Is there any reason in particular you want to use yum over zypper anyway? And what repo are you specifically looking for? or program or what?
1) i'm not the creator of the rpm 2) it don't seems to work with zypper (or need some syntax I don't know) 3) it have on the end the need to be available for any Linux Distribution (it's a collection of all the LDP HOWTOs) Yum is said to give a list of the HOWTOs for anybody choice NB: I installed the most recent cthiel yum version, and it seems to work better: at least don't ask for openSUSE repository but to tldp one - not available, but this is an other story thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

try this as root zypper ar ftp://78.130.133.76/tldp/base TLDP it added the repo for me but the actual repo seems to be really slow -- Michael S. Dunsavage -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Do you mean installing the rpm package? No special syntax is required, it should work like this: zypper in 'http://wiki.tldp.org/Package%20Repositories?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=tldp-repo-0.1-1.noarch.rpm' But indeed, zypper will only handle URLs which point directly to the rpm file. This one doesn't. Maybe we might improve on that, i'm not sure. Is yum really able to install it from this URL? -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 ---------------------------------------------------------(IRC)--- Server: irc.freenode.net Nick: jniq Channels: #zypp #yast #suse #susecz ---------------------------------------------------------(EOF)---
