Installing smart

In order to install smart, you must satisfy the dependencies: rpm-python and python-gtk for the smart gui. You can install smart via YaST, or other package managers such as apt or yum. Make sure you have your YaST sources set, or other package manager set, with the appropriate YaST, or yum, or apt repositories.

Supported Sources

  • RPM repositories
  • RPM System Database (locally installed packages)
  • APT repositories for .rpm
  • YaST repositories (SuSE 9.3 and below (this is in testing))
  • RPM-MD (used by YUM)
  • Red Carpet (used by Ximian/Novell)
  • RPM Header List (used by RedHat and Conectiva installation CDs, probably others)
  • RPM Directory (a directory with a bunch of RPMs in it, no indexing required)
