Subject: [Fou4s-devel] SuSE 10.1 support
Hi, Unfortunately SuSE has changed the format of the update
descriptions to a new -- XML based -- format. I've received
an awk-based xml parser from a user which should make it
rather easy to parse the XML files without additional
software.
Unfortunately though, I'm in the process of finishing my
masters thesis and don't have much time to work on fou4s :(
If anyone is interested in implementing a new parser - just
contact me :)

See the forum on Smart Package Manager - I use this on
SuSE 9.2 pro as well as fou4s or YOU.

Not tested smart package manager today but it has been
working well recently.

In theory, theory and practice are the same;
in practice they are not.

ZenWorks is broken. YOU doesn't seem to work. It looks like Novell
changed the way their update servers work, breaking fou4s. Anyone know
any workarounds?
The only ray of hope is that apt is now an official package and seems to
work great. I wonder if it might be easier to have fou4s work through
apt, rather than the current system?
