inst sources

[Peter Czanik]

Hello,

I just finished installing the latest factory on PPC. I wanted to
install some non-oss apps, like Opera, but I could not find them in
sw_single, even after verifying, that it exists in the repo. Then I
realized, that the x86 repositories were added automagically, even on
PPC, that's why I could not find Opera & co.

linux:~ # LANG=en_US zypper -v sl -u

3 | repo-debug | openSUSE-11.1-Debug | No | Yes |
NONE | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/debug/
4 | repo-non-oss | openSUSE-11.1-Non-Oss | Yes | Yes |
yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/non-oss/
5 | repo-oss | openSUSE-11.1-Oss | Yes | Yes |
yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/

Automatically adding x86 sources does more harm than good IMHO, so it
should be removed or fixed on PPC. Should I also enter this to bugzilla?

Bye,

Yeah, do so. Not sure we can fix it before GM though

There should be also PPC packages (at least 11.0-oss-repo contains both x86 and
PPC packages), I guess that the PPC arch is not built/mirrored?
