: A solution worth to explore is to start using variables like $releasever in the .repo files.
So repos with 11.1 would automaitcally be 11.2 afterwards. Of course still there is the need to check that those repos are valid.
Another possibility would be on upgrade to check for a file in each repository that would provide the URI of the equivalent repository in the new distro version.
This could allow the repository publisher to provide an upgrade path for their repository without being tied to a specific URI format, moving to alternative locations, consolodation of multiple repositories into one and so on.
Doesn't Fedora store the .repo file in a package, so updating a package updates the repo config? Stano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
