> Hey everyone,
> 
> I don't know exactly what version I upgaded to, but I was able to upgrade my 
> packages to the latest version at:
> http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/
> 
> via smart.  What I did was I added a Yast2 repository to smart, with the above 
> URL, and I updated it.  It took about 4 hours, and downloaded about a gig of 
> packages, but it worked.  One thing interesting to note is that it didn't 
> work to upgrade with Yum, but Smart was "smart" enough to figure out that it 
> needed to downgrade a package or two (pilot link) to meet all dependencies.
> 
> From what I can tell, quite a few bugs have been fixed, however it broke my 
> WPA connectivity with knetworkmanager.  It wasn't able to connect any more, 
> so I was able to remove the packages and reinstall NetworkManager and 
> knetworkmanager, wpa_supplicant and friends from again, and all worked fine 
> and dandy.
> 
> So as far as I can tell so far, it is possible to upgrade via Smart :)
> 
> Thanks Pascal Bleser for the tip on trying out smart.  It's my new favorite 
> package manager... it does everything right that I had always griped about 
> yum.

> This is probably a big big dirty hack?  If I'm doing something incredibly 
> wrong, someone please advise me.
