What does not work: are urls with login and passwords, like: ftp://login:password@host.domain.tld/dir

Hum... It always works for me, either with FTP or HTTP (basic auth).
Tell me what is different than (my firewall maybe)?
There is a field labelled alias and another one name (when adding a channel). I think the name field should be labelled "description". If that would
alias = netmask name = Mauricio Teixeira
alias = yaloki name = Pascal Blesser
alias = suse-base name = Suse Base Packages
The last one clearly shows that 'name' is not the right one. 'description' is
better as it is more general. If you want to keep a name than use it as 3rd
(info only field). So it can be used as:
name: Pascal Blesser
Is there a central directory that shows which repositories are available?
That should be up to the distro (or contributers) to make it available. Check for example this site: http://easyurpmi.zarb.org (central mirror listing for Mandriva).
So, why is suse not providing this? Or anybody else that wants suse to switch to repodata. Have a look at: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/10.0-i386/examples -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
