Re: [suse-amd64] updates for 10.1

Hi, I have some updates on this. I started up the novell-zmd stuff on my suse 10.1 www server with the suse mirror in its local partition /scratch The I did a:

rug sd 1 rug sd 1

finally a :

rug sl

showed nothing next I added the local dir to the www server like this: rug sa --type=zypp dir:///scratch/pub/opensuse/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source opensuse-local then I subscribed to it like this:

rug subscribe opensuse-local

after this I started up yast and the installations sources just appeared and now it works fine. The problem I am having now is with the suse clients that need to access the local suse mirror via http. I tried the same aproach as above but I get this error message when I try to add the repo. /root# rug sa --type=zypp http://10.0.0.9/pub/opensuse/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source opensuse-local Adding zypp service... 0% ERROR: Could not add 'http://10.0.0.9/pub/opensuse/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source': Failed to parse XML metadata: Can't add repository at http://10.0.0.9/pub/opensuse/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source: Cannot create the installation source any ideas?

Hi,

Got another problem now. I have managed to mirror both opensuse 10.1 and the suse updates 10.1. I have them both on a www server on our internal network 10.0.x.x. I have several clients on our internal network that need to install and update from this www mirror i made.

When I try to add an intallation source via yast I always get this error message:

Unable to create installation source ? ?from URL 'http://10.0.0.9/pub/opensuse/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-sour?

Double check the path.

...

?Details: ? ?Cannot create the installation source ? ?Try again?

Is this related to the novell-zmd stuff that is running on the servers? Do I need to have this novell-zmd thing running? These are servers and no one but root needs to be able to install software so I don't really need novell-zmd right?

You do not need novell-zmd running, you can just disable it,

Andreas
