And, I have the rpms from a commercial package--I can (and do) install
them from the command line. These will never be in the repos.
Very bad idea to use commercial packages with Tumbleweed, that is asking for trouble.
I will explain, again, how you do this. 1) Create a directory, for example /home/doug/extrarepository/ 2) Copy all the rpms from that commercial thing into that directory. 3) start yast as root in graphic mode: su - yast2 4) Start the "Software repository" module 5) Click the button "Add repository" 6) on the list that appears, click "Local directory", then [next]. 7.0) On "repository name" put whatever you like. 7.1) On path to directory, you write the path (/home/doug/extrarepository/). 7.2) Click on "Plain rpm directory" 7.3) [NEXT] It thinks for a while, and if all goes well, you click [OK]. Now, you have created your own private repository for external packages. Next, install those packages. 1) On YaST, click "Software management module 2) On view, select "repositories". 3.0) On repositories, you will see a list of repositories on the left panel. Select the repository you created. 3.1) On the right panel, you will see the list of packages in that repository. If it is empty, exit YaST, run "zypper refresh --force" and try yast2 again. 3.2) select the package, solve the dependencies if needed, accept and finish. Done. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
