Details

Often I would find that I couldn't remember the URLs of the different external installation sources. So I created two scripts that would allow me to export and import installation sources into YAST.

exp.sh
syntax: exp.sh exportfile
exportfile being the file you wish to create that contains a list of all the installation sources you wish to export

imp.sh
syntax: imp.sh exportfile
exportfile being the file that contains a list of sources you wish to import

• Great, I'm using SUSE 10 OSS and it works like a charm. Thank you very much, no more typing!
• This is really cool solution ,working perfect & saved a long time for add yast sources back again after clean install
• Completely useless. Binary/script file installation_sources does not exist.
• Sorry about that, installation_sources is coming back from the dead soon. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=163737
