actually, if you follow the instructions from the FAQ, you have created a new directory (updates) in parallel of your suse installation tree. You don't add RPMs to suse/i586 but to updates/suse/i586
to add this with add on product YaST says that this is a already known product.
you have to add the "updates" directory as an add-on source
What is the difference between Installation Source and Add-on Product?
An add-on product requires a base-product for example. But from my point of view too, installation source and add-on product are quite similar, you are right. That whole mechanism is new for me too.
What is the best practice way? Add RPMs to the original SuSE Distro? Or try to create a new directory for that?
create the directory with the create_update_source script and add your RPMs there. Today I took a look at a new yast2 module for creating add-on sources. So I hope in the future this task is more easy to handle and to understand. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug
