I'm a bit late with answer. It was written an hour ago, before lunch, but it adds more info, so here it is:

/home/RPM/ can be added, but it has to contain metadata about packages. The way I use is to run program 'createrepo' in that directory which will create subdirectory 'repodata' and than add /home/RPM/ to package sources.

With this procedure YaST etc, will complain that packages are not signed, but you can tell to use them anyway.

Second deficiency of this method is that you have to run 'createrepo' on every change otherwise YaST or 'zypper refresh' will not find any changes you made, ie. will not find new packages or complain about missing packages.

Aha. I presume the 2th defciency will be corrected? Not that it matters to me to do things more than nessesary, but just to know that progression will happen. ;-) We all know that it is very inconvenient not being able to test pkgs, other than those in the original repos.

How to specify such a directory than? I do not mind to move the rpm's to another directory, or change the name... but this is not very obvious, if you ask me?

You missed the "." (ie. current directory) in the original suggestion?

cd /home/dir createrepo .

But I STILL dont understand why you can't add folder with some RPM's in as a 'plain' RPM directory (rather than RPM meta-data one)? I do it that way in both yast software and smart on 10.3. Though I'm not sure if yast handles sub-directories whereas I believe smart does.

Sorry to hear you are having such troubles with this! Maybe the factory software management is quite different now to 10.3? Anyway, for me too "Install Software" right-click option fails. It asks for password, reads the RPM database then just craps out and disappears. However, I _can_ successfully install by going via "Preview in KRPMView" right-click option, and then choosing "Install Package with YaST". This works perfectly. Also came across this wiki about creating a repos: http://en.opensuse.org/Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources Best of luck!

The command above will work without creating a repository. It will scan a directory for RPMs in it, generate metadata on-fly (during libzypp start).

What does that mean, that i have to restart lybzypp, before it is visible as a repo?

Yes, you've created a repository with metadata. My command specifically said libzypp to avoid autodetection of the repository type and go for plaindir repo.

No. It means that if you have a directory containing just RPMs, libzypp needs to figure out some details during each start by examining those RPMs.

Well in gui, when in Software management screen, you can click on the package then select "versions" tab and choose which version you want to use.

With zypper you can do it too - from man page:

install (in) [options] --capability <capability> ... Install or update packages or other resolvables.

The resolvables can be selected by their name or by a capability they provide.

Capability is: NAME, or "NAME[OP<EDITION>]", where OP is <, <=, =, >=, or > and EDITION is VERSION[-RELEASE], for example: zyp‐ per=0.8.8-2.

The NAME component of a capability is not only a package name but any symbol provided by packages: /bin/vi, libcurl.so.3, perl(Time::ParseDate). Just remember to quote to protect the special characters from the shell, for example: zypper\>0.8.10 or 'zypper>0.8.10'

If EDITION is not specified, the newest available version will be installed. This also means that if the package is already installed and newer versions are available, it will get upgraded to the newest one.

This is typically obtuse man-page-speak to this simple user (gives me a headache!) but suggests you can select which version, provided you can unravel this explanation.
