One-click adds a second official(?) 13.2 distro/update repo?

English Install/Boot/Login

There’s an issue with editing cells in subtitleeditor that requires a patch. I usually install from achaios repo, but it’s version is not patched.

So I tried the other option in software search, X0F repo. However, while achaios one-click install only install one repo, X0F install these:

:~> zypper lr

16 | openSUSE:13.2:Update          | openSUSE:13.2:Update                | Sim        | Sim      
17 | openSUSE_13.2-0               | openSUSE 13.2-0                     | Sim        | Não

Which in itself is already curious - so many repos.

My concern is, why is there a second update repo, and what appear to be a -oss repo?
Different URLs for these are already part of the standard install:


23 | repo-oss                      | openSUSE-13.2-Oss                   | Sim        | Sim      
25 | repo-update                   | openSUSE-13.2-Update                | Sim        | Sim

Obviously, I removed the other repos on the list that are not relevant to this issue.

Small correction: repo 17 is the DVD ISO image.

The full URL for repo 16: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/13.2:/Update/standard/
One click also listed http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/13.2:/standard/ but checkbox was not ticked, so this repo wasn’t added.

The installation for repo 25 above is: http://download.opensuse.org/update/13.2/

You can remove both. Those are the repos where the packages are built before they are copied to the official repos.

They have been added because that repo where you installed a package from is set up that way.
But again, you don’t need them, as you have the official repos anyway.

PS: Next time better use “zypper lr -d”. This would include the URL as well in the output. The name doesn’t tell anything.

Hmm, a bit more diligence and I’d have answered myself.

The update URL link to the standard update repo, so it’s probably a hidden soflink or something that don’t show up in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/

The other URL goes nowhere, error 404.

Why are they even required by one-click, thou?

Hi wolfi, we cross-posted.

Thanks for the explanation, it’s clear now. I was being a bit paranoid, I think.

I knew there was a way to list the URLs as I’ve seen it in other posts, but zypper --help don’t list it. I tried with -v, but no joy. That’s why I posted again with the full URLs.

Anyway, thanks for the tip, I’ll keep it in mind - or probably forget it next time I have to use a terminal… That’s where a GUI show it’s value. It’s slow, but faster than a terminal for a infrequent, forgetful terminal user like me. :slight_smile:

Yes, it’s actually a server-side redirection.

The other URL goes nowhere, error 404.

Because the URL is wrong.
It should probably be http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/13.2/standard/ , without the second ‘:’…

Why are they even required by one-click, thou?

They are not “required”.
But that repo builds against those two repos, that’s why the 1-click wants to add them.
It’s just a wrong repo setup (on OBS) in the end. (well, not exactly wrong, but let’s call it “unusual”…)

But “zypper lr --help” does list it, and other available options. :wink:

That’s the general usage of zypper.
Run “zypper command --help” to get extensive help for that particular command… “zypper --help” only shows the general options and available commands.

It would be better if you just posted the output of “zypper lr
–details”, and did so inside a code tags block. As it is, I can’t read
it in this post, nor figure it out in the previous post or this one, sorry.

The --help option normaly only shows some short reminders on how to use a tool. When that is not enough the man page may give you all. In this case:

man zypper

There are so many options that they split it. You get the general help
via “zypper --help”, and then you can get more help on each listed
option via “zypper whatever --help”.

I know this, but I don’t see this been told in the initial “help”. :-?

Then, there is the generalized “zypper --verbose command”, and also
there is the particular “zypper command --verbose”, with different
behaviour. In the case of “zypper lr” the second version is not
“–verbose” but “–details”.

It is a complicated command… command line is complicated, but we get
used to it. The command line complexity is increased by the fact that
each programmer does it differently. The standardization comes from all
Linux programmers using the same library to parse command line options :slight_smile:

It is.

The last line of “zypper --help” is this:

Type 'zypper help <command>' to get command-specific help.

“zypper help <command>” is exactly the same as “zypper <command> --help”.

LOL. I knew it should be there, but I couldn’t find it :slight_smile:
