Feature changed by: Tomáš Chvátal (scarabeus_iv) Feature #314641, revision 10 Title: prevent newbies from adding wrong repos - openSUSE Distribution: New + openSUSE Distribution: Done Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Walter Schlueter (trekkie00) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When thinking of a way how to prevent new users from adding dangerous repos (wrong version or factory) it came to my mind that it would be quite easy to do this. When adding the repo it should be easy to search alias, name and url for words which do not correspond with the version currently in use. For example for openSUSE 12.2 these expressions could be 11.4, 12.1, factory and so on. To allow advanced users to use these repos one could add an option where this flag can be changed. For example a parameter called allow_blacklist. Whether the value of this parameter ist set to 0 or 1 one is allowed to add these repos or not. + Discussion: + #1: Tomáš Chvátal (scarabeus_iv) (2017-06-09 13:03:46) + Board and openSUSE project is now introducing incubator projects where + users will be steered towards safer repositories by default explaining + all the risks they are taking by adding them. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314641
