download.opensuse.org is a Redirector whose functionality relies on all the other, real mirrors. > YAST won't let me add a source There is still the Alpha4 version of YaST/zypp on your system, which is very old. > I managed to rpm apt after failing with smart, You can't reasonably install smart from Factory now because it is a Python application and Python has been upgraded from 2.4 to 2.5. You would have to replace *all* Python packages manually. Same for yum. *If* you're going to try smart, you need the smart build from the original Alpha4 media, not from Factory. > but I can't figure out how to configure apt for factory. First, you need an apt package that understands the "repomd" format (in Factory there is still a version which doesn't support repomd and not a single apt user requested to change this, why?), and then you need a line like this in /etc/apt/sources.list: repomd http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse (the above is all one line, the whitespace in the middle of the URL is not an error) You can find a repomd-enabled build of apt here: http://repos.opensuse.org/home:/rbos It seems that there are no packages for Factory. But the ones built for 10.1 should probably work. You need "apt" and "apt-libs", both in exactly the same version. > Google gives me all kinds of garbage other than > what I need searching for 'apt-get configuration suse factory', > including how to configure smart. :-p Configuring smart for Factory is not different from the generic configuration. Create a file named "factory.channel" on your Desktop with the content [factory] type = yast2 name = Factory baseurl = http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source and import it using the command smart channel --add $HOME/Desktop/factory.channel Of course you can use a different mirror. Otherwise I recommend calming down and not getting too frustrated on this.
