--- Comment #5 from Ján Kupec
Ad 'zypper repos' - there's also 'zypper help repos' which would point you to -d or -u options.
First that's totally unclear from the manpage
What is unclear about this: there's a 'Repository Management' section and there's repos command: repos (lr) [options] List all defined repositories. The following data are printed for each repository found: # (repository number), Enabled (whether the repository is enabled), Refresh (whether auto-refresh is enabled for the repository), Type (rpm-md, yast2, plaindir), Alias (shorthand for Name), and Name. Other columns can be added using the options listed below. <cut/> -u, --uri Add base URI column to the output. -p, --priority Add repository priority column to the output. There are even examples below: Examples: Backup your repository setup: $ zypper repos -e myreposbackup.repo List repositories with their URIs and priorities: $ zypper lr -pu I really don't know how to make it clearer. Suggest something. Statements like "that's totally unclear from the manpage" won't help us to make it better for you.
(which generally seems get worse each release, with more strange concepts getting added like "services" where it is unclear what the difference is to a repository)
Services Services are one level above repositories and serve to manage repositories or to do some special tasks. Libzypp currently supports only one type of services, the Repository Index Ser- vice (RIS). Repository Index Service (RIS) is a special type of repository which contains a list of other repositories. What is unclear about this? And what exactly is it that makes the man page worse each release? Need to know, otherwise the trend will continue, since i think it's getting better :O)))
What would have been useful if the updater had named the cd source it added behind my back "opensuse 11.1 DVD" or something like that.
Agreed. And how was it actually named?
And also if there are multiple sources which are the same list the urls by default to distingush them?
I'd say no. At least the 'alias' is always unique, but apart from that, adding the URL column based on the data (not user's request) might be confusing. -- 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.
