The .r switch does not show repository info for Mandriva or Mageia distros. The command to see active repositories and their url is:

urpmq --list-media active --list-url

This is not a bug or defect, but a request for enhanced -r support. Each upgrade system has to be built up manually based on datasets/samples from real systems. In this case, since I don't run either distro, I need full outputs from several diverse systems, with different repos used, etc, to construct the additional support for this repository output type.

The issue is accepted but changed from defect to enhancement, but requires attachments for each system, ie, run the command, as regular user, not root: urpmq --list-media active --list-url > system1.txt

then include that as an attachment. Do not paste in the output directly because I need to see all the actual white spaces etc for the output.

Once at least 3 sample files are received, ideally from different systems, with different repositories, that show the possible range the data can have in formatting/syntax, the enhancement can be added to inxi.

obviously, change the file output name for each sample, like sample1.txt, sample2.txt, sample3.txt.

Also, if you can find different release versions of these distros and run the command on them to make sure the output has no variations, and if it does, so support for those can be added.

Here are the files you requested. Four are from various releases of Mageia and one is from an old (2011) version of Mandriva that I have in virtualbox. I does not look like the output of the urpmq command has changed over time. Each line of output has 2 parts; the repo name (which can be more than one word) and the url to that repo. The urls will start with http:// ftp:// file:// or rsync://

I'm not seeing any attached files, am I missing something somewhere?

I had sent them through gmail but I guess they never made it. Hopefully this works.

Nonfree Release (distrib11) http://mirrors.kernel.org/mageia/distrib/3/x86_64/media/nonfree/release

is the: (distrib11) part of that meaningful in terms of the repo information?

By the way, to be clear, the -r method doesn't care about the distro, only the package manager, so it checks a sequence of various package management systems if present, in this case, any distro that uses urpmq will get support when this is enabled.

It might be to some people but it is not to me. It is part of the medium name that is sometimes added by automated programs that can set up the repositories but I don't think it is really necessary. If people set up the media using other tools, they can give them any name they want.

1.9.15 should now in theory support urpmq, unless there's something else wrong, like urpmq sending its output to stdout 2, error, which sometimes happens.

Once you show me some sample output from inxi -r after updating I'll mark this issue completed.

Looks Good!

Ok, issue resolved, inxi enhancement added, checked, and works.

I may have been too hasty when I said everything worked. Apparently some tools to set up repos do not add the "file://" to the url when the repo is on the local filesystem. A url with just a pathname such as /mnt/data/mirrors/mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/media/core/release is also valid. The new version of inxi does not show those repos. Here is some discussion of the problem:

https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=6183&p=40580#p40580

inxi with this type of repo testedfor :// in the line, same as pisi, I added in space/ testing now, 1.9.16.

Hopefully that's it for possible syntaxes of output.

It works but it puts the "url" on the same line as the name. That is different from the repos with "://". See attached.

No version number change, it's fixed, I forgot to update the second regex that slices out the repo url/path

Great! Thanks!

I tightened the regex slightly, no new version number, the last svn commit, ie, upgrade inxi now, will have it.

That avoids some possibly but highly unlikely scenarios with / type paths.
