What about repomd'ing everything that suse provides. Think about suse-people, suse-projects directories. But also provide similar repodata repositories for kotd, mozilla, wine and last but not least security updates!!! > (However there is > one issue with this approach: The YOU trees contain scripts, which would > only be accessible if SMART / $other_package_manager would implement the > methods to access the metadata / patch description stuff of the YOU trees. > I'm pretty sure APT isn't / wasn't able to access those parts of the > updates either.) See above this would be awesome to have, but if I was in charge of moving things from an apt repository to repodata I would put this somewhere on the bottom of my TODO list. Christoph any idea when we can have a repomd repository originated at suse similar to the apt repository? A new structure on the server can be created like apt: ..../suse/apt ..../suse/rmd/10.0-i586/ rmd = repomd or repo metadat (that is its official name) This directory can contain links to e.g. packman -> misc/packman/suse-10.0 suser-rbos -> ~misc/apt4rpm/10.0 base -> /ftp/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source/suse update -> where are the updates located? It would be nice to see something happening in this direction... -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
