[opensuse] Yast and repositories
In 10.3, Yast had a list of many popular community repositories that you could enable. Just to make life that one bit easier. Did I miss something, or did this go missing in 11.0? I think the Yast ICON was called something obvious like "Communiry Repositories". I do not think I have missed installing a Yast module for this. Is the new method that you should go to the opensuse web page with lists of repositories and add them there? Of course that works, but it seems to be a regression. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

It is like talking about large city with all constructions finished. Not impossible, but very unlikely. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It's still there, except that it no longer has its own icon. Go to: Yast2 > Software > Software repositories Once in the Software Repositories screen, click the Add button. A new screen should open, prompting you for the media type. The second radio button from the top reads "Community Repositories". Select that and click "Next". That should provide you with a list of repos not yet in your subscribed list. This is on OS11 with KDE 3.5, don't know if it's the same with KDE 4.1.

Ahhh. I would have been surprised if such a thing had been abandoned. I see that it downloads a list of repositories as well. So it can be up-to-date. This may have been something for the release notes. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
