[zypp-devel] Locks wiki
by Josef Reidinger 06 May '08

06 May '08

Hi, I create wiki page[1] about locks format. Please fill info about solvattr which i don't know. One interesting thing is, that locks accept everything from knowid from sat-solver, because I pass string with attribute to poolquery and poolquery fill this string to dataiterator which know it. so also much undocumented attributes work (e.g. provides or evr).

[zypp-devel] upgrade - removing unmaintained packages?
by Ladislav Slezak 06 May '08

06 May '08

Hi all, zypp::UpgradeOptions() had 'delete_unmaintained' flag for removing unmaintained packages. But it's gone now. Why? How can we remove unmaintained packages now? The reason is: "gcc42 is explicitly not obsoleted, but only people that explicitly want to keep it should be able to do so" and "and any kind of package obsolete would do hard erase it" Coolo suggested adding a fixed list ("gcc42"...) somewhere into yast (probably into control.xml file). But maintaining a fixed list is wrong solution IMO... Should I implement the behavior in pkg-bindings level or is it possible to put it back to libzypp? What did the option do exactly?

[zypp-devel] libzypp download failover - server side implemented
by Dr. Peter Poeml 02 May '08

Hi, I have implemented a text mirror list for libzypp, which is returned for requests containing the rfc 2295 header shown below. I slightly changed the format. The returned mime type is application/mirrorlist-txt. A Vary header is set on the header for proper caching. % curl -sH "Accept-Features: mirrorlist-txt" 'http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/suse/repodata/prima…' | head -6 # mirrorlist-txt version=1.0 # url baseurl_len mirrorid region:country power http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/opensuse/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/sus… 45 39 EU:de 100 http://download.uni-hd.de/ftp/pub/linux/opensuse/distribution/10.3/repo/oss… 49 41 EU:de 100 http://opensuse.intergenia.de/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/suse/repodata/prim… 30 75 EU:de 100 http://widehat.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/suse/repodata/primar… 28 97 EU:de 50 I have updated http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Failover accordingly.
