It's time I got this business of adding installation sources to YaST
thing sorted.
I'd really like to install the latest versions of Mono and Monodevelop,
so I went to the web site, which advises SUSE uses to add the
installation source:
http://go-mono.com/download-stable/suse-100-x86_64
to YaST.
In YaST --> Software --> Installation Source, I clicked on add --> http
and, in the dialog that appears added the following details:
Server Name: go-mono.com
Directory on server: download-stable/suse-100-x86_64
After clicking OK in the dialog, it went away and thought about it for a
while and then added 27 identical URLs to the list in the Software
source media dialog. The URLs added are all listed (immediately after
the line specifying my installation DVD source) as:
http://go-mono.com/download-stable/suse-100-x86_64
(which, I guess, is what you'd expect except that I was only expecting
it to add a single line)
I then turned refresh on for each of these entries and clicked Finish.
Back in the YaST Control Centre I chose Software Management. YaST then
tried to refresh each of these sources. On every attempt, the error
message:
ERROR(InstSrc:E_no_instsrc_on_media)
was displayed. Very user friendly, I thought :-)
When I eventually got back to YaST, nothing from this installation
source appeared to be displayed (i.e. there was nothing I could see that
indicated that I had any version of Mono available to me except 1.1.8x
that I had from the installation DVD, and which I had uninstalled prior
to adding the new source). The source column in YaST was empty in all
cases.
Finally, just for the heck of it, I turned refresh off and tried again.
The result was the same.
Does anyone know what the undoubtedly obvious thing is that I've missed?
Thanks,
Peter
