[opensuse-factory] 10.3 Community Repositories
What is the procedure to get extra repositories added to openSUSE 10.3's "Community Repositories" module in YaST? In particular I would like to get "network:telephony" added to the list now that Asterisk has been removed from the core distro.

I assume the purpose of the "community repos"-thingy is to help Joe Sixpack, at least it should be. Personally I think that there are too many, and too risky repos there already. I expect that many, many users will go berserk and add everything in there, thinking "just in case" or "why not? whatever could go wrong", "more software must be better than less". If people can run a VoIP-server, they can find a repo and add it manually can't they? Clients are included in the distro. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

The procedure is: not to use "Community Repositories" if you are experienced enough for wanting to add something that is not in the list. Use "Software Repositories" instead. I think "Community Repositories" was invented to make it easier for very newbies(first Suse-Try) to add the very standard repos while installation. It seems not to be intended/useful to be used after installation. I understand your confusion about that, and already posted an enhancement bug against. But there was not the time to do it really good for 10.3 as you can read in bug #298884

If you like it really short type as root: zypper ar <url> network:telephony Attention if it is a valid repo-url is tested later on first use.

Well, you're right. Was it this list or #opensuse where someone asked how to add the build-service-repo as one.
If people can run a VoIP-server, they can find a repo and add it manually can't they? Clients are included in the distro.
But I think it's still not necessary to make it as complicated as possible to find the prefered way to add repos manually.

You're completely wrong. Sorry, but "Community Repositories" is there to pick yor choices of repos after installation. It's far more than the "very standard" repos.

There are two repository lists used by this module, one containing the official repositories during installation, another containing the most popular & relatively reliable repositories for post installation. Regarding the terminology differentiating between the community repositories and software repositories modules is difficult. Perhaps they could be combined in the future. _ Benjamin Weber --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

The best would be to write directly to coolo \at\ suse /dot/ de because he's the one who could decide whether to have it there or not. Lukas
