Re: [SLE] Where does yast keep its list of installation sources? [SOLVED]

You can use Yast itself to import/export...

Look in the directories below /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager

Wow.

I had seen those dirs while searching, but had not grokked
what was going on. I was looking for a single config file;
evidently there is no such thing.

What I really wanted was a way to back up the list of URLs
for the sources I had defined, since it has taken me some
time to get that list together. Here's how I got that list:

$ grep -h URL /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/*/*/description

You can redirect the output to a file to save your list.

Note: a more correct form of the above command would be:

$ grep -h
URL /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/IS_CACHE_*/DESCRIPTION/description

This is better because it is more specific about exactly which
files we want to look in. But the shorter form should be safe
(at least until SUSE adds another file named 'description' to
those directories).

Warm regards,
Robert
