But your script does not know about the ID. It will know after fetching available packages. Then you should be adding some logic to your script in order to find out what exactly ID you need to use. And only then you use this ID. But that is like remembering ICQ account numbers or IP addresses, instead of having Jabber's e-mail or DNS. When you are are an admin, you *already* know nevra and channel. > Moreover it's volatile (someone can remove package from the channel) while > id is immutable. If somebody removed the package from the channel and still is trying to install it, then it is a process issue, and probably in THIS case it is actually is a bad idea to install the package, since somebody removed it on purpose. Actually, thanks for the nice tip: in order to keep the package in the DB but prevent it automatically installed by peripheral scripts on particular channel, simply remove the package from the channel! :) -- Bo Maryniuk SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer Assassins Inc.
