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 four different repositories for the available distributions:

URL Distribution Remark
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/medical/openSUSE_11.0/ openSUSE 11.0
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/medical/openSUSE_11.1/ openSUSE 11.1
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/medical/openSUSE_11.2/ openSUSE 11.2

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

Development Repositories

Warning
These repositories are recommended for developers and testers only. Packages in these repositories change often and can be broken. So be warned!

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.
