Isn't it possible to specify the repository now? I thought the package bindings were upgraded that way? (please correct me if I'm wrong)
Yes, I have added Pkg::ResolvableInstallRepo() function which explicitly installs selected resolvable (package) from the specified repository. It has been added specially for 1-click installer.
Off-topic, but it would be a great addition also to zypper. The "--repo" option from "zypper install" is... counterintuitive, at least the one from openSUSE 11.0. You would expect it to install the selected packages from the selected repo... *without* disabling other repos. All repos (OBS, Packman...) depend on the official one (OSS), so a "zypper install -r packman <package>" can easily return a (stupid) dependency error because it isn't searching dependencies in OSS. In http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/zypp/trunk/zypper/doc/TODO it is said: "+ zypper up --some-option repofoo (like 'rug up repo'?) - update packages from specified repos without disabling the others"... so I suppose you already know about this and I haven't opened a bug report for zypper in... should I? In my opinion a new option isn't needed, but "--repo" behavior should be changed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+help@opensuse.org
