So not only has the best package management system been effectively killed without a suitable replacement, but future (and current SuSE KDE packages) SuSE packages will be a far lower quality (missing recent bugfixes, translations, etc). These are two core defects that are the core of what a distribution is supposed to do: provide software.
Here here !!! Right on! Just don't know why SuSE can't take apt and adopt/adapt this superior package handler that has been proven for many years now.
Hi Bob :) I have uploaded a new apt (client) to the apt repository (suser-rbos). It may be available in a couple of hours via the apt repository. This apt client is able to process the repodata that is provided by the buildserver. It is not the latest apt version, there is a newer one, but it is a start.... ;) Configuration example: repomd ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/kolab suse-10.1 For the build-service this will be (all on 1 line): repomd http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/Kolab SUSE_Linux_10.1 For kde it should be: repomd http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/KDE:/KDE3 SUSE_Linux_10.1 1 caveat the repomd lines may take some processing time, I believe that this is improved in the last version.
