Seems smart *can* do so
smart channel --help-type rpm-dir Type: rpm-dir - RPM Directory
Local directory with RPM packages.
Fields: alias (*) - Unique identification for the channel. type (*) - Channel type name - Channel name manual - If set to a true value, the given channel will only be updated when manually selected. disabled - If set to a true value, the given channel won't be used. removable - If set to a true value, the given channel will be considered as being available in a removable media (cdrom, etc). priority - Default priority assigned to all packages available in this channel (0 if not set). If the exact same package is available in more than one channel, the highest priority is used. path (*) - Path of directory containing RPM packages. recursive - Search for files recursively.
(*) These fields are necessary for this type.

Has something to do with some kind of policy i think, if i want to install an rpm, any rpm, from my homedir, it can not be found! Most irritating if you ask me.. ;-)

I'm a bit late with answer. It was written an hour ago, before lunch, but it adds more info, so here it is:
/home/RPM/ can be added, but it has to contain metadata about packages. The way I use is to run program 'createrepo' in that directory which will create subdirectory 'repodata' and than add /home/RPM/ to package sources.
With this procedure YaST etc, will complain that packages are not signed, but you can tell to use them anyway.
Second deficiency of this method is that you have to run 'createrepo' on every change otherwise YaST or 'zypper refresh' will not find any changes you made, ie. will not find new packages or complain about missing packages.

Aha. I presume the 2th defciency will be corrected? Not that it matters to me to do things more than nessesary, but just to know that progression will happen. ;-)
We all know that it is very inconvenient not being able to test pkgs, other than those in the original repos. I thank you for this info!

There is the list of all Enhancement requests ever made for YaST2. I remember that adding local repos without hassle to use createrepo manually was one discussed quite some time ago, but it seems to be forgotten. The bad is that it was an option before, and it worked with no problems.

It is not as simple as you and Vahis suggest:

How to specify such a directory than? I do not mind to move the rpm's to another directory, or change the name... but this is not very obvious, if you ask me?

You missed the "." (ie. current directory) in the original suggestion?
cd /home/dir createrepo .
But I STILL dont understand why you can't add folder with some RPM's in as a 'plain' RPM directory (rather than RPM meta-data one)? I do it that way in both yast software and smart on 10.3. Though I'm not sure if yast handles sub-directories whereas I believe smart does.

that is what i thought at first..(did not try ./ as a regular install though..)

What i realy want is just install an rpm from the right-mouse menu in konqueror. It offers that option, but after given the root password, it *allways* ends with the frase: can not find: /home/monkey9/RPM/huppeldepup-5.3.1-6.noarch.rpm (whatever)
I want to use a dir, where i store all my rpm's, because it is easier to find what i want there...
If creating a repo is the only option left, i'll have to use that, but if not, i would rather just use an installer, and install an rpm, if needed, yes.
You think it is a question about a subdir? (i thought it was a question of policy)
I will imediately check this..
(about smart: used smart a long time, but in SuSE, zypper needs the attention now. If there is no other way than to use smart, or it takes too much time to do it another way, i will be forced to use it, yes.)

The command above will work without creating a repository. It will scan a directory for RPMs in it, generate metadata on-fly (during libzypp start).

Yes, you've created a repository with metadata. My command specifically said libzypp to avoid autodetection of the repository type and go for plaindir repo.

No. It means that if you have a directory containing just RPMs, libzypp needs to figure out some details during each start by examining those RPMs.

OK, that sounds more like it! thnxalot.. (from testalot..;-)
After i had created the repo, adding it with the command you supplied, did not work.
The command above will work without creating a repository. It will scan a directory for RPMs in it, generate metadata on-fly (during libzypp start).
What does that mean, that i have to restart lybzypp, before it is visible as a repo?
No. It means that if you have a directory containing just RPMs, libzypp needs to figure out some details during each start by examining those RPMs.

OK, like i said: (take some food first), than check it. (realy cool option, if it works ;-)

Well, it does not work, and if i recall correct, i tried your suggestion first, and when it did not work, i used create repo, and tried to add it.

Sorry to hear you are having such troubles with this! Maybe the factory software management is quite different now to 10.3? Anyway, for me too "Install Software" right-click option fails. It asks for password, reads the RPM database then just craps out and disappears.
However, I _can_ successfully install by going via "Preview in KRPMView" right-click option, and then choosing "Install Package with YaST". This works perfectly.
Also came across this wiki about creating a repos: http://en.opensuse.org/Creating_YaST_Installation_Sources
Best of luck! I have seen you many times testing and commenting on stuff like KDE4 and so on. It's activity like that which helps make opensuse even better :) Cheers, David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

When: zypper in audiokonverter (you need rootprivileges to install pkgs) sudo etc, zypper took the newest package from six or eight audiokonverter-pkgs that were there..so..
Well in gui, when in Software management screen, you can click on the package then select "versions" tab and choose which version you want to use.
With zypper you can do it too - from man page:
install (in) [options] --capability <capability> ... Install or update packages or other resolvables.
The resolvables can be selected by their name or by a capability they provide.
Capability is: NAME, or "NAME[OP<EDITION>]", where OP is <, <=, =, >=, or > and EDITION is VERSION[-RELEASE], for example: zyp‐ per=0.8.8-2.
The NAME component of a capability is not only a package name but any symbol provided by packages: /bin/vi, libcurl.so.3, perl(Time::ParseDate). Just remember to quote to protect the special characters from the shell, for example: zypper>0.8.10 or 'zypper>0.8.10'
If EDITION is not specified, the newest available version will be installed. This also means that if the package is already installed and newer versions are available, it will get upgraded to the newest one.
This is typically obtuse man-page-speak to this simple user (gives me a headache!) but suggests you can select which version, provided you can unravel this explanation.
Cheers, David

Hey, there are examples! :O) Want some more?? There is also a wiki page http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper/Usage#Installing_Resolvables.
If you feel it is not enough, feel free to suggest something :O0

No, for me this does not work for a few versions allready...
