No, my bad. It's just the first time I've come across colons in any of the SUSE package trees.
I only knew it wasn't a typo because I checked it out, first. ;-)
Chalk one up for the knee-jerk throw-away e-mail :-) Although in fairness at least I asked if it was a typo, and didn't say, "Hey a*hole! Learn how to type a URL!!!" :-D
Very true... you are to be commended for your restraint!
... It may already exist, but I've not encountered it yet.
I've been collecting bits and pieces of threads on the updater / package management fixes. The latest I'm aware of posted today by AJ said this: We're currently pushing out an update to the package/patch management stack and I'm asking for additional testing. The previous repository did not show any new bugs but we fixed a couple of more bugs and made this time a repository with a real patch in it for testing. Please read the text below for instructions. For testing the update stack do the following steps as root: * start yast2 installation source via the yast2 control center or directly as "yast2 inst_source". Add as additional software catalog: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test (or use one of the mirrors once they are updated) and then leave the module via "Finish". It will take some minutes to download data and setup the catalog. IMPORTANT: If you tested my old sources already, you need to download the metadata again (this is not needed afterwards anymore, it's one of the fixes in this new update). Skip this step and go to the next one: * start yast2 online update via the yast2 control center or directly as "yast2 online_update". The patch summary should show a couple of patches and select only the "libzypp update" (with a black mark). Press "Accept" to apply the update. It will take some time to download packages and install them. * You can now remove the software catalog you added in the first step. Use "yast2 inst_source" and delete the catalog. * Restart zmd with "rczmd restart". * Restart the zen-updater applet on your desktop (it will stop itself since zmd gets stopped during the update). * Everything is set now. You can now install further patches with: - the desktop applet zen-updater - the command line tool rug (via rug patches;rug in -t patch <patchname>) - yast2 online_update zen-updater will inform you about new patches.
