Hi there, i'm finally back :O) The situation goes like this:
- rug's service-* command were just aliases for the *repo commands of zypper until 11.0 - now that zypper is getting support for services, new *service commands have been added, and the rug's service-* commands are now aliases for these new commands.
Why's there a different interface? Can't zypper just use the repo command set and use type "service" for a service?
Because it's quite different thing - it's a repository index, which serves for auto-managing repositories on your machine - it's one level higher in the repo management. You can't e.g. specify a service as the --repo (well, that could be transformed into individual repos), you still need two different command for listing services and listing repos (standalone and the ones from services), and you still need to manipulate both the services, and the repos they contain, which you can't do using one command set (how would you e.g. disable a repository within a service?). Comments are welcome, we still have time to change this. jano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
