But as long as it's still a testing tool the hooks for the gui aren't there.. Or rather they are there but the are setup to work with the release that will come, rather than the test model that is.

I think, more specifically, you may have meant that you were trying to use the GUI (Graphical User Interface) to do the update, since, of course, you can run a command line from X. I believe that when you run the Mandrake Update (to which I think you were referring) it only uses the media labeled updates. If there are no updates available on that specific source you will get the response that everything is already installed. This would be a correct response because all of the updates available on that source are already installed. If you want to update the machine using all available sources: -As root run urpmi.update -a on the command line to make sure urpmi knows what is available for updates -Launch Install Software from the menu and select All packages, by update availability.

I have one and only one source for this machine, my rsync mirror of the sunet.se cooker mirror. What I'm actually trying to do is figure out the awful X interface for package management. I used the one cli command urpmi.addmedia as a shortcut, since I couldn't even figure how to get the X interface to do a single useful update thing. How to I use the X interface to make the original source equal to the updates source? Try this. I don't know if it will work or not. I don't want to screw up my configuration by testing it.

That's what the Mandrake Update tool calls it when you first use it. But that seems (as you and others have said) only to work with final releases. To use it during development you'd have to have some way to identify the updates and save or link them through an actual Updates directory as you find on the mirrors after a release has gone final. In cooker I use a slightly different function; when I choose to use the GUI to update packages, whether from remote sources or from the development tree mirror on the system, I always just go to the (in KDE) ConfigurationPackagingInstall Software then right click the left pane and select Update Media. Then choose the last category All packages...: and using the pull down select by update availability. That will give you two expandable categories; Addable and Upgradable. I'm sure you know which you're looking for, right? g But I'd still prefer to use the command line even after final release. :-) Regards; Charlie - -- Edmonton,AB,Canada User 244963 at http://counter.li.org Cooker on kernel 2.4.22-6mdk 23:15:22 up 1 day, 44 min, 1 user, load average: 0.08, 0.22, 0.20 Love IS what it's cracked up to be. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/XWW1G11CaRuZZSIRAh05AJ4l4jGB0sNfs4W0Z56Mxp/AH5WxSgCfcJ1k ZyDVjE5kvD9xEou4D13c4F0= =vrv5 -END PGP SIGNATURE- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
