You will have to modify the script if you want to use it to add a source.
Well one hates to seem like an idiot, but exactly what is the point of these scripts if when one does exactly what the page says (cut, paste, execute) they fail -- and apparently the only way to find out how to modify them is to make one's idiocy public by posting questions here?
It used to work; presently, it's broken.
I'll try to make the changes you suggest in the rest of your post, but it all seems pretty bizarre that Mdk provides this urpmi program and then provides scripts that only work after being edited rather than by simply following the instructions on the web site.
Yes, it is not optimal. Stuff happens. People try to find solutions and report to those who can fix it. Seems there is a bit of 'sweat equity' required to best enjoy this (I daresay, any) distribution of software, at the present time. The good news is that there are resources for discovering the efforts you need to make and no limit to what you can see of it or do with it.
I was also able to add a club_comm source by typing drakclub at a root prompt and following that route.
Hmmm.... I can find no reference to a command called "drakclub" on the club download page or in the "Definitive Manual". Where (and HOW!) is one supposed to find out about this stuff?
Drakclub has been discussed in Mandrake Club since at least March: http://www.mandrakeclub.com/article.php?sid=568 and there are many more references to it to be found by the Search function. I am also aware of it by reading the cooker list and there are probably other sources, such as the newsletters sent by email. You can access this function by going to Configuration > Other > Discover Custom services in the menu.
