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, Update, Update-Non-OSS) 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.
  • For new Linux and openSUSE users it is recommended to use the 4 default repositories (OSS, Non-OSS, Update, Update-Non-OSS) and Packman. Later on when you familiarize yourself with package management you can add more.
  • Please, make sure that you actually need a specific repository instead of blindly adding it. More repositories means more complexity in software management and needs some experience to avoid problems and, in extreme cases, system failure.
Warning Use it at your own risk.

[edit] Packman

Packman offers various additional packages for openSUSE, especially but not limited to multimedia related applications and libraries. It's the largest external repository of openSUSE packages.

The Packman project provides four repositories that may be added individually:

  • Essentials: provides codecs and audio and video player applications, to fulfil the most essential needs
  • Multimedia: contains many more multimedia related applications
  • Extra: additional non multimedia related applications, mostly network related
  • Games: obviously, games

Note that the three latter repositories are built upon and require Essentials and, hence, if you add e.g. the Multimedia repository, you MUST also add the Essentials repository.

Essentials is built for openSUSE 11.2 to 12.2, Factory, Tumbleweed and Evergreen (11.1, 11.2), while the other repositories are only built for openSUSE 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, 12.1 and 12.2

A list of repository mirrors is available on the Packman site.

Note that for reasons of convenience and personal preference, Packman also provides, for each distribution, a single repository that aggregates all the packages in the above mentioned repositories.

Here is how to add the Packman repository for your distribution -- using Essentials and Multimedia in this example, where applicable (Factory, Tumbleweed and Evergreen_11.1 don't have Multimedia):

Version: FactoryEssentials
