Hello, Mathias Homann írta:
correct me if i got the facts wrong, but this also means an end to packman, guru, scorot, and all those other additional installation sources "out there", as well as to my own source i'm maintainig mainly for my own entertainment...
Then end of the world is not yet here. Please take a look at http://en.opensuse.org/Secure_Installation_Sources , It works. I get a warning, that and untrusted key is used, and if I really want to use it, but still works. I recompile (most) PackMan packages for PPC. If I update the repository, all I have to do is to run three simple commands, which I combined in a brain dead script (if we can call it that :-) ), using info from the above mentioned URL. factoryppc:/data # cat sign.sh #!/bin/sh cd /data/out/10.1-ppc gpg -a --detach-sign repodata/repomd.xml gpg -a --export > repodata/repomd.key And then ./up.sh to rsync up everything to the ftp server... But you are probably right, Joe Average should wait a bit, for example I just found, that installation sources are not refreshed, even if marked so. So updated packages were not found, as they were already deleted and replaced by one with higher version number, and also new packages did not show up. I'm running the latest factory now, so hopefully this bug is not on GM :-) Bye, CzP
