Is there a way to choose that ftp5 site permanently, or a quick way of switching? Yes. Each *.repo file in /etc/zypp/repos.d/ is a component of your total repository configuration. Files there with such extensions as .repobak or .repogwdg are ignored. You can create a whole fleet of files there or elsewhere that can be copied to or from valid .repo files according to what repos you want to be active, and as quickly as renaming or copying any small text file. Save Printing.repo to some other name, then edit it to change from download.opensuse.org/ to ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/ if you really want to limit yourself to one single mirror that may or may not be up to date or overloaded when you need to use it. I have this:
download.opensuse.org-lxde.repo repo-debug-update-non-oss.repo ftp.gwdg.de-suse.repo repo-debug-update.repo home:darkhado:openSUSE.repo repo-non-oss.repo network:chromium.repo repo-oss.repo openSUSE-13.2-0.repo repo-source.repo opensuse-guide.org-repo.repo repo-update-non-oss.repo Printing.repo repo-update.repo repo-debug.repo
Can you give me a yes/no on these? Are those the repositories which online update reads? If I delete Printing.repo do the packages that were installed from it remain? If I delete Printing.repo will it update any longer?
Also I see that the printing stuff is experimental. Is it possible to freeze the repository and prevent it adding anything else now that I have it working? zypper al <packagename> will lock any package, installed or not, until such time as you do zypper rl <packagename>, or you do something with zypper or yast to induce it to ask you if you wish the lock to be removed and you answer yes.
OK. So If al locks a package. What locks a repository?
Sorry, if these appear to be stupid questions (again) but your help and patience is invaluable.
Please, do yourself a favor and do NOT delete a *.repo file, but rename it. e.g. "mv Printing.repo Printing.repobak" But, a even more easy and transparent way to stop updateing and installing from a repo is to disable it. e.g. "zypper -mr -R -d Printing" Then installed packages from this repo will remain, but no update for these packages will be done. The "Online update" aka patches needs these at least: repo-update.repo repo-update-non-oss.repo (the later only for Acrobat Reader and Adobe Flash Player plugin) - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
