Hello, I am new to this list. Noticed, that all KDE supplementary resources moved to opensuse.org Now I am unable to update my KDE (SuSE 9.3) any more. (was interested in 3.5.3) The solution described at http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/User does not work for 9.3 + YaST. Yast needs the yast-sorurce folder (and it's content) to add a new installation source. How to solve this? BTW: where have the KDE supplementary packages for 9.2 gone? I think, 9.2 is still not discontinued ... Joe

I believe you need to install Smart or Yum now for 9.3 in order to use the repos. I don't agree with the decision to effectively terminate for Yast support in 9.3, but there's not much that can be done about it now I guess. Myself, I will be upgrading my main system to 10.1 in the next few days, so I have delayed upgrading to 3.5.3 until after I upgrade. I have upgraded some test machines to 10.1 and found Yast is broken. Well, not broken, SUSE has changed the backend of Yast to use zen which is definitely broken. It can take zen a minimum of 14 min at 100% CPU thrashing just to start up!!! Completely unacceptable for me - especially on a laptop. The solution has been to install Smart (made by the guys that bring us the Guru repos). Alvin -- Please reply to the list and not my email address. Thank you.

After KDE moved I had a look at smart. Somehow it wasn't able to deal with my set of updates I had done with my 10.1 using apt (kde, gnome, etc.). smart wanted to remove several devel packages. I didn't dig too deep so far but it looked like smart wasn't able to resolve "circular" dependencies, i.e. A-devel was about to be removed as B-devel was to be removed because of C-devel that had to be removed because of A-devel. I installed yum and that worked without problems. I had to install cups-devel first, maybe smart provided that info as well, but "smart upgrade --explain" is almost "unreadable". Still I don't like yum and smart as much as apt, mainly because of the type of information they give to the user (smart seems to be either extremely closed-mouthed or overly talkative). And it seems they don't have as much repositories available to apt. Or maybe I just need to spend more time on those new tools. My 2 cents, Ingo -- "What're quantum mechanics?" "I don't know. People who repair quantums I suppose." --Rincewind, Terry Pratchett "Eric"

There is and never was a correlation between unsupported supplementary packages and the supported security fixes period. Bye, Steve

Thank you for your "kind" reply. In fact it doesn't answer any of my questions :-( Joe --------------------------------------------------------------- Joachim Schönberg PHONE: +49 30 20377 374 Paul-Drude-Institut für FAX: +49 30 20377 201 Festkörperelektronik Berlin MAIL: joe at pdi-berlin.de ----------------------------------------------------------------
