Hi, I've put the SuSE 10.1 sources into a directory SuSE/, created a SuSE/updates directory with the create_update_source.sh script and put some of my own RPMs into it. Works fine, AY finds and installs them. Now guess that I want to add all RPMs from SLED10 to my SuSE sources so that AY installs SLED10 packages when they are newer as SuSE (let's not discuss if this makes sense for now :-)). I tried a) define SLED10 as addon product. Unsolvable dependencies, e.g. suse-release.rpm vs. sled-release.rpm etc. b) in SuSE/updates/suse/ call /usr/bin/create_package_descr -l english -l german -d . \ -d /whereever/SLED10/suse/ and pass only SuSE/updates/ as addon source to AY. -> "packages" file contains all SLED10 packages, AY manages to solve dependencies, but segfaults when starting to install. I guess it cannot access the /whereever/SLED10/suse/ directory because it doesn't know where it is. c) bind-mount the SLED10/suse/ directory at SuSE/updates/suse/sled10/ -> create_packages_descr doesn't find them because it searches with maxdepth 2. d) like b) but call the script with "-d . -d sles10 -d sled10". AY finds all packages, even starts installing, but says it will install only 3.5GB instead of the 9.5GB it usually would (without the additional sles10/sled10 packages) and fails at many packages during the installation process. Looks like it would only install from the updates/ dir, ignoring the normal SuSE/ path. So, is there any way to achieve what I want? Just add a bunch of RPMs with newer releases from a product like SLED10 without copying all those RPMs into the update/ dir? And what's the correct way to work with the -d parameter? Can it work only for subdirs of the updates/suse/ dir? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
