is it planned to be able to use YaST sources with smart? Or is it already possible and I didn't realize it? :-)
It's not, as of now. Christoph Thiel has sent the YaST2 repository specs to Gustavo Niemeyer, the smart maintainer. But I don't know whether he'll have the time to code it. Gustavo is currently away for one or two weeks, but I'll ask him as soon as he's back on IRC. Maybe we could make that a request on the smart bugtracker, and we all go vote for it ;)
By the way, which other APT sources for openSUSE are there because e. g. whenn I wanted to download the kernel-source package, bielefeld didn't have it, and erlangen maybe was to slow (smart was choosing gwdg first). So I decided to install it with YaST2 (with ftp.hosteurope.de as source) and it went quickly.
There are obviously more YaST2 repositories for the SUSE Linux packages (i.e. the core distro) than APT repositories, see all the mirrors that just rsync download.opensuse.org Nevertheless, for 10.0, you can also use rpm-md (yum) repositories as they're part of the "official" core distribution repositories (it's that "repodata" subdirectory) and, hence, mirrored everywhere. Note that smart seems to have some rpm-md issues as of 0.40. Not for everyone, but a few people experience it. If you can choose between an apt-rpm or an rpm-md/yum repository format, go for apt-rpm. cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <pascal.bleser@skynet.be> <guru@unixtech.be> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDa7G+r3NMWliFcXcRAnNLAKChZ0HmFBaVGsOfwjC4A/BEA4yjowCffsa/ Qan19A9fXUeRaztzENCwBBI= =q/Op -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
