Mmmm.... why is that not under "/pub/opensuse/repositories"?
?? it is in the old suser's directory which still has new packages
Because the other is the official one.
And why is the link not pointed at in http://en.opensuse.org/Released_Version#Metalink?

[Annoyed mode on] The people there want us to use metalink to download the new 10.2 version, but they do not provide an rpm for a working metalink client (or they are silent about it). They must be using the factory version of 10.2 where there is obviously one and therefore do not see the need to provide one for us lowly users :-/
There is no src tree to check how they compiled it. I can not see if it has metalink support compiled in.
And it has unsolved dependencies:
nimrodel:~ # rpm --test --install /xtr/cer/download/updates/10.1/suse-guru/aria2-0.9.0-1.guru.suse101.i686.rpmwarning: /xtr/cer/download/updates/10.1/suse-guru/aria2-0.9.0-1.guru.suse101.i686.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 58857177 error: Failed dependencies: libcares.so.1 is needed by aria2-0.9.0-1.guru.suse101.i686
It does not say which rpm has that libcares.so.1: it is not part of the SuSE 10.1 distro, that I can vouch for.
you _need_ to import the gpg key as with any signed location.
I know that. Didn't you notice the --test in the command line? I simply haven't bothered about that part yet.
And you do know guru.
No, I don't. I have never used it. I compile my own extras, I only use ready made ones if on a hurry or if it is too complex.
c-ares containes libcares and is available in the same location.
And how on earth was I to know that libcares.so.1 is included in c-ares? The nice thing about rpms is that they solve the dependency problem telling you straight away which other rpms are needed to install this one. It is absurd to say that a certain file is needed without specifying the exact rpm needed. All that tells me that it was unreliable built, combined with the fact that they do not provide the src.rpm I don't like that repository :-(
I can not install it.
for what reason??
[I am still in annoyed mode ;-) ] Because of unsolved dependencies. You knew, somehow, which other rpm I needed, but not me - and I'm not a newbie, am I? ;-) I had a look at the c-ares rpm. It is a fork of "ares" for the particular use of the "curl" project. It is optionally needed by "aria2" because: | In order to enable async DNS support, you need c-ares or ares. | c-ares: http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/c-ares/ | ares: ftp://athena-dist.mit.edu/pub/ATHENA/ares I don't want to install that one, and I still want to compile aria2 - or an official rpm for aria2. I will have a look at "wxDownload Fast" instead. [...] I can't... | Unable to connect | | Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at | prdownloads.sourceforge.net.
