Question yum repository for suse 10.1


Hello

Could somebody point me to a "Suse 10.1 based" yum repository? All the ones I've found are "Fedora based".

Let me explain a little more:
When I try to install a package using yum, it fails because it starts looking at something like
http:/ /rpm.greysector.net/yum/$releasever/$basearch/
where $releasever is my distribution version (i.e. 10.1) but the Fedora version range from 3 to 5 so the xml file (containing the content of the repository) it's looking for is not found and thus stops.

Alternatively:
Is their a rpm installer other then yum for Suse that could solve (i.e. download and install) any dependencies needed by the desired package?

Thanks
w.

Check the first Sticky it will list the repo's for you.

http://download.opensuse.org/distrib...ss-inst-source
http://download.opensuse.org/distrib...1/inst-source/

Are for the Installation Sources

protocol - HTTP
server name - packman.iu-bremen.de
Directories - suse/10.0
suse/10.1

protocol - HTTP
- FTP
server name - ftp.gwdg.de
Directories - pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/10.0
- pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/10.1


There are some other additional installation sources.

Edit, I would delete what I just wrote, because I re-read what you asked and you asked for "YUM" specific repositories. I believe Packman is YUM. Are you looking for YUM installation source repo's?

Go here:
http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/rpm-...=/System/smart

Install smart. It is better then Yum and it can handle multiple repostory types. Yast, Yum, Apt-get, Red Carpet, CD/DVD, plain directory are all handled well by Smart.

No I'm not really looking for source repos, at least not for the time being. I'm just trying to get thing working on my laptop.
