*sigh*
can we please stop spreading false informations?
the common repos format they all support is rpm-md. (dunno if the apt in
the distro is already recent enough. but richard has an up2date package
for sure)
yast2+libzypp | Yast2, rpm-md
smart | Yast2, rpm-md
y2pmsh | Yast2, rpm-md
zmd+libzypp | Yast2, rpm-md
yum | rpm-md
apt | rpm-md, apt
as most sources should ship with rpm-md files you can happily add them
everywhere. If you use multiple tools concurrently, you need to add the
sources to each of them.
