Description Dirk Stoecker 2023-06-09 08:43:33 UTC

When calling zypper with a repo file in the commandline the $releasever variable doesn't get expanded (unlike for other URLs).

# zypper ar -f 'https://update.gnssonline.eu/$releasever/update.gnssonline.eu.repo'
Datei '/$releasever/update.gnssonline.eu.repo' auf Medium 'https://update.gnssonline.eu/' nicht gefunden
Abbrechen, wiederholen, ignorieren? [a/w/i/...? zeigt alle Optionen] (a):

On the server also the file is accessed with $releasever inside instead of the expanded version

Comment 1 Andreas Stieger 2023-06-09 10:54:36 UTC

man 8 zypper:

Remember to protect the $ when using these variables on a shell command line:
  zypper ar -f http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/\$releasever packman

If a variable is followed by an alphanumeric character or underscore it needs to be enclosed in {}:
  zypper ar -f http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/\${releasever}_packman

Comment 2 Andreas Stieger 2023-06-09 11:17:43 UTC

I have have been too fast. Works for repository URLs but not .repo meta-URLs. Maybe you want to put it into a .service?

Comment 3 Dirk Stoecker 2023-06-12 06:01:42 UTC

That's what the ticket says: It does not work with an repo file URL passed in the commandline as also shown in the example. I know that it works with a repo URL and name as arguments.

Comment 4 Andreas Stieger 2023-06-12 06:12:37 UTC

This may not have been intended to work for .repo files

Comment 5 Dirk Stoecker 2023-06-12 06:18:39 UTC

In case you need a motivation: That's necessary when writing tutorials or installation descriptions for setups. Otherwise tutorial needs to be modified each time a new version is released.

That's also the reason why I discovered it. We made a tutorial for a customer.

Supporting it for one style of URL and not the other is unlogical (I assume these two URls go through totally different code parts, but nevertheless the UI is bad as it is).

Comment 6 Michael Andres 2023-12-14 16:02:25 UTC

Fixed in libzypp-17.31.26 (will go to TW/ALP and SLE/Leap 15.1+)

Yes: different code paths. Variable replacement is no property of the URL class itself. It's well defined which URLs are subject to variable replacement and it needs to be explicitly enabled.
