There is no link in the wiki page to any metalink client in rpm form: people are forced to compile their own. I have been pointed to one in the guru repository, but I don't trust it. I don't think many people will use metalink with so many dificulties... we from the mass are not using 10.2 yet.
I did just make this page today, but: http://en.opensuse.org/Metalinks That's the page I plan on pointing people to who are having problems downloading.
Point http://en.opensuse.org/Released_Version#Metalink to it, then.
I agree that at least aria2 should be in the main repository, but I think you underestimate the usage of Guru. The "masses" on SUSE all use Guru, as far as I've seen. It's *the* place to get amarok, for example.
My amarok is the one from SuSE and works fine ;-) But I had no way of knowing that aria2 was there.
But of course that doesn't exclude the hundreds (thousands?) of other packages that are available there. It's only second to packman in terms of popular 3rd-party repositories. I see no reason to distrust it in the case of aria2.
No, the "distrust" is because I don't know how it has been prepared, knowing that aria2 needs a xml library that is not in 10.1: ie, it refuses to make in 10.1. How was it built, then? My remark about the masses not being able to use metalink is because the download page does not point to rpms of metalink clients, only to sources, and one of them is not compilable. I have wxdfast sucesfully compiled, anyway. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
