[opensuse] Yast2: creating local dir installation source
Version: 10.1 When I go to add a new local installation source I get an error. I'm using "Add->Local directory..." I enter "/tmp/mysource" and it returns: 'Unable to create installation source from URL 'dir:///tmp/mysource'.' It doesn't matter whether 'mysource' exists or not. Any directory (or file) I enter gives the same error. I'm logged in as root. http and ftp work fine. Any ideas? Thanks, Sam __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

What is in that directory? Is it a directory with just RPMs in it or is it a real repository with a "repodata" directory or a "content" file? Plain directories with RPMs in it are currently not supported, but you can use the "createrepo" utility to make a real repository of them. Andreas Hanke

Just to keep you informed, we commited support for plain directory sources (together with patch and delta rpm support) last week, and I hope a working version appears in the next alphas.

I know, and it's very, very appreciated. ;-) Thanks! Andreas Hanke --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
