The SDB has moved. It is now part of the SuSE portal. The new address is http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/index.html New articles will only appear there, not in the old sdb. But the new sdb still work in progress, i.e. not all features have been implemented yet. What's missing are for instance the history or the ability to have the sdb send articles as mail. And searching the sdb does not always work reliably. Philipp -- Philipp Thomas work: pthomas AT suse DOT de private: philipp DOT thomas AT t-link DOT de

What about the local copy of it? Can we still update our sdb package with the monthly rpm or diffs? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

The sdb articles are now kept within a CMS and therefor can't easily be exported as stand alone HTML pages and thus be packaged. I don't know whether the off-line sdb will still be available in the future, but my guess is no. Philipp

Oughh! That hurts :-( What people with slow network conection, or limited or no connection at all? That's the end of the sdb for me. I can no longer use it, as simple as that. :-( -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
