Community Repos in Myrlyn on Leap 16.0

As you might have noticed, the Myrlyn version 0.9.7 released with Leap 16.0 does not yet have community repos like PackMan, NVidia, Open H.264, LibDvdCss: Those repos did not exist yet on the (mostly non-SUSE) servers that host them.

After those repos were created and published in the servers, I added them to Myrlyn (v 0.9.9) with them, but so far I was unable to release that version for Leap 16.0 because the discussion and work around Leap 16.0 updates has still been ongoing.

This bug also contains a workaround to install the newer version from the OBS packagemanager repo for those who are interested:

wget https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/packagemanager/16.0/x86_64/myrlyn-0.9.9-lp160.1.1.x86_64.rpm

sudo rpm -Uhv ./myrlyn-0.9.9*.rpm

Please notice that this is a temporary workaround; it simply downloads one specific version and installs it without adding that repo. Once it’s in the official Leap 16.0 update repos, please use the one from there.

It is provided by the standard repository service.

OK, thanks; good to know. So I’ll remove it from the Leap 16.x standard community repos.

Does anybody know about LibDvdCss? Is there one for 16.0?

BTW, speaking about repository services - I do not see any way to add/manage them in myrlyn. Is it intentional?

There is a tab similar to the “Repositories” tab if there are any services (or if you start Myrlyn with the --force-service-view command line option, but so far there is nothing to add/edit/remove a service.

When it became obvious that Leap 16.0 would have a RIS, I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to basically replicate the whole repos management, and I decided against it: I don’t think any openSUSE distro will ever have more than one RIS, and if it has one, you will probably want to stick with it.

For those who really need it, there is still zypper. But this is a much more uncommon operation than managing repos IMHO. I don’t see a use case.
