[opensuse-factory] Media for openSUSE 10.2 - additional sources, Idea?
Hi, I noticed an earlier discussion on adding additional sources. And I also find it tedious to add additional sources and I can not get my kids to use openSUSE without them :-) Would it be possible to make a "link" that triggered Yast and added the source when the user manually clicked on it? this is a bit cryptic for the average user. Quote: For openSUSE 10.2 or the Factory tree: Type - rpm-md/repomd Protocol - HTTP Server Name - software.opensuse.org Directory - /download/X11:/XGL/SUSE_Factory If this could be as a link like: <link href="http://exampledomain.no/openSUSE/yast.repo" type="text/yast-source"/> or something similar? I'm sorry if this has been discussed earlier, but I did not find any reference to it. probably a bit late for 10.2 anyway.

Hi, It's a good idea, not only for your kids, because there are a lot of people that try openSUSE for the first time in they're life and don't know how to can see a .mpg file or listen an mp3 with amarok. For me this is a very good idea that give to openSUSE another one reason for consider it a very "simple" distribution. Vincenzo

this is a bit cryptic for the average user.
This has been discussed endlessly.. There can be no links to packman or guru for fear of lawsuits. It's is possible since 10.1 to add repos to both yast and zen-updater without having to split the url into different parts, but by copying in a complete url. You should be happy that now at least the official repos can be added automatically. Finally you might wanna take a look at this, a revised version will be available for 10.2: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=43378 Martin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I understand and accept that. My suggestion was only to make it easier to add the sources yourself. Not to include them by default. The user should need to click on a web link and then that would serve the needed parameters to Yast. I will look at the mentioned script. That seems to be something that can help me.

yes. actually, zypper already supports the .repo files. So, only a desktop file is missing to call it, when you click on a .repo file.
