But what is the difference with normal Yast installer?
Good question.
I thought that one only had to add the source-url into Yast2, to add the
repo....(that is the way I allways did it..and still do.)
Indeed, this doesn't replace any of the traditional way of doing
things, it merely provides a way to automate it. So when someone asks
how to install multimedia codecs the process would normally go
something like:
Q: How do I play mp3s in my suse?
A: Add the packman repository to yast and install libxine1 if you're
using amarok
Q: What's a repository?
A: <explanation of repository>
Q: How do I do that?
A: yast -> installation sources -> add -> specify url , paste <packman url here>
Q: Now what? how do I install the package
A: yast -> software management -> search for libxine1, select it, click accept.
Q: Now how do I get $other programme to play mp3s?
etc....
This would provide a way to turn all the above into "click this link,
and click next"
It doesn't replace anything, merely automates it, the repositories are
still added as sources to yast (can be only temporary).
Hope that clarifies things.
