Togan, you're quick, it should have remained a secret for some time ;) It ain't suse that is providing the apt repository though. It is being created from the suse rpm repository that is being mirrored by gwdg. Op maandag 25 maart 2002 11:26, schreef Togan Muftuoglu:
Looks like SuSE has the apt-get functionality integrated (ftp.gwdg.de has a directory apt)
Has anyone used apt-get for SuSE/apt and if so comments are appreciated
Yes, I (and some others as well) have already for a loonngggg time and it works very very well! More info at the underneath url. Info how to use the the gwdg apt repository can be found at that url as, follow the link about apt repositories (called apt-rpm reps). BTW: if you do an apt-get upgrade of the base component many many packages are going to be updated as they differ just a little compared to the packages that have been delivered via the suse CD's. So you may want to leave out the component "base" to lower the number of packages to be updated. A last note, I've done a 7.2 -> 7.3 upgrade via apt-get upgrade and it worked as desired :)) Be carefull when the kernel is being updated (automatically) as it required lilo and mk_initrd to be run. -- Richard Bos For those without home the journey is endless http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net
