Additional package repositories - KDE Repositories - GNOME Repositories - Add package repositories


Geeko This is a list of currently existing third-party repositories, meaning they're external to openSUSE. These packages are not supported by openSUSE, the packages may not be tested and the repositories can contain beta versions and other bleeding edge packages.


For official repositories (OSS, non-OSS, updates) and semi official repositories (including KDE, GNOME and Java repositories) see Package Repositories.

For information on how to add package repositories see Add Package Repositories.



Warning
Use at your own risk. Please make sure you actually need/want a specific repository instead of blindly adding it. It is also recommended that you stick to the 3 default repositories (OSS, Non-OSS, Update) and Packman. By adding more and more, you can create repository, and subsequently package conflicts.

This repository provides

  • Security and network related packages with enhancements
  • Linux kernel; functional realtime extension and Netfilter developments for state-of-the-art firewalls. Prebuilt NVIDIA packages available.
J.eng does not have a repository in the OBS, so whatever you find there is not his work, or at best, a copy. If in doubt, check the RPM tags (Vendor, Packager, Signature).

  • instant-messaging packages (last versions of aMSN, pidgin, etc.)
  • Grub-GFXboot (For help, check this =63732 page)

JPackage

JPackage contains many Java software packages for Linux.

The jpackage yum access doesn't work very well with yast. Some of their rpm descriptions are buggy and the opensuse package parser fails with a warning. If you get an error, use smart instead, the only tool that seems to handle jpackage properly.

smart channel --add jpackage type=apt-rpm name="JPackage free" baseurl=MIRROR/1.7/generic components=free fingerprint=1F81C0FBC2B822B3DE1233A45C6CFFF7C431416D
