Additional package repositories

Package repositories - Additional package repositories - KDE repositories - GNOME repositories - LXDE repositories - Xfce repositories - Cinnamon repositories - Add package repositories - Vendor change update

This is a list of currently existing third-party repositories, meaning they're external to openSUSE. The packages in the below repositories are not supported by openSUSE, meaning they may not be tested. The repositories listed below can contain beta versions of software and other bleeding edge packages.

• 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.

Warning: Adding additional repositories can sometimes carry risks.

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 above 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.
