Hi there, how do I add an SDK repository on the command line (both SLES 10 and 11)? I tried the following: SLES10: ```auto rug sub --strict --service http://smt/ SLE10-SDK-SP4-Pool ``` It says ERROR: ‘SLE10-SDK-SP4-Pool’ is not a valid catalog in the specified service [http://smt/](http://smt/). ```auto rug ca ``` does not show the SDK, even though it’s available on the SMT server. I could also use ```auto rug sa -t ZYPP http://user@smt/repo/\\$RCE/SLE10-SDK-SP4-Pool/sles-10-x86_64 SLE10-SDK-SP4-Pool ``` but this adds an entire service instead of only a catalog of the already existing SMT service. I feel that is not right. SLES11: Here I can use ```auto zypper ar -t yum -n SLE11-SDK-SP1-Pool http://smt/repo/\\$RCE/SLE11-SDK-SP1-Pool/sle-11-x86_64/ SMT-http_smt:SLE11-SDK-SP1-Pool ``` But, Yast does not show ```auto Service: SMT-http_smt ``` in the repository details for that repository, however all repositories from the SMT added via yast will have that line. Is that bad? What is the difference? Thanks for any info or documentation you might have on that subject. ---

I don’t have a direct answer to your questions, but this is how I remove and add repositories in SLES 11 with zypper: Add repository Mine is via nfs, but I’m sure an http path would work just as well: ```auto zypper ar nfs://192.168.20.22/sles11sp1/SLE-11-SP1-SDK-DVD-x86_64-GM-DVD1 sles11sp1_sdk ``` List repositories [CODE] myhost:~ # zypper lr # | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh –±-------------------------------------------------±-------------------------------------------------±--------±------- 1 | sles11sp1\_sdk | sles11sp1\_sdk | Yes | No[/CODE] Remove repository ```auto zypper rr 1 ``` I believe you can also specify by alias, e.g. “zypper rr sles11sp1\_sdk”. Hope this helps.
