Scoring apt-usage on RH and on SuSEScoring apt-usage on RH and on SuSEPosted Nov 29, 2003 2:27 UTC (Sat) by agill (guest, #17301)In reply to: Scoring apt-usage on RH and on SuSE by jasonlotito Parent article: The Great Package Management Experiment "In fact, YaST is perfectly capable of handling non SuSE distributed RPM's, such as those from usr-local-bin." I was talking to a SuSE employee on IRC and I was told that YaST can't use 3rd party software repositories and that I should try to stick to SuSE provided RPMs or use something like apt for suse. I like to create my own RPMs for certain software and store them on my local ftp server. Could you please provide some links to documents describing how to coerce YaST into displaying my custom software from my local server? "Upgrading is just as easy too. It's just a matter of getting the new CD, putting it in, and upgrading." Hmm but what if I want to update a remote server? I don't have anything against SuSE but that's one thing I really like about Debian. Two commands have allowed me to upgrade remote computers from one version of the OS to another.
