Further to my earlier post, Lance asked how to add the repository to his available list.. This is just a simple guide without pretty pictures, the are more detailed and prettier instructions on the openSUSE Wiki. I will endeavour to get a better guide up, it will probably be on the wiki rather than here.

From the command line (as root):
rug service-add http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/FunkyPenguin/[YourDistro] --type=ZYPP "FunkyPenguin-Bongo" or [whatever you would like to call it]


In YaST:
Select Software > Installation Source > Add > HTTP
For Server Name put
software.opensuse.org/
For Directory put
download/home:/FunkyPenguin/[YourDistro]

From ZEN Updater:
Select Configure > Add Service > Select either ZYPP or Auto detect for the Service Type. Enter the following for the Service URI: http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/FunkyPenguin/[YourDistro]. Enter FunkyPenguin-Bongo or [whatever you would like to call it] for the Service Name.

Or you could use SMART and the .repo file and open the file from within SMART or use one of the above options from within SMART.

If anyone uses any of the other package managers, please let me know how to use it with the repo.
