Can you tell me the URL and path for the updates for KDE in Yast ?
I suggest you bookmark this page as it covers the majority of repositories for packages relating to SuSE Linux.
Hello Graham.
Very nice URL, and thanks.
By the way, what does it mean in the Yast Software Management > Package Gropus>zzz all, that I have a blue line with a software installed, but there's a lockindicator at the beginning ?.
If a package is shown in blue it means that there is an update to it. The lock indicator is not really relevant since SuSE changed the way the repositories worked - different meta-data to cover smart and Yum. Previously all KDE packages were under the supplementary directory and had I believe different meta-data suitable for Yast only.
Please look at this site for full details on how to update http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/16592.html
Also I have noted that the updates can be really slow to download. I expect that some of the mirrors are either hopelessly swamped or under resourced. The easiest solution I have found if it is taking forever to read the packages is to abort (kill) the process and start again with fingers crossed.
Does that mean, that the lock indicator can be just removed or ?. I know, that a blue color means, that the part in blue has an update available. What deos SuSE in fact do, as You say its not really relevant ?. Do You mean, that it's not relevant, that SuSE sets a lock indicator ?. Is it a misunderstanding using smart one day, and Yats another one ?. I'll have a look at the URL. Thanks for it. The last one is like closing ones eyes, and hope all wents ok ;-) Erik
