[zypp-devel] Updating vendors

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 ?

perhaps we should introduce a vendor compare function instead of using == everywhere. VendorAttr already has the code to compare a vendor with a vendor in the trusted list, using only the first characters, and in lower case. Then you can even change the behavior to read a compatibility table.

Well, I don't think it would be wise to 'trust' just all the repos in the BS like this. This cross grade is something I like to have control, without the need to verify all the time. from BS to SUSE Linux, I see it different; but even there, that will mean it cripples my packages sometimes down to unusable again.
'SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany' different to uninstalled 'suse' vendor.
I guess that vendor anyhow should not exist in this form. Could not THIS be the problem? Why not fix those packages (apparently they are internal packages?) but introduce complexity to the program?

That one is sane I'd say. A cross-grade here should be allows.

Comes again the question why is there an empty vendor in something provided by the original SUSE Packages.
