RE: [suse-kde] KDE 3.4.1 released
I haven't used apt on SuSE yet, only on Debian, so this question might just be for my own edification, do you still have to run "apt-get update" to retrieve an updated list of packages? -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Eckl [mailto:daniel.eckl@gmx.de] Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2005 1:25 PM To: suse-kde@suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-kde] KDE 3.4.1 released Am Dienstag, 31.

I guess I will wait for the mirroring to happen.
Heu, they must be there. That freshrpms page is made from the contents of the directories...
Strange. I can see them all, but apt update doesn't get file lists which contains these files. I have (beside others) the repositories: suser-rbos kde kde-unstable Greets, Daniel

yes, that's inherent to apt ;) But on suse you can use in most cases 'apt' instead of apt-get, apt-cache, apt-config, etc. - apt update - apt install - apt search - apt dump etc -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
I don't know the "real" apt from debian, only the (wonderful) apt-rpm wrapper for suse. There I have to run apt update to get the actual file lists. I cannot imagine how that should work without update command on debian, though... Perhaps an apt upgrade does imply an apt update. But if offline or on slow modem line, perhaps I do not want this, so I am happy to be able to choose when to update my file lists. Best, Daniel Am Dienstag, 31. Mai 2005 22:28 schrieb Black, Alain:

Yes, or you can use synaptic as well.

You better make that plural. And you better have high-speed internet access, 'cause it's hundreds of megabytes. I personally stick with YaST and YOU for SuSE-supplied updates. The mirrors now have or will soon have the full complement of KDE 3.4.1 packages in the "supplementary" releases section. E.g.: Server Name: mirror.mcs.anl.gov Directory on Server: "pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.3/yast-source/" This is a good mirror for users in North America.
Thanks

I would be happy to stick to Yast too, if it worked. The problem is that I simply can't find yast sources for all of the other packages that come on the cd's, nor can I find any doc's to describe it. Why would suse make such a good tool, but obscure the sources to the point where I can't afford to spend any more time looking. Why make the directory structures so incomprehensible? Charly Baker

Have a look at "http://www.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Updating_KDE_and_other_applications_...", I think that's the easiest way. Sven
