Additional package repositories
tagline: From openSUSE
- For official repositories (OSS, non-OSS, Update, Update-Non-OSS) and semiofficial 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 four default repositories: OSS, Non-OSS, Update and Update-Non-OSS. Later on when you familiarize yourself with package management you can add more repositories, such as Packman.
- Please make sure that you actually need a specific repository instead of blindly adding it. More repositories equates to more complexity in terms of software management, which means you will need some experience to avoid problems with your openSUSE operating system. In extreme cases system failure can occur. Please ask for help in #suse on Freenode, the openSUSE forum or the openSUSE mailing list if you are unsure about how to add a repo or are unsure about how to install software from a repo.

Packman
Packman offers various additional packages for openSUSE, especially but not limited to multimedia related applications and libraries that are on the openSUSE Build Service application blacklist. It's the largest external repository of openSUSE packages. Packman is comprised of the following four repositories:
- Essentials: provides codecs and audio and video player applications, to fulfill the most essential needs
- Multimedia: contains many more multimedia related applications
- Extra: additional non multimedia related applications, mostly network related
- Games: obviously, games
The repositories below may be added individually be appending their name to the end of the URLs below. The latter three repositories are built upon Essentials and as such it must be added to utilize them.
