Christoph, I've looked in smart's home site for this but cannot find it 
so could you please tell me how you arrived at the "type=rpm-md" above? 
That is, how does one determine what the TYPE is for any channel?

I want to add 
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/ 
and don't know if the type is yast2 or rpm-md or even something else.

Cheers.
