No, not really. The problem is simply that the packagers are not putting the correct paths in the smart metadata. Packages are being made for 10.1 and the meta files are being copied over as-is for the 10.0 branch. Which doesn't work... :(
Smart itself works fine.
Sooooo......who are these packagers ????. And how do we notiy them that the packages are screwed up?? Novell??? SuSE ??? And how do we get them fixed?
This is indeed a big problem. When I look at the repos directory, I get a nice page with the package names, dates, and other interesting package links. But no names. No maintainer. No place to provide constructive info about a repos problem. This is not a forward looking solution. Even an e-mail link to someone would be nice.
I guess everyone is anonymous.
For the packman repo's you can contact them at packman@links2linux.de I'm sure there are similar e-mail addresses for the other maintainers if you check their websites. Phil
