Enhance zypp installer to report file conflicts and to support rpm %posttrans scripts.
an invention by mlandres
This would fix the two 'biggest flaws' in the current software installation workflow. Basic support for detecting file conflicts is already provided by libsolv, but it needs to be integrated into libzypp. In order to support rpm %posttrans behavior, zypp needs to collect these scripts during package installation and execute them at the end of it's transaction.
Teach zypp to query/download/mirror multiarch repos
an idea by mlandres
Zypp offers only those items within a repository, which are 'installable', i.e. 'compatible' with the systems architecture. But there are several use cases, up to mirroring a whole repository, where people would like to query, resolve and download items of foreign architecture without actually installing them. Offering those items in libzypp should be quite easy, but we must also make sure nothing 'stupid' happens if zypper also sees uninstallable items in the pool.
Git like subcommand support for zypper
an idea by mlandres
Add subcommand support for zypper. That is, if 'zypper foo' is not found, look for %{_libexec}/zypper/zypper-foo just like git does. Then those subcommands could be binaries linked to libzypp or just scripts.
Automate zypp translations
an idea by mlandres
There are a couple of scripts and cron jobs on my WS which extract and merge back the zypp translations in the opensuse-i18n repository at svn.opensuse.org. It's overdue to bring this to our Jenkins CI.
Git-like subcommand support for zypper
a record by mlandres
Inspired by gits way of supporting extension commands. The docker team would like to use this to provide a convenient way to patch docker images and running containers.
Add zypper markauto/unmarkauto commands to allow tuning automated cleanup
a project by mlandres
Packages added by the dependency solver in order to resolve a user's request, are marked as having been automatically installed. They may later be removed, if no more manually installed packages depend on them (e.g. by zypper remove --clean-deps). However things may go haywire. Automatically installed packages may turn out to be useful, and you may want to exclude them from any automatic cleanup. And vice versa.
