The question then is why does YAST only offer one repo on my 11.3 x64 system when I try and add it. I don't want to get overly complicated. I thought enough time had passed for this change over to have been accomplished and I would be offered all the new repos under "community" when I went to add them with YAST.
My repo for packman under YAST "Configured Software Repositories" is http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/packman/suse/11.3 This is all I was offered by YAST. Shouldn't have this just worked and all three new trepositories have been offered? No, you need to manually add each one until the xml list for YaST is updated....
So I should wait and hope the list for YAST gets updated. Thanks Malcolm. Once again you have answered my question in a way I understand. You have helped me often on the forum.
Yes, that's how it is for now.
We're still working on migrating packages into our new
repository layout although what >90% of people use should be
there by now.
We still have to decide when we will make the "switch" and
remove the old repositories (with symlinks to the new ones, that
way it won't break the old URLs).
Once that is done, I will adapt the list of Packman repositories
in YaST, in order to give you the option of picking
* the new repositories
* individual repositories instead of just the "big" one
Sorry for the inconvenience during this phase where we are still
busy working on the whole thing.
cheers
