Hi everybody

 

I just made a small check: I installed a minimal SuSE Linux 10.1 (using FTP), downloaded some packages from the FTP Server to a local CacheDir (for building packages using 'build')

 

Then I added that directory to RUG with

  rug sa -t mount /usr/src/build_rpms

 

rug also subscribed that channel.

 

I have some packages in there already which I used to compile PenguPop ( a multi player Puzzle Bobble, can BTW also already be found in the home:dimstar repository!). SDL for example exists there, but is not yet installed on my base installation.

 

When I now go to the freshly built PenguPop RPMs and type

  rug in pengupop-2.1.9-1.1.i586.rpm

rug correctly determines the dependencies and wants to install SDL.

BUT: unfortunately, it tries to pull it down from the FTP Server again, which is a waste of time and resources.

 

SO: long story short request (ENH)

I think it would be nice to be able to prioritize the Catalogs (rug sp local 1) and giving them a service priority. Lowest number wins.

Of course, still version numbers having the highest priority, but when finding the same package on different locations, it would be nice to have the power as the user to decide / influence where from they are coming.

 

Or has this already been done in later version? I have rug-7.1.1.0-18 on that workstation

 

Thank you for a short reply and some of your thoughts!
