Yes, sorry from me for that part, but cdrom or local mirror (or copy) of cdrom use a lot of hdlist (so a lot of media) which is complicated by hand for each of them, and using a local or cdrom device, it is problably easier to get the full hdlist support (for urpmf). Adding cooker directly using network interface was at least the same of adding cooker or contrib by hand, and some people don't want contrib but only cooker so --distrib is *always* defaulting to hdlist instead of synthesis, whereas -h flag is prefering the synthesis all the time instead of hdlist (since -h may be more usefull with network access ?). > A shortest way to add entire distrib download source with > synthesis.hdlist files would help by the way. So I will add a flag to prefer synthesis or hdlist... François.
