I use the YaST interface as follows:
- YOU (online update) to download and install official SUSE patches plus optional bits and pieces distributed through by SUSE through YOU.
- Install and Remove/Software Management for original SUSE package repositories (mirrors), including 'unofficial' supplementary directories.
I use the CLI "apt" system (another "bolt-on" rpm interface) to access community-maintained repositories with packages from "third parties" like Packman.
I'm curious why you use apt for this instead of just adding packman as a source in YaST?
The whole point of these systems is to allow one to define on-line sources at the start and take advantage of them without having to deal with manual downloads, installs and dependencies.
Absolutely :) Cheers, Dave
