I have 2 questions for libzypp and the zypper commandline tool:

the vendor check feature of libzypp.

None that i know of. CCing to zypp-devel mailing list.

We can have a zypp.conf option for this. That should not be a big deal.

JFYI: Will be available in libzypp-6.6.0.

Ah, this is great! I have been wanting this for so long. I should have
spoken earlier :-)
Thanks for the replies, and the enlightening thread on zypp-devel list.
