adding online_update without /etc/youservers
now that YOU has been replaced with libzypp there is no longer the /etc/youservers for specifying your list of servers. is there an equivalent to the /etc/youservers file? -- Darin Perusich Unix Systems Administrator Cognigen Corporation 395 Youngs Rd.

you should try to use "rug sa" in a script. I have to admit, all that software installation stuff in 10.1 is new to me too. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de

i've been reading rug(1) and it looked like "rug sa --type=nu http://172.16.0.228/pub/suse/i386/update/10.1/" was what needed to be done to add my local update mirror. this fails with trying to find the file repo/repoindex.xml, neither the directory or xml file exist. so i added this as a "zypp service" with "rug sa --type=nu http://172.16.0.228/pub/suse/i386/update/10.1/" but this is treated as an inst-source. when running "rug up -t patch" i'm getting no updates available, which is not true. it doesn't appear to me that it is "possible", at least that i can see that you can use a local mirror as your update server. can this be correct? i can't be having 100+ machine connecting to novell every night to download updates, it's going kill my net connection. i need my update mirror to be local. my first impression of ZYPP is that it isn't ready from prime time. but from what i've been reading on various suse forums these thoughts are being echo'd. i don't mean to rant, but the frustration is reaching a boiling point. this is/was why i use suse in the first place! -- Darin Perusich Unix Systems Administrator Cognigen Corporation 395 Youngs Rd.

it looks like you need to add them as a YUM repository. rug sa --type=YUM http://x.x.x.x/pub/suse/i386/update/10.1/ name Darin Perusich wrote:

Hi, Yes, type NU expects repoindex.xml. I guess you have YUM repository instead (repomd). Have you tried --type=yum or no explicit --type at all?
so i added this as a "zypp service" with "rug sa --type=nu
I assume --type=zypp

Hm, a bug. It seems it is this one: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=171171#c29 It is addressed in the recent update of the packagemanagement stack: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-security-announce/2006-Jun/0004.html
it doesn't appear to me that it is "possible", at least that i can see that you can use a local mirror as your update server. can this be correct? i can't be having 100+ machine connecting to novell every night to download updates, it's going kill my net connection. i need my update mirror to be local.

We know that the packaging is bad :-/ and are working hard to fix it. Please apply the above update and try again. -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer SuSE CR, s.r.o. e-mail: mvidner@suse.cz Drahobejlova 27 tel:+420-296542390 190 00 Praha 9, Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz
