Hi Uwe, List,
I am trying to set up a parallel update tree to the oss repository
for opensuse-10.3 and not having much success, though I used this
successfully in 10.1 and 10.2. I have tried to follow the various
directions on using inst-source-utils from
http://en.opensuse.org/Inst-source-utils
and Uwe's page (entry for create_update_source.sh Version 20060925)
http://www.suse.de/~ug/
These are slightly contradictory though and I have tended towards the
ones on the Inst-source-utils page as they seem to be more recent.
I have tried both inst-source-utils-2006.11.21-2 (from opensuse 10.2)
and inst-source-utils-2007.9.26-4 from 10.3 to the same effect.
I have a directory into which I have put a mirror of the oss
repository, this is the $(BASE) macro in the Makefile below. Basically
I type 'make' and it goes and does the steps in the all: target. But
when I try to add the repository using 'zypper sa' it complains that
./suse/setup/descr/packages is missing, but there is such a file in
the repository, provided ./ is taken to be the top-level oss/update
directory. Here is the error in detail, and below that is my Makefile.
