I have one machine that usually has set up the specific set of package repositories that I want to use. It is not uncommon that I want this exact same set of repositories on a few other machines. To date, I have edited the list for each system in YaST. Yes, a real time killer. How are others doing this? I would expect there to be an export command that makes something that can be imported on another system. I have not found it. For example, the zypper command (that I know about) to list the repositories does so in a way that cannot be imported elsewhere. What trick has not found itself up my sleve?
In yast there is a feature in software management that lets you do just that.
On the box that has the correct package list:
Software Management -> File -> export
On the box you want to set up:
Software Management -> File -> import
I do not want simply to export the list of things I have installed. I do not necessarily want all machines to have the same packages. They have different tasks. I only want them to use the same repositories when getting whatever packages they use. And, even if I had said list of packages from machine A, machine B may not know where to get them from unless the list of repositories is also updated. And I am tired of doing this by hand. It would be great if "Software Repositories" in YaST had an export/import function. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
