Did you rebuild the repo metadata? I used to do: ## update metadata createrepo --update -d /path/to/your/repo ## then sign your repomd.xml gpg -a --detach-sign --yes --batch --passphrase $( < $REPOKEY ) /path/to/repodata/repomd.xml gpg -a --export $MY_KEY > /path/to/repodata/repomd.xml.key I don't know if you need all that for a simple directory to incorporate with zypper, but it eliminates all unsigned warnings, etc... -- David C.

No, I don't use that method. It is just a plain directory. The problem is simply that zypper does not sees symlinks. Intentional or bug? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

No clue there. I can see where zypper wouldn't follow symlinks. It really depends on how zypper treats them (of which I have no clue) It works with the actual file though -- right? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

As a general rule of thumb - whenever you ask "is this a bug?", the most likely answer is "yes" ;-) Please open a bugreport - I can't imagine why skipping symlinks would be a good idea. Regards, Christian Boltz --
We could call it openSUSE 11.11.11 ;-) I'd prefer we use the US date format: 11.11.11 ;-) [> Freek de Kruijf and Greg Freemyer in opensuse-project]

Answer: +++----------- Hi Carlos, it's the intended behavior. I'll update the zypper manpage to point out that symlinks are not followed. -----------++- -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Why not ask to make the bug a "Feature Request" and add an option to --follow-symlinks -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
