Artifactory supports Zypper client with rpm repository. However, using this client we can only install the SUSE packages as mentioned below.
Introduction:-
What is Zypper?
Zypper is a command line package manager in OpenSUSE Linux distribution which makes use of libzypp . Zypper provides functions like repository access, dependency solving, package installation, etc.
I have taken myart.jfrog.io as an example. You can replace myart.jfrog.io with your artifactory instance when you try at your end.
1) Create a rpm repository and name it as rpm-remote-suse and point it to http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.1
2) The command to add the Artifactory rpm remote repository and resolve the packages from it.
