Well, as it happens, the directory /usr/share/doc/packages/{package_name} is the standard place for the documentation :-)
Now I know, and very useful information it is. Thanks.

I am having a bit of trouble in installing the new sources that I was given yesterday in this thread, because the responses of the system do not seem entirely consistent. Firstly, I tried to install all three services in the SoftwareUpdates Configuration window (although now on reflection, I think only the "updates" URL belongs there). The responses were as follows: The non-oss URL was added correctly, and now appears as "Active". The oss URL was added too, but now appears as "Pending"; Pending what?. After the same exercise with the update URL, there is a line at the bottom of the window, saying: "Adding ftp://mirrors.netbg.com/opensuse/update/10.2". It doesn't go away, and the rest of the Services window is greyed out. The updates URL is, of course, the one that interests me. I then tried to enter the oss URL in a terminal window. Here is the response of the system: ***** # zypper sa ftp://mirrors.netbg.com/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/oss oss 3437 zmd ZENworks Management Daemon is running. WARNING: this command will not synchronize changes. Use rug or yast2 for that.

Retry [y/n]: ***** Retry does not produce a different result, which is just as well, because I have no clue what to synchronze, or how. Repeating the above with the update URL produces a similar result, except that it is neither YUM nor YaST, so the bit about errors is not present.
