System:Configuration:Install Software calls a title-less YaST2 module
where updating the system is hidden under:
Package:All Packages:Update
cl to the rescue: yast -l
will list the individual yast modules available on your system
interesting modules:
sw_single
update
inst_source
online_update
online_update_setup
the cl is *still* "A Good Thing(TM!)".
I configured it to use the following repositories:
Filter:Repositories:
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/non-oss/
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/
http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/10.3
http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_10.3/
http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/10.3/
http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/SuSE/10.3/
Is this a good choice ?
Yes, but you might as well ask me if you made a good choice when you
wed :^)
Unfortunately i don't see how to edit or change the list there.
And in the Change Log i miss the version names in the list.
I cannot answer for sure, but "inst_source" and "online_update_setup"
would be likely candidates
Updating Channels in Smart-Gui Package Manager is just as awkward,
you are voicing an opinion w/o knowledge. And, for the most part, I
prefer the cl, but the gui is handy at times.
and it lists different addresses:
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/non-oss/
http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/RPM System (no URL)
yes, the ones you configured. the last is what is installed on your
box.
Is the first just an alias of the URL used in Yast ?
do not understand the question???? First what and smart does *not*
use YaST in any manner that I am aware.
What is openSUSE Updater using ?
It currently reports two security updates i don't see in Yast2.
And Yast2 just updated a few apps that Updater did not see.
You can rightly say that i don't understand how to update OpenSuse 10.3,
but i would also say it's a bit of a mess :-)
again, you are making opinionated statements where you lack sufficient
knowledge :^)
Especially in contrast to the professionalism that goes into building
all those updates.
present a scenario and ask specific questions and maybe I/we can
better help you to understand.
