Repositories
From openSUSE-Community

[edit] Repositories
There are a few third-party software repositories available that provide many more packages, as well as some non-free formats which may be of use. We recommend that you enable these to get a fuller Operating System experience with openSUSE. We tend to recommend enabling:
- The full online openSUSE Source
- The Packman Source
[edit] Enabling the Repositories
The following links below are guides on how to add the sources in your respective openSUSE version:
- For openSUSE 10.3, see Repositories/10.3
- For openSUSE 10.2, see Repositories/10.2
- For SUSE Linux 10.1, see Repositories/10.1
- For SUSE Linux 10.0, see Repositories/10.0
After you have followed the guide there you will want to take a look at the Restricted Formats page for setting up the relevant codecs.
[edit] Mirrors
Throughout the tutorials/instructions on these pages we are going to be adding all package repositories using skynet's excellent mirror (http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/), so that you will get faster download rates. You can however choose a mirror closer to you for each package source, and there's a handy list available at the links above.
[edit] Build Service
Note also that there are many sources available through the openSUSE Build Service. Information on adding package sources from the build service can be seen at Build_Service/User.
[edit] Web Package Search
There is a complete and comprehensive search of:
- the online openSUSE repositories
- Packman repository
- Guru repository
- openSUSE Build Service
