OpenSUSE-Medical/Repitories

From openSUSE

Select the right Repository

The openSUSE-Medical Team has "unstable" and "stable" repositories.

• The "stable" repositories are highly recommended for use in production enviroments (like doctor's practice and clinical use).
• The "unstable" repositories contain the most up to date packages - but might be broken.

Stable Repositories

Currently you can find different repositories for the available distributions:

These repositories contain at least the official packages listed on the OpenSUSE-Medical Applications page (including LTSP). The packages are compiled for the specific distribution and shouldn't be installed on other systems.

Unstable Repositories

We use the openSUSE Build Service for development. So the resulting packages have a different signing (see below) and the repositoriy doesn't have the patterns and additional Metadata like the stable repositories - and it might be broken sometimes.

Please have a look at our main development repository:

and choose the right distribution directory.

If you click on the "repodata" in the subdirectory, you'll see the content of the repository and the packages. (Have a look at the 11.0 repodata for example). You can choose and download single packages here - or add the full repository as described below
