Additional YaST Package Repositories

From openSUSE

Revision as of 22:23, 4 October 2005

Warning

YaST fully trusts installation sources and does not perform any kind of authenticity verification on the contained packages. So be careful when adding installation sources on the Internet.

A list of currently existing third-party YaST repositories. Novell cool solutions have described extensively how to use them.

Hosted on ftp.suse.com

• International mirrors for the released versions. Just pick one and add it as a source.
• Mirror for the development build. Just pick one and add it as a source.
• Installing Java on SUSE Linux.
• Current KDE versions can be installed for released SUSE Linux distributions. You need to add the yast-source directory to the YaST source manager. It also exists for the AMD64 architecture.
• Current GNOME versions are available as well.
• Misc contains various smaller applications.

Update Packages without a YaST Repository

• Various projects provide RPMs without a YaST repository.
• The Kernel of the Day is the most recent SUSE Linux kernel.

External YaST Repositories

These repositories are not under the control of a SUSE employee. If you are interested in creating a repository for your site, read the Installation Sources manual for information.

To add the External YaST Repositories, open YaST, go to Change Source of Installation and press Add. There, first select the protocol and, on the next page, enter the server and the directory as listed below. Make sure that the directory matches your version (e.g., do not use suse/10.0 if you actually have SUSE 9.3)
