Bugzilla – Bug 304659
Name isn't used for the Repo Alias for Manually added Repos
Last modified: 2007-08-29 11:11:59 UTC
On installation I selected for the Packman repository to be added (by manually entering the URL), I specified "packman" as the name, but after installation I find that the repository has been named "10.3". 3 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | 10.3 | http://packman.unixheads.com/suse/10.3 The name that the user assigns to the repository during install is the one that should be used, instead, I think.
Francis, did you use zypper or yast2 inst_source for this?
The repository was added before the installation (with the new "Add Additional Media Before Installation" option), which is YaST I guess. I used zypper to display the repository information later though (as above).
YaST logs, please
Sure, http://francis.giannaros.org/files/y2logs.tgz
Lukas, please check if repository names are saved correctly
- Adjusting Add-On's name if set in SourceDialogs when adding it during installation and on a running system (#304659). - yast2-add-on-2.15.13 `yast2 repositories` now correctly display the repository name set by user but zypper still displays '10.3' as a name. Reassigning to jkupec because of the zypper's issue.
fixed the repo list, i will check other occurrences of repo.alias() as well.
On the second thought, zypper should display the alias (short version of 'name') in (most of) the text because it uses it in all repo handling commands. If name would be displayed, user would have to use zypper repos to get the alias of repo number before using some of the repo handling commands which require it. Also the alias as the short version of name is nicer in the zypper output.
