Repositories

From openSUSE-Community

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 repositories
• The Packman repository

[edit] Enabling the Repositories

The following links below are guides on how to add the repositories in your respective openSUSE version:

• For openSUSE 11.2, see Repositories/11.2
• For openSUSE 11.1, see Repositories/11.1
• For openSUSE 11.0, see Repositories/11.0
• 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 repositories available through the openSUSE Build Service. Information on adding package repositories 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
• openSUSE Build Service
• Packman repository
