[zypp-devel] Question Regarding Packages with EULAs
by Justin Haygood 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

Hello. I'm investigating adding a zypp backend to packagekit, and during my investigation, I noticed that some packages zypp handles has EULA prompts. While discussing with Richard Hughes, we discussed how to handle this, and due to the backend design, there was 2 methods: 1. Showing the EULA before the package is queued (preferable) 2. Showing the EULA after the package is installed So basically.. the question for this list is: 1. Is the EULA for the package (such as flash-player, etc..) available before the package is installed, and available via the libzypp API? Thanks again for your time --Justin Haygood -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[zypp-devel] repo alias vs. name
by Jan Kupec 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

Hi, i would like to achieve a new agreement about repository alias and name usage. The *last agreement* is to *use alias internaly* by applications and *present name to the user* (see [1]). YaST now uses the URL as both the alias and the name by default and allows the user to change the name. But then you get a mess like this in zypper: $ zypper sl # | Enabled | Refresh | Type | Name | URI --+---------+---------+-------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | No | Yes | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-Factory-non-oss/inst-source-ex… | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-Factory-non-oss/inst-source-ex… 2 | Yes | Yes | yast2 | stable | ftp://dist.suse.de/install/stable-x86 3 | No | Yes | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/ | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/ 4 | No | Yes | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory-debug/inst-source-… | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory-debug/inst-source-… In addition, zypper uses alias to as argment in repo handling commands and options (ok, you can use repo number (after i reimplement it - soon), but then you need to use zypper repos/lr/sl to list them each time). Another thing is, that libzypp names the .repo files in /etc/zypp/repos.d according to the alias, which again creates a mess if urls are used. My *proposal* is to use *alias as a short name* and the *name as a long name*. I.e., to use a user specified *short name/alias* as both alias and name by default, and leave the possibility to change the long name later (if not specified when ading the repo). IMO, this way, the overall user experience (mainly for zypper users but also for YaST users) will increase. If you don't like this idea for some reasons (e.g. the YaST users will need to enter the alias in addition to the URL, although they might like it :O), please, at least let's use something different internally in YaST for the alias, not the URL. Something shorter.

I just thought I would set the refresh delay to 8 hours on my machine so I needed to edit the config file... please use this one as a stub. -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu

[zypp-devel] Updating vendors
by Stefan Schubert 04 Sep '07

Hi, should we realy not upgrade these vendors: Discarding 'U__s_[S1:1][package]kdenetwork3-news-3.5.7-46.i586' from vendor 'SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany' different to uninstalled 'openSUSE Build Service' vendor. Discarding 'U__s_@[S1:1][package]dvd+rw-tools-7.0-43.i586' from vendor 'SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany' different to uninstalled 'suse' vendor. Discarding 'U__s_@[S1:1][package]agrep-0.7.5-31.i586' from vendor 'SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany' different to uninstalled 'SuSE Linux AG, Nuernberg, Germany' vendor. Additional there are "empty" vendors which will not be upgraded too: Discarding 'U__s_@[S2:0][pattern]non_oss-10.3-118.i586' from vendor 'SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany' different to uninstalled '' vendor. Discarding 'U__s_@[S1:1][package]libdv-1.0.0-6.i586' from vendor 'SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany' different to uninstalled '' vendor. I think it is a little bit to much restricted. Any opinions ?

Hi! Maybe it's time to introduce 'man zypp.conf' or at least a fully commented zypp.conf example. Without this, the configuration features will get lost.
