1. The rpm packages for KDE updates have been removed from the apt repository at ftp.gwdg.de, with more packages to be removed in the near future.
No. The packages were never in the apt repository. Other people made an apt repository that *pointed* to those packages. They can do it again. They don't need a new release of apt for that, all that's needed is to set their mirrors to point somewhere else. They used to download the packages from ftp.suse.com, now they're at opensuse.org
The mirroring continues, but no apt repository will be out of it. That's for 2 reasons: 1) it is too much unorganized. It's very hard to determine which directory is for suse-10.1, suse-10.0, FC4, FC5, etc. For suse-10.1 there are many different names, where some of them differ only in capital - or lower case. 2) The repository provides for each build environment repodata formatted metadata. The standard repository format that is to used by all package manager out there. This makes indexing according the apt repository redundant.
2. Apt will not work with the opensuse build service.
huh?
It could work, but it requires a lot of work and it is not needed anymore, see above. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
