Also, I find folders for "Archiving:" and "editors" and "Banshee" and so on -- am I supposed to go through each and add them individually as a repo, or is there a single repo or something which sort of includes all these? Why are they classified like these into categories, in the first place? Do I need to add them, or are these just the software that was already installed on my system?
Each of these are individual projects, which are maintained by individuals outside of the openSUSE distribution. As a result, they might have their own release schedules, different packaging layouts, etc. from the upstream distro. Heck, they might even be completely broken. :) There isn't (at present, anyway) an Ubuntuesque concept of a "universe" repository, which is more or less a dumping ground for whatever packages people want. Although the multiple repositories might be a little harder to use(*), it does mean that you get only the software you're interested in, and is less likely to break your system. Joe (*) IMO, it's only harder to use right now because it lacks a search interface. Once it has one of those, that lets you search by project name, package name, and inside package descriptions, it'll be a whole lot easier to find specific pieces of software. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
