The KDE supplementary repository is now empty and has been moved to the Build Service: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KD E/README ...
There's also a backports repository, where popular KDE applications are built against the stock KDE version as shipped with 10.0 or 10.1, respectively. Just to clarify (and after reading the README again ;)): if you want the latest KDE + the latest KDE applications (e.g. amarok, koffice, ...), then you must add *both* repositories.
e.g. on SL 10.1: http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/SUSE_Linux_10. 1/ *AND* http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/KDE:/Backports/SUSE_Linu x_10.1/
and does ist work for suse 10.0 the same way (of course by using "SUSE_Linux_10.0" as the latest sub-directory)?
Yes: http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/SUSE_Linux_10.0... http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/KDE:/Backports/SUSE_Linux... (and the same for 9.3 as well)
i tried that. but yast said something like this: "no productinformation under this path. if you whould like to access a product, go back and enter the correct path. if you whould like to use the rpm-packages from this path go ahead."
what does that mean?
It means that YaST2 tried to add that repository as a yast2 format repository, but the Build Service only provides RPM-MD format repositories. I don't understand why that doesn't work with SL 10.0, as YaST2 in 10.0 also has support for RPM-MD. It should auto-detect the URL as being an RPM-MD repository. Note that it doesn't work for 9.3 - there you have to use e.g. smart
is that an error?
Yes.
will i have a problem?
No, you're just not able to add the repository.
Please try as follows (as root, on a shell):
installation_sources -a \
http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/SUSE_Linux_10.0...
cheers
