10.1 - YaST Installation Source, Local Directory
Hi, I was trying to add /home/<user name> as a local directory where to search for rpm packages: Add... Local Directory... /home<user name> [OK] I always hit the following error: Unable to create installation source from URL 'dir:///home/<user name>' I'm sure I could use it that way with 10.0. I used to download rpms to my home and install them from there through YaST Software Management feature. Is this how it is supposed to work or is it a possible bug? What's your experience? Thanks, -mw

Same here. I was just going to file a bug. I wonder if create_package_descr can help us here. I am bcc-ing a friend who I hope will join the discussion here. He knows about create_package_descr. (Thanks houghi!) Shriramana Sharma.
