The heart of yup is a bash script, so you have a chance.
The recent versions are always under
.../opensuse/repositories/home:/mge1512/
But you also could run a squid on your solaris machine and let your linux
machine run yup, using the squid server as http proxy.
BTW: nu.novell,com really could not play it's role without yup. I would
have needed more than 10 hours for each system if my servers had run YOU
without my local repository yesterday - kdelibs and java updates on the
same day were far too much load for the central novell uodate servers.
Not the first time...
