You do realise that Packman works fine as an additional source under YaST, don't you? Guru packages too. Go into "Change Source of Installation" and add the following two entries:
HTTP packman.iu-bremen.de suse/9.2 anonymous
HTTP ftp.gwdg.de pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/9.2 anonymous
Note: Don't put the leading / on the directory, it won't work. Packman is almost seamless, but with Guru you sometimes have to manually select the version and set to refresh the package. The only other thing to be aware of is that when they release new packages you seem to have to "Refresh" the entries first, or they don't show up when installing packages.
The easiest way to see what new packages are added is to do the refreshing, then in the installion window select "Package Groups", "zzz All", then sort the list by "Avail. ver.". You'll see a bunch of red lines (usually stuff updated using YOU) then any with newer versions are blue. Just set these to refresh.
This way all the dependencies are worked out for you.
And keep in mind that you can turn these extra sources on and off and change the priority as well by moving them up and down in the list. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
