Has anyone actually tried to add the YaST2 repo:
http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/<projectname>/<directory>
Good luck as it is -NOT- YaST compatible. And no I should not have to report this as a bug as it should have been tested first.
YaST2 Only 10.0 and 10.1 YaST do support YUM repositories! For SUSE Linux 9.3, 10.0, 10.1 and Factory, you can also use smart or yum, to install and update packages from the Build Service. The latests smart and yum packages can be found at http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/cthiel1/
A YaST user can add a project as installation source (In the "installation source" module) by using http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/<projectname>/<directory>
I'm sorry but there is -no- <projectname> directory and pasting the link "http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/ in a browser comes back with a 404 error.
That's correct -- <projectname> and <directory> are variables!
Trying to add http://repos.opensuse.org/KDE:/KDE3/SUSE_Linux_10.0/ to YaST reports an error. There is -NO- add type for YUM repos on 10.0 "YaST2--> Installation Source". Someone want to try again.
Just add "http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/KDE3/SUSE_Linux_10.0/" as an installation source to SUSE Linux 10.0 -- YaST will figure out itself, it it's rpm-md or something else. Regards Christoph
