Hi,

I'm using libzypp / libzypp-bindings-python to query packages available in an http-rpmmd-repo.
I started with
initializeTarget(zypp.Pathname("/tmp/a"))
created my repoinfo, but then
mymanager.addRepository(myrepoinfo)
fails because it wants to write to /etc/zypp. How can I change this behaviour ? AFAIK /etc/zypp is stored in configPath. But found no "setConfigPath". Did I miss something? Or is this not possible with libzypp ?
Create a new zypp.conf (replace at least configdir with a user-writable dir). Point the zypp apps to your own zypp.conf with the ZYPP_CONF environment variable:
% ZYPP_CONF=/tmp/zypp.conf build-dir/myapp
Without a new ZYPP_CONF: Besides /etc/zypp/repos.d, the repomanager may also want to download metadata, create solv files, etc... You can redirect the repomanager to use a different root directory: rootdir = zypp.Pathname("/tmp/a") repoManagerOptions = zypp.RepoManagerOptions( rootdir ) mymanager = zypp.RepoManager( repoManagerOptions ) -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres YaST Development ma@novell.com SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 740 53-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
