Hi, I have the same situation. Read how to do it at: http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac/smart_rpm_mgt.html Sample config files included. On Friday, November 1, 2002, at 10:46 AM, Christian Bjørnbak wrote:
Thanks,
I've been wanting to check out apt-get now there was no excuse ;->
But I brings two questions:
- When I try to do the apt-get -s upgrade it complains that I have mozilla-1.1 (from SuSE) instead of mozilla-1.0
apt-get -s upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: nautilus: Depends: mozilla (= 1.0) but 1.1-0 is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
Do I downgrade mozilla run apt-get -s upgrade and upgrade mozilla again??
- At the office we are two running Linux. There is no reason we both use bandwith downloading the same stuff.. A proxy setting would solve this...
But additionally I'm running Linux at home and only have a K56 modem - I prefer bringing the updates home by CDRW than downloading them again....
Can we setup use a common local directory as mirror like on apt-get install look in local directory, if rpm is there and up to date - install else download and copy to local directory????

Christian,
these rpms are being offered via the apt repository as well (link2linux is mirrored). With apt (advanced package tool) there is no need to monitor the repository manual as apt does that for you e.g.
an "apt-get install <pkg from l2l>" is sufficient to obtain the packages and have them installed for you.
More about apt at: http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm (and look for packman-i38x) for the l2l rpms.

This guy maintains a repository of SuSE RPM's including Xine and Ogle
http://www.links2linux.de and choose PackMan
The site is german but the RPM's are indexed by name so you can easily make you way around.
