Flagged Catalogs which can be mirrored

Because of this faulty synchronization attempt I couldn’t see SLES10 SP3 when I run smt-catalogs.

After long struggles I found out that modifing /etc/suseRelease.conf file is solving the problem.

Simply replace the line

url=https://your_smt_server_hostname/center/regsvc

with

url=https://secure-www.novell.com/center/regsvc

Probably, when you run smt-ncc-sync command after this change, you won’t get Internal Server Errors.

After a clear smt-ncc-sync, SLES10-SP3 lines will appear while smt-catalogs.

Now it’s time to enable mirroring for relevant architectures by typing

smt-catalogs -e SLES10-SP3-Updates
