## Configuration file for software management

## /etc/zypp/zypp.conf

##

## Boolean values are 0 1 yes no on off true false

[main]

##

## Override the detected architecture

##

## Valid values:  i586, i686, x86_64, ppc, ppc64, ia64, s390, s390x, ..

## Default value: Autodetected

##

## ** CAUTION: Only set if you know what you're doing !

## ** Changing this needs a full refresh (incl. download)

## ** of all repository data.

##

# arch = s390

##

## Path where the caches are kept.

##

## Valid values: A directory

## Default value: /var/cache/zypp

##

# cachedir = /var/cache/zypp

##

## Path where the repo metadata is downloaded and kept.

##

## Valid values: A directory

## Default value: {cachedir}/raw

##

## Changing this needs a full refresh (incl. download) of all repository data

##

# metadatadir = /var/cache/zypp/raw

##

## Path where the repo solv files are created and kept.

##

## Valid values: A directory

## Default value: {cachedir}/solv

##

# solvfilesdir = /var/cache/zypp/solv

##

## Path where the repo packages are downloaded and kept.

##

## Valid values: A directory

## Default value: {cachedir}/packages

##

# packagesdir = /var/cache/zypp/packages

##

## Path where the configuration files are kept.

##

## Valid values: A directory

## Default value: /etc/zypp

##

# configdir = /etc/zypp

##

## Path where the known repositories .repo files are kept

##

## Valid values: A directory

## Default value: {configdir}/repos.d

##

## Changing this invalidates all known repositories

##

# reposdir = /etc/zypp/repos.d

##

## Path where the known services .service files are kept

##

## Valid values: A directory

## Default value: {configdir}/services.d

##

## Changing this invalidates all known services

##

# servicesdir = /etc/zypp/services.d

##

## Whether repository urls should be probed when added

##

## Valid values: boolean

## Default value: false

##

## If true, accessability of repositories is checked immediately (when added)

##   (e.g. 'zypper ar' will check immediately)

## If false, accessability of repositories is checked when refreshed

##   (e.g. 'zypper ar' will delay the check until the next refresh)

##

# repo.add.probe = false

##

## Amount of time in minutes that must pass before another refresh.

##

## Valid values: Integer

## Default value: 10

##

## If you have autorefresh enabled for a repository, it is checked for

## up-to-date metadata not more often than every <repo.refresh.delay>

## minutes. If an automatic request for refresh comes before <repo.refresh.delay>

## minutes passed since the last check, the request is ignored.

##

## A value of 0 means the repository will always be checked. To get the oposite

## effect, disable autorefresh for your repositories.

##

## This option has no effect for repositories with autorefresh disabled, nor for

## user-requested refresh.

##

# repo.refresh.delay = 10

##

## Translated package descriptions to download from repos.

##

## A list of locales for which translated package descriptions should

## be downloaded, in case they are availavble and the repo supports this.

## Not all repo formats support downloading specific translations only.

##

## Valid values:  List of locales like 'en', 'en_US'...

## Default value: RequestedLocales

##

## If data for a specific locale are not available, we try to find some

## fallback. Translations for 'en' are always downloaded.

##

# repo.refresh.locales = en, de

##

## Maximum number of concurrent connections to use per transfer

##

## Valid values: Integer

## Default value: 5

##

## This setting is only used if more than one is possible

## Setting it to a reasonable number avoids flooding servers

##

# download.max_concurrent_connections = 5

##

## Sets the minimum download speed (bytes per second)

## until the connection is dropped

## This can be useful to prevent security attacks on hosts by

## providing updates at very low speeds.

##

## 0 means no limit

##

# download.min_download_speed = 0

## Maximum download speed (bytes per second)

## 0 means no limit

# download.max_download_speed = 0

## Number of tries per download which will be

## done without user interaction

## 0 means no limit (use with caution)

# download.max_silent_tries = 5

##

## Maximum time in seconds that you allow a transfer operation to take.

##

## This is useful for preventing your batch jobs from hanging for hours due

## to slow networks or links going down. Limiting operations to less than a

## few minutes risk aborting perfectly normal operations.

##

## Valid values:  [0,3600]

## Default value: 180

##

# download.transfer_timeout = 180

##

## Whether to consider using a .delta.rpm when downloading a package

##

## Valid values: boolean

## Default value: true

##

## Using a delta rpm will decrease the download size for package updates

## since it does not contain all files of the package but only the binary

## diff of changed ones. Recreating the rpm package on the local machine

## is an expensive operation (memory,CPU). If your network connection is

## not too slow, you benefit from disabling .delta.rpm.

##

# download.use_deltarpm = true

##

## Whether to consider using a deltarpm even when rpm is local

##

## Valid values: boolean

## Default value: false

##

## This option has no effect unless download.use_deltarpm is set true.

##

#  download.use_deltarpm.always = false

##

## Hint which media to prefer when installing packages (download vs. CD).

##

## Valid values: 	download, volatile

## Default value:	download

##

## Note that this just a hint. First of all the solver will choose the 'best'

## package according to its repos priority, version and architecture. But if

## there is a choice, we will prefer packages from the desired media.

##

## Packages available locally are always preferred. The question is whether

## you prefer packages being downloaded via FTP/HTTP/HTTPS (download), rather

## than being prompted to insert a CD/DVD (volatile), in case they are available

## on both media.

##

##   Name             | Priority | URI

##   openSUSE-11.1	99	   dvd:///

##   openSUSE-11.1-Oss	99	   http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss

##

## In the above example 2 repositories with similar content are used. Rather

## than raising the priority of one of them to 'prefer' a certain media, you

## should use the same priority for both and set download.media_preference

## instead.

##

## download.media_preference = download

##

## Commit download policy to use as default.

##

##  DownloadOnly,	Just download all packages to the local cache.

##			Do not install. Implies a dry-run.

##

##  DownloadInAdvance,	First download all packages to the local cache.

##			Then start to install.

##

##  DownloadInHeaps,	Similar to DownloadInAdvance, but try to split

##			the transaction into heaps, where at the end of

##			each heap a consistent system state is reached.

##

##  DownloadAsNeeded	Alternating download and install. Packages are

##			cached just to avid CD/DVD hopping. This is the

##			traditional behaviour.

##

##  <UNSET>		If a value is not set, empty or unknown, we pick

##			some sane default.

##

## commit.downloadMode =

##

## Defining directory which contains vendor description files.

##

## One file in this directory reflects a group of equivalent vendors. e.G.:

## (filename is "nvidia" but could be any other name):

## ------------------------- file contains begin -----------------------

## [main]

##

## vendors = nvidia,suse,opensuse

##

## ------------------------- file contains end -----------------------

## Libzypp makes an string comparision (like strncmp, case-insensitive)

## whereas the beginning of the strings are compared only.

## e.G. vendor "opensuse11.0" is compatible to "openSuSE".

##

## Valid values: A directory

## Default value: {configdir}/vendors.d

##

# vendordir = /etc/zypp/vendors.d

##

## Whether required packages are installed ONLY

## So recommended packages, language packages and packages which depend

## on hardware (modalias) will not be regarded.

##

## Valid values: boolean

## Default value: false

##

solver.onlyRequires = true

##

## EXPERTS ONLY: Per default the solver will not replace packages of

## different vendors, unless you explicitly ask to do so. Setting this

## option to TRUE will disable this vendor check (unless the application

## explicitly re-enables it). Packages will then be considered based on

## repository priority and version only. This may easily damage your system.

##

## CHANGING THE DEFAULT IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

##

## Valid values:  boolean

## Default value: false

##

# solver.allowVendorChange = false

##

## EXPERTS ONLY: Cleanup when deleting packages. Whether the solver should

## per default try to remove packages exclusively required by the ones he's

## asked to delete.

##

## This option should be used on a case by case basis, enabled via

## command line options or switches the applications offer. Changing

## the global default on a system where unattended actions are performed,

## may easily damage your system.

##

## CHANGING THE DEFAULT IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

##

## Valid values:  boolean

## Default value: false

##

# solver.cleandepsOnRemove = false

##

## This file contains requirements/conflicts which fulfill the

## needs of a running system.

## For example the system would be broken if not glibc or kernel is

## installed.

## So the user will be informed if these packages will be deleted.

##

## Format: Each line represents one dependency:

##         e.g.

##         requires:kernel

##         requires:glibc

## Default value: {configdir}/systemCheck

##

# solver.checkSystemFile = /etc/zypp/systemCheck

##

## When committing a dist upgrade (e.g. 'zypper dup') a solver testcase

## is written to /var/log/updateTestcase-<date>. It is needed in bugreports.

## This option returns the number of testcases to keep on the system. Old

## cases will be deleted, as new ones are created.

##

## Use 0 to write no testcase at all, or -1 to keep all testcases.

##

## Valid values:	Integer

## Default value:	2

##

# solver.upgradeTestcasesToKeep = 2

##

## Whether dist upgrade should remove a products dropped packages.

##

## A new product may suggest a list of old and no longer supported

## packages (dropped packages). Performing a dist upgrade the solver

## may try to delete them, even if they do not cause any dependency

## problem.

##

## Turning this option off, the solver will not try to remove those

## packages unless they actually do cause dependency trouble. You may

## do the cleanup manually, or simply leave them installed as long

## as you don't need the disk space.

##

## Valid values:	Boolean

## Default value:	true

##

# solver.upgradeRemoveDroppedPackages = true

##

## Packages which can be installed in different versions at the same time.

##

## Packages are selected either by name, or by provides. In the later case

## the string must start with "provides:" immediately followed by the capability.

##

## Example:

##	kernel				- just packages whith name 'kernel'

##	provides:multiversion(kernel)   - all packages providing 'multiversion(kernel)'

##					  (kenel and kmp packages should do this)

## Valid values:

##	Comma separated list of packages.

##

## Default value:

##	empty

##

multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel)

##

## Defining directory which may contain additional multiversion definitions.

##

## If the directory exists, each file in this directory is scanned, expecting

## one valid multiversion list entry per line. Empty lines and lines starting

## with '#' are ignored.

## ------------------------- [/etc/zypp/multiversion.d/example file begin] -----------------------

## # An alternate way to enable kernel packages being

## # installed in parallel:

##

## provides:multiversion(kernel)

## ------------------------- [/etc/zypp/multiversion.d/example file end] -----------------------

##

## Valid values: A directory

## Default value: {configdir}/multiversion.d

##

# multiversiondir = /etc/zypp/multiversion.d

## Comma separated list of kernel packages to keep installed in parallel, if the

## above multiversion variable is set. Packages can be specified as

## 2.6.32.12-0.7 - Exact version to keep

## latest        - Keep kernel with the highest version number

## latest-N      - Keep kernel with the Nth highest version number

## running       - Keep the running kernel

## oldest        - Keep kernel with the lowest version number (the GA kernel)

## oldest+N      - Keep kernel with the Nth lowest version number

##

## Note: This entry is not evaluated by libzypp, but by the

##       purge-kernels service (via /sbin/purge-kernels).

##

## Default: Do not delete any kernels if multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel) is set

multiversion.kernels = latest,latest-1,running

##

## Path to locks file. If not exist then is create.

## In this file is saved also UI locks.

##

## valid value: path to file or place where file can be created

## default value: {configdir}/locks

##

# locksfile.path = /etc/zypp/locks

##

## Whether to apply locks in locks file after zypp start.

##

## Valid values: boolean

## Default value: true

##

# locksfile.apply = true

##

## Where update items are stored

## (example: scripts, messages)

##

## Valid values: path to directory

## Default value: /var/adm

##

# update.datadir = /var/adm

##

## Where update messages are stored

##

## Valid values: path to directory

## Default value: {update.datadir}/update-messages

##

# update.messagesdir = /var/adm/update-messages

##

## Where update scripts are stored

##

## Valid values: path to directory

## Default value: {update.datadir}/update-scripts

##

# update.scriptsdir = /var/adm/update-scripts

##

## Command to be invoked to send update messages.

##

## Packages may leave an update message file in {update.messagesdir}.

## At the end of each commit, zypp collects those messages and may send

## a notification to the user.

##

## zypp will prepare the update messages according to the selected

## content format and pipe the content to the command.

##

## Format:

##     single - For each update message invoke the command and send

##              the message.

##     none   - For each update message invoke the command but don't

##              use a pipe to send any data. You probably want to pass

##              the message file on the commandline using %P (see

##              Substitutions).

##     digest - Single invocation of the command, sending the path

##              names of all update message. One per line.

##     bulk   - Single invocation of the command, sending the

##              concatenated content of all update messages, separated

##              by Ctrl-L.

##

## Substitutions:

##     %p     - package identification (name-version-release.arch)

##     %P     - full path to the update message file

##

## Valid values: The value is specified as "format | command".

##               An empty value will turn off any notification.

##

## Examples:     single | mail -s 'Update message from %p' root

##               none   | my-send-script -f %P

##

## Default value: single | /usr/lib/zypp/notify-message -p %p

##

# update.messages.notify = single | /usr/lib/zypp/notify-message -p %p

##

## Options for package installation: excludedocs

##

## Don't install any files which are marked as documentation.

##

## Valid values:  boolean

## Default value: no

##

rpm.install.excludedocs = yes

##

## Location of history log file.

##

## The history log is described at

## http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Package_History

##

## Valid values: absolute path to a file

## Default value: /var/log/zypp/history

##

# history.logfile = /var/log/zypp/history

##

## Global credentials directory path.

##

## If a URL contains ?credentials=<filename> parameter, the credentials will

## be stored and looked for in a file named <filename> in this directory.

##

## Valid values: absolute path to a directory

## Default value: /etc/zypp/credentials.d

##

# credentials.global.dir = /etc/zypp/credentials.d

##

## Global credentials catalog file path.

##

## This file contains a catalog of all known user credentials which were

## not stored via the ?credentials=<filename> URL parameter, i.e. passed

## in URL as username:password component, or entered by user in

## an authentication dialog.

##

## Valid values: absolute path to a file

## Default value: /etc/zypp/credentials.cat

##

# credentials.global.file = /etc/zypp/credentials.cat
