After
zypper ar -cfp 90 'https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/' packman
the zypper lr column GPG Check shows ( p) Yes but, on 2 other systems where it was added as part of installing OBS Studio it’s (r ) Yes and working well so seems likely that’s the way it should be, tho i don’t recall using “ar” to add it. What’s the right way to do it?
@gregrwm Hi, ar is short for addrepo so it’s correct…
Yes indeed but on both my other 2 systems, whle my bash history shows me the addrepo command i used for the twotaps:mediatools.repo for OBS Studio, there’s neither an ar nor addrepo command for packman, and correspondingly each /var/log/zypp/history shows a radd line for home_twotaps_mediatools but none for packman, so it looks like on both systems packman got added some other way, iirc somehow as part of installing OBS Studio. And when i use the ar command shown above the GPG setup isn’t the same as all my other repos here, as detailed above, hence i’m asking the “proper” way to install the packman repo.
There a different ways to add a repository with different flags for autorefresh, GPG check, priority and many others.
You should start to study the man pages of zypper when you want to know what as example the -cfp 90 means. There is also mentioned what the difference of p and r in the GPG check column means…
But as already said by Malcolm, the codeline you mentioned in your first post is from the SDB and correct.
i have 2 tumbleweeds here on which i’ve installed OBS Studio. Part of the OBS install process was to install “opi” and run “opi codecs”, during which apparently opi added the packman repo in some manner such that no “radd” line appears in /var/log/zypp/history for pacman, and, according to “zypper lr”, such that packman’s GPG settings match all the rest of my repos that were installed by the tumbleweed installer.
i’m curious why the SDB recommendation differs from both how “opi” added the packman repo, and from how all the rest of my repos were installed by the tumbleweed installer, especially given that the tumbleweed installer and opi appear to be in agreement with each other, and different from what SDB recommends.
And i’m curious what GPG information can generally be expected for packages both from packman and all the other standard repos. Clearly metadata GPG checking is working fine for all packages installed here both from packman and the other repos. Yet it appears that the SDB is recommending GPG checking not for metadata, and for package content instead. Will that work? if so, should we presume that GPG checking can be expected to be generally available for both metadata and package content? And if so, why are we not recommended and setup by the installer to check both metadata and package content?
the resolution to this is just after adding a repo as in the OP the “lr” gpg column showed ( p) iirc until the first “ref”, but either then or later becomes (r ) like the other repos, and there appears to be no way nor need to tweak gpg checking other than to enable it.
