a pair (url, path). If we support more than one baseurl in the .repo file, you can't have path as a separate unique attribute. .repo files doesn't specifiy path. I think the best solution is to get rid of path completely. Do we need it? no. It is needed in CD, NFS only (probably ISO too?) because we are using it in a wrong way. Can aynone give examples? why is needed? I am sure we can destroy those examples using the standard Url structure (and abusing options) Duncan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+help@opensuse.org
