Are you - like me - feeling uncomfortable with the new dumb interface of the YaST module devoted to the package management ?
Well, relax … you still can install the Smart Package Manager quick and easy ! Just open a shell with administrative rights and do:
zypper sa -r http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/smart/openSUSE_10.3/smart.repo
zypper ref smart
zypper install smart
Then you have to add some repository to it, and for this we will use the Pascal’s pre-made file linked inside the example (you can create a personal config file following that syntax, if you want/need):
smart channel --add http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/files/smart/opensuse-10.3.txt
smart mirror –add http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/files/smart/mirrors-eu.txt
smart update
Remember …. the guru’s repository is slowly merging into Packman!
