Is it possible to have zypper and yast from 10.3 working on 10.2? Does it have any special requirement?

In theory yes, however, you will have to rebuild all binary packages (including libzypp) against 10.2 (and not be able to use those built for 10.3). And there is a risk that the way some settings of the system have been changed between 10.2 and 10.3 and relevant module has been adapted, thus some individual modules will not work properly with 10.2..

Hello, in fact, zypper works quiet well, and libzypp is of course needed. Unfortunately, when doing so, you have to upgrade almost all of the Yast2 stack (packeger is missing dependencies, new version requires new yast base package and so on. in the BuildService home:dimstar, I started to collect everything that is needed to bring a working yast back, but the Factory-Imported yast actually does not compile in the BuildService (well: it would be time to switch the whole development to the OBS; then such things would be realized by the internal packagers too). On my own system, I have a working zypper (well: not exactly, it's the broken version from Factory ;) ) and I'm quiet happy with it. Only YaST and all it's modules are not running at the moment... I hope to give some better update on this soon. Dominique TMF is a global management and accounting outsourcing firm with 77 offices in 60 countries and over 2,000 professionals (2007).

Great. I will try to compile some packages by my own. -- Kind Regards Visitá/Go to >> http://www.opensuse.org
