[Xastir] openSUSE 10.2 CVS Success

Hi all, I hit paydirt on a CVS installation for openSUSE 10.2.

I'll have to do a HowTo on this - one thing I liked about openSUSE vs.
Ubuntu was not needing to edit or use the get-maptools script.

One key was pointing the package manager, YaST, toward the right
repositories.  I just did YaST searches on all the pertinent packages such
as GraphicsMagick, pcre, Berkeley, etc. and managed to find them all.

I never could have done it without the info in the installation notes for
openSUSE in the Wiki.  The info there didn't exactly apply to version 10.2,
but it got me into the servers where I could look around and find the
10.2equivalent locations.  The two below are the ones that were
translated into
10.2 versions from the installation notes that show 10.0/10.1 locations.

ftp://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/src-oss/suse
http://dg7gt.osth.de/openSUSE_10.2/

I left ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/ham/10.0-i386/ intact since there
were no other releases designated.

Because I had done the original installation from the Colorado server, which
was a random choice, I also included the following for good measure, but
it's probably redundant to the tds server above:

ftp://mirror.colorado.edu/pub/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/src-oss/suse
