Ysgrifennodd Peter Bradley:
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
I hope that no-one will mind if I reply to this to bring it back up the
list. I suspect it got lost in the holiday traffic: so if anyone does
have any suggestions, I'd be very pleased to hear.
Many thanks.
Peter
