zypper_repository: Add option to add multiple repo urls

kristofkessler commented 2 years ago

Summary

I want to add more than one baseurl to a repository configuration to have a fallback repository-url in case the first one fails.

This SUSE Knowledgebase entry describes what I want to accomplish: https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=000019926

I tried:

- { name: 'openSUSE-Leap-15.3-Devel-Tools-Building' , repo: 'https://rsync.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools/15.3 https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools/15.3' }

which results in:

baseurl=https://rsync.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools/15.3%20https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools/15.3

The blank space between the urls is url encoded, which makes sense as only one url is expected in repo and could be necessary in other url cases. So at the moment I can only do this via workarounds and replace %20 with a blank by looping through the repo configuration files.

Additional Information

Would it be possible to add a feature in which repo can either hold a string or an array of strings. If it has an array of strings, then for each of the strings a line with "baseurl = repo_url" is written into the repo configuration file?

It could work like this:

defining a zypper repository with repo containing an array of strings:

- block:
  - name: Setup zypper repos (OpenSUSE 15.3 development)
    zypper_repository:
      name: "{{ item.name }}"
      repo: "{{ item.repo }}"
      priority: 90
      runrefresh: no
      disable_gpg_check: yes
    loop:
      - { name: 'openSUSE-Leap-15.3-Devel-Tools-Building' , repo: ['https://rsync.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools/15.3 ', 'https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools/15.3'] }

resulting /etc/zypp/repos.d/openSUSE-Leap-15.3-Devel-Tools-Building.repo

[openSUSE-Leap-15.3-Devel-Tools-Building]
enabled=1
autorefresh=1
baseurl=https://rsync.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools/15.3
baseurl=https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools/15.3
priority=90
