Add a YaST source from Konqueror

Here's a nice tip from the OpenSUSE mailing list.

"I just noticed an hour ago, if you open an FTP link in Konqueror, and
right click, under the actions menu you can choose add as YAST
repository. "

Harryc,

That's one great tip -- keep them comming!

= bookmarked for my suse 10 folder.

Harryc,

I just tried it with:
ftp://packman.inode.at/suse/10.0/x86_64
Worked like a champ!

It evidently will not work with http though:
Tried the http://packman.inode.at/suse/10.0/x86_64 & did not get the option.

Thanks again partner!

Have you tried just ftp://packman.inode.at/suse/10.0/ ?

Well, I spoke too soon. While suse told me that it had added packman as a yast source, when I checked, it had not.

I just tried that & again suse told me that it had added it as an Yast source, but, nada.

I am beginning to think that this feature is not fully functional just yet -- because ftp://packman.inode.at/suse/10.0/ can be added as a yast source.

Snakedriver, I just tried that exact thing on my x86-64 machine and it worked fine.
