Hi all,

for our network at work, I have created a YaST repository with a few
additional RPMs we want to be able to install on our workstations. The
repo is installed as an NFS repo in YaST on the workstations (SuSE 10.0)
and it can see and work with that repo. Hence, that part is working
fine. However, if I change the repository (e.g.  add/remove packages and
re-run create_package_description), YaST does not pick up the changes.
First thing I did was to go into "Installation Source" and do a
"refresh" for that repository. But that does not seem to work - YaST
still lists the old/deleted RPMs from that repo and does not show the
new ones. Also, in /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcmanager/CORRESPONDING_CACHE/, I
can see that only the description gets updated by a "refresh" - but not
the "packages" file.
The only way to get YaST to "get" the changes is to delete and recreate
the entry for that repo - which is tedious and confusing.

Is this a bug in YaST or am I missing something?

Cheerio,

Thomas
