[zypp-devel] RFC zypper addlock --repo
Hi. Bnc#732027 reveals a flaw in zypper addlock --repo <repo> ... This command will lock all matching packages in <repo>, i.e. prevent them from being installed. But in addition to this (or instead of) you may want to lock already installed packages originating from this repo as well. I suppose this is the more interesting usecase, and I'm think this should be the default for --repo. So what about adding 2 new addlock options: addlock --repo locks in repo and installed from repo ++ addlock --from-repo locks installed from repo ++ addlock --repo-only locks in repo -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Development, ma@suse.de GF:Jeff Hawn,Jennifer Guild,Felix Imendörffer, HRB16746(AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 740 53-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: zypp-devel+owner@opensuse.org

I don't see a sane way to implement "--from-repo".

I wonder how this is different from "disable repo" ?

Agreed, there's no way to find the originating repo from the information in the rpm database. zypper could do it by itself from the information stored in the history log.

- You can give a package pattern '--repo <repo> 'kernel*' to restrict the set. - '--repo <repo> '*' is similar to disabling the repo. The difference is that disabled repos are not loaded and do not consume any memory, OTOH their packages are not visible to the solver and for queries.

Using 'solvable_identical' should be good enough. We use it in other locations as well and it works fine.

No, the repo may have changed already, like with a build service repo or factory. M. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: zypp-devel+owner@opensuse.org

For this we also have the history - still not 100% reliable, but also the only info we have after having deleted repos. Basically we could even offer lock all packages installed from repo 'cool' I deleted 3 month ago (provided it was installed by zypp and no one removed the history) -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Development, ma@suse.de GF:Jeff Hawn,Jennifer Guild,Felix Imendörffer, HRB16746(AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 740 53-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: zypp-devel+owner@opensuse.org
