One of the things Revisor assumes when forcibly enabling source repositories is that we can just append "-source" to whatever other enabled (non-source) repository (using the 'id' of course). It somewhat makes sense to require to append -source to a repositories name to indicate it's the repositories source equivalent, doesn't it? Technically though, one would want to be able to distinct a source repo from a non-source repo as obviously like you said they could be named anything. This makes me wonder if we /really/ need some directive that says the repo is a source repo, or whether we could just figure it out on our own and do something intelligent with it. Like, we could initially only _getSacks for the RPM compat arch list (minus src). Then when we want source, _getSacks for the src arch. Maybe ;-) This however would require that the user enables the source repositories initially if he/she/it wants the sources to be pulled in, and we neglect that we could be better off by appending -source to indicate it's a source repo equivalent... I'm not sure what is the best way to go here; specify 'source' somewhere manually -which you do with appending -source to the repos id anyway-, or detect automatically -in which case you would want -source appended but you don't really need it. Any thoughts on this? Kind regards, Jeroen van Meeuwen -kanarip -- Fedora-livecd-list mailing list Fedora-livecd-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-livecd-list
