System:Configuration:Install Software calls a title-less YaST2 module where updating the system is hidden under: Package:All Packages:Update
I configured it to use the following repositories: Filter:Repositories: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/non-oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/10.3 http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_10.3/ http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/10.3/ http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/SuSE/10.3/ Is this a good choice ? Unfortunately i don't see how to edit or change the list there.
The list of repos can be modified via starting YaST, module 'Software Repositories'.
And in the Change Log i miss the version names in the list.
Updating Channels in Smart-Gui Package Manager is just as awkward, and it lists different addresses: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/non-oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/ RPM System (no URL) Is the first just an alias of the URL used in Yast ?
What is openSUSE Updater using ?
The first list.
It currently reports two security updates i don't see in Yast2. And Yast2 just updated a few apps that Updater did not see.
This is because openSUSE uses thing called 'patches'. A patch is a bugfix, and it might mean to fix several packages. Thus, applying a patch is different to updating the packages. openSUSE updater applies patches only by default. the 'Install Software' module updates the packages. Stano
You can rightly say that i don't understand how to update OpenSuse 10.3, but i would also say it's a bit of a mess :-) Especially in contrast to the professionalism that goes into building all those updates.
Kind regards Philippe
