    We are going to attempt to explain the new packman repository layout. Some things you should know:

    • Packman is a complete source of multimedia (except libdvdcss)
    • It can now be divided in 4 sections or more typically added as one complete repo
      • The divisions if you want to use Packman that way, are:
        • Essentials
        • Extra
        • Games
        • Multimedia







    • Packman is mirrored in different locations. You can see more about that here:

    Multimedia Playback
