http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=984901 Bug ID: 984901 Summary: Documentation bug: Manpage & help don't mention that "zypper mr -n" needs an argument (new name) before the repo identifier Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: All OS: openSUSE 42.1 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp Assignee: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: antoine.mechelynck@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- For other options requiring an argument, this is stated, i.e. -p --priority _positive integer_ -m --medium-type _type_ in the "modifyrepo (mr)" section of the zypper manpage, or -p --priority <integer> -m --medium-type <type> in the "zypper help mr" text. Not so for the -n --name option. So how is the new name specified? Interactively, by zypper asking you a question? No. After the repo identifier? No. Only by specifying the new name immediately after the option, before the repo (existing) name, alias, # or URL, will the desired result be obtained. This is the opposite of what happens for "zypper nr" (zypper renamerepo) where the new alias is specified after the repo's existing alias, name, # or URL. This is understandable since in "zypper nr" the alias is not an option argument but IMHO an explicit mention in the docs would be useful. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
