Just for the records: I failed to access SLED updates because I could not
add SLED as add-on product to SLES (not that it would make much sense,
just for registering them together with one set of credentials... But I
could not find a URL to add for SLED updates that would ask me for the
registration code...). So I installed SLED on its own and got different 
credentials. I could add SDK to this set, too.

I will just add some code from the old yup to read the values from config
files and everything is fine :-)

I tried to find the mentioned smt 2.0.7 for SLE 11, but searching
on updates.suse.com I get only an iso images for a 1.x version from 2013,
so I couldn't check the migration ability. When SLE 12 is running, I
will definitely take a look at it. However, yup perfectly allows for 
adjusting to our own needs: always keep only the newest rpm versions, 
not fetching patch.rpm etc. is really easy to adjust with changing some 
lines of code :-)

Thanks again for all your help!
cu,
Frank
