We discussed to extend yum repos to support links to other repos as well. This means you add the amarok4 repo for example and this implicit
adds
also the KDE4 repo. When you remove amarok4 repo, the KDE4 repo disappears
as
well. But this would be an extension to the current yum/rpm-md
which
needs to be discussed (and proposed in a valid way) on the yum ml.
I would be happy if someone could spend some time on this issue
:)
don't misunderstand me: I like the split in this cattegory, and
I
think
it's important, but it would also be very interesting to have
format the
possibility to subscribe only to one Repository (technically, it
IS
possible... remains just the question, if it can be implemented on
the
Build Service).
Adrian, do you know if there is already something going on in this direction?
I do not think so.
If not, I could try to work out something on the yum ml, trying to feel if such a thing would be completely new idea or how far something alike is already developed there.
That would be great :)
bye adrian
Adrian, The people from YUM ML are more than unwilling to implement any new things inside YUM, they already claim it to be much to complicated :-) BUT: a solution came up, which is already implemented and based on the .repo files: Such a file CAN contain more than one Repository including all infos, like: [channelName] name=A sample repository baseurl=http://..../BinaryRepo/OS/Version gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=..... enabled=1 [channelName-data] name=A sample data repository baseurl=http://..../DataRepo/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=..... enabled=1 By adding the .repo file, both Repos would be added. This means, that we should try more to push the usage of these .repo files than subscribing directly to a channel. Do you know: can these repo files already be understood by rug/zmd/libzypp/yast ? Maybe a small enhancement on them, that when adding a repository they look for *.repo and interpred them (in case only a URL, without a .repo is given) And then one question for UFO:AI: I would like to move that one to Games:Strategy:turn-based (which has not been done due to this data-sharing problem). Can the Build-Server be configured to have a games:data repository and add that one as a 2nd repository in the .repo file of at least games:strategy:turn-based? Probably it could suite other games as well: I think Wesnoth, Torcs and so on also have unified DATA Files all over the repositories. So this one could be added to all games:* repos.
