I finally got my SUMA upgraded to 2.1 and migrated my database over from Oracle to postgres. An additional task I would like to do is add the openSUSE 13.2 repos in SUMA along with manage some of my openSUSE 13.2 hosts.

Is this possible? How would one go about adding these and creating client bootstrap files?

Hi  
I did do it with 13.1, had to build the various packages for the  
bootstrap repo and fiddle with the bootstrap script. I have yet to do  
it for 13.2 since I’m looking at moving my instance of SUSE Manager to  
real hardware instead of a VM. The other issue with the openSUSE repos  
was filtering out all the 32bit cruft since I only have 64bit hardware.

So, in the first instance look at  
/srv/www/htdocs/pub/repositories/sle/12/0/bootstrap

Then duplicate the rpms in the above directory for 13.2 then use  
createrepo to generate a proper repository in something like;

/srv/www/htdocs/pub/repositories/openSUSE/13/2

Here are the changes I made to the bootrap script;
