They can be used to extend your openSUSE installation with software that is not included in an openSUSE release for size or policy reasons, or to update it with newer software versions that were not available at the time of release. [Note: there are offline repositories as well (ie: DVD). ] Repositories may contain software of any trust level and may replace important system packages as well as adding new software. In addition, by combining many different repositories and installing their software, conflicts between software versions may arise which cause some packages to be uninstalled. Before registering arbitrary repositories to your openSUSE installation, you should consider these risks. The repositories suggested by the Community Repositories list in YaST's Installation Sources module are intended to be safe and free of conflicts. However, when installing or updating software you should always look at the proposed changes to make sure nothing is being added or removed that could compromise the integrity of your installation. If in doubt, do not continue. ==Debug packages== To help improve openSUSE, you can report bugs when a program crashes. The Dr Konqi application can install additional debug packages to improve the quality of this crash information. For openSUSE releases, these packages are contained in a separate repository due to their size. This repository is safe to add. [Note: this is not clear since you don't mention that safe repositiory] ==Multimedia Software== Support for proprietary formats and codecs is not shipped out-of-the box in openSUSE. Please see the [http://software.opensuse.org/codecsCodecspage] for more information on enabling proprietary formats.
