To manage repositories, start YaST and select Software > Software Repositories. The
Congured Software Repositories dialog opens. Here, you can also manage subscrip-
tions to so-called Services by changing the View at the right corner of the dialog to
All Services. A Service in this context is a Repository Index Service (RIS) that can
oer one or more software repositories. Such a Service can be changed dynamically
by its administrator or vendor.
Each repository provides les describing content of the repository (package names,
versions, etc.). These repository description les are downloaded to a local cache
that is used by YaST. To ensure their integrity, software repositories can be signed
with the GPG Key of the repository maintainer. Whenever you add a new repository,
YaST oers the ability to import its key.
WARNING: Trusting External Software Sources
Before adding external software repositories to your list of repositories, make
sure this repository can be trusted. openSUSE is not responsible for any potential
problems arising from software installed from third-party software repositories.
5.4.1 Adding Software Repositories
You can either add repositories from a local harddisk, from a removable medium
(like a CD, DVD or a USB mass storage) or from a network.
To add repositories from the Congured Software Repositories dialog in YaST proceed
as follows:
1 Click Add.
2 From the list of available Media Types specify the type matching your reposi-
tory:
For network sources, it is usually sucient to use the default option, Specify
URL.
To add a repository from a removable medium or a local harddisk, choose the
relevant option and insert the medium or connect the USB device to the ma-
chine, respectively.
3 You can choose to Download Repository Description Files now. If the option
is unchecked, YaST will automatically download the les later, if needed. Click
Next to proceed.
4 When adding a repository from the network, enter the data you are prompted
for. Continue with Next.
5 Depending on the repository you have added, you might be asked if you want
to import the GPG key with which it is signed or asked to agree to a license.
