Description Tim Fechtner 2006-12-09 15:33:00 UTC
Yast -> Installation source -> Add -> Package directory.

When adding a plain directory this way, then I get an error that syncronizing with zen doesn't work. However, in Yast installing works.

Oh, I'm not sure whether ZENworks support plaindir source at all...

If not then package directory sources should not be synchronized.

(Pkg::SourceGeneralData() returns type of the source, "PlainDir" means plain package directory.)

zmd supports plaindir sources. It's the "rug mount" command.

But I'm not sure whether it makes sense to synchronize these from YaST. It doesn't work the other way round: "rug mount" doesn't add a plaindir source to zypp, but keeps ownership of them for itself (similar to "--type=YUM").

When reporting a bug concerning ZENWorks (ZMD, rug)
please attach also /var/log/zmd-*.log

YaST uses --type=zypp meaning that libzypp-zmd-backend will take care of it.

we will not fix this for 10.3 anymore since ZEN has been dropped for 10.3.
