'content' is for libzypp (to define the 'product' resolvable) 3. suse_register (resp. NCC) needs the product identification (like openSUSE 10.2) 4. suse_register (resp. NCC) needs the product distribution (CD, DVD, ftp, ...) since they have different sets of packages (DVD distro has more packages than CD distro) So my comments (see comment #4 above) are wrong since registration added additional constraints which were not present in the past. We (ro and kkaempf) discussed how to fulfill the above (1. - 4.) listed requirements with minimal changes to the code (installation freeze): - 2. does not prescribe the name of the 'product' resolvable but only what the resolvable provides. E.g. all openSUSE-10.2 distributions (be it CD, DVD, ftp, ...) have to provide "product:opensuse = 10.2" - suse_register looks at the name of the product resolvable - ncc needs the distribution information (cd, dvd, ftp, ...) It looks like we can fulfill these requirement by a small change: - use DISTPRODUCT,DISTVERSION to create the product resolvable - have this resolvable provide PRODUCT = VERSION -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
