And, precisely, lack of documentation has been a major issue, for example - how to create a YaST2 repository (which is still a mess, compared to opencarpet or createrepo - I won't mention apt4rpm as I've always found that to be way too complex to set up as well)
With 10.0 you can use createrepo for that. I know it does not make a REAL YaST repository. It makes a workable one. That
- how to create YOU repositories
As long as it is trictly devided and does not just look at the latest version. I would hate it if a Packman version would overwrite a SUSE version of software or the other way around.
- easy "upgrade" operation in YaST2
That would indeed be very welcome. At this moment I do not even try do do an upgrade as I see so many problems other people have with only slightly changed versions. I rather do a new installation and edit that then trust SUSE with doing everything correct. Many people ask for it and my advice is 1) Backup 2) Try the upgrade 3) Do a new installation. The reason so many people ask is because they want to run the latest version of whatever is available. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.
