Hello,
The media names on Mageia 1 and Cauldron currently look like this, when
added with urpmi.addmedia --distrib :
Core Release
Core Release Debug
Core Updates
Core Updates Debug
Core Backports
Nonfree Release
Core 32bit Release
Core 32bit Updates
...
I suggest we replace them on Cauldron and later versions with names
like this :
cauldron/x86_64/core/release
cauldron/x86_64/debug/core/release
cauldron/x86_64/core/updates
cauldron/x86_64/debug/core/updates
cauldron/x86_64/core/backports
cauldron/x86_64/nonfree/release
cauldron/i586/core/release
cauldron/i586/core/updates
...
I think it's better because :
- it doesn't have spaces, so doesn't need to be quoted in urpmi command lines
- doesn't have capitals, so easier to type right
- includes version of Mageia, so you can quickly see which version(s)
you're using
- match the paths on the mirrors, so I think it's more clear what the
media is and easier to remember
What do you think ?
