Suse/YaST support #8

Closed DavidIAm closed 9 years ago

I see you have a module in there for mirroring opensuse/yast type repositories, but your documentation says that YaST is not supported (or doesn't say that it is, at least).

As I am somewhat cornered into using OpenSUSE on a set of servers I want to manage using Rex, and I'll be distributing some custom packages from my own custom repositories, I think helping augment repositorio to enable this support would be the shortest development distance between these points. (I could use YUM support in zypper, I suppose, but... that doesn't seem optimal?)

Please communicate and coordinate with me your feelings on the value of this feature and possible contributions to that goal.

Hi David,

the YaST Type repositories are currently in development for the next version :-)

The master branch is the development branch. I think the mirroring of an OpenSuSE repository should work (at least it downloads things, i haven't had the time to test the mirrored repository with a OpenSuSE system yet).

The goal is to release the next version of repositorio in about 2 or 3 weeks.

Halleljuah. I shall remain tuned and ears pricked.

It took a bit longer, but in the next release 0.7.0 there will be support for mirroring OpenSuSE repositories.

If you create custom repositories, repositorio will create yum style repos for OpenSuSE. Zypper/Yast can handle this style of repositores, so this is no problem and i also don't see any disadvantages (the only one is, that with yum style repos it is not possible to create multi-volume repos, but this counts only for repositories that should be burned on a dvd or cd)

They can be added with the following command:

zypper ar -t YUM http://location/ alias
