kdebase3-SuSE could be changed to use createrepo instead of genIS_PLAINcache and the installation_sources replacement.
Ideally, the installation_sources replacement would be called installation_sources and support the same commandline syntax as the old installation_sources.
Was the old tool and its options sufficiently useful ? How do they compare to e.g. rug or smart ?
It was usefull. `installation_sources -a ftp://example.com/URL` Perhaps it is that the current chain of command is not clear. There is zen, there is lybzypp, there is rug, there is yast. And I can imagine that it is confusing what to use when. http://en.opensuse.org/Zmd clears a bit things up, but it is not as clear as it used to be. Perhaps somebody with knowledge (e.g. not me) could make a re-write of http://en.opensuse.org/Examples_using_rug and change it into http://en.opensuse.org/Rug or make a generic Rug page that points towards the examples. Something that is more beginner friendly then a manpage. The fact that `rug st` does not say anything about YaST installation sources does not make things easier. A proper GUI for rug would be nice. If that could be YaST, that would be great. And I mean a single point of contact, not seperate programs, like zen-installer, -updater and -remover. -- houghi Please to not toppost http://houghi.org My experience with SUSE You can have my keyboard ... if you can pry it from my dead, cold, stiff fingers
