How to add a specific repository with Yast?

English Applications
#1

Hello,
I´m trying to experiment a little bit and installed the following package. But as far as I understood, I need to add the repository in order to receive the updates. I tried almost every URL combination in Yast, but I ´m always getting the error that there is no repository at the specified URL.
Could anyone please point me to the correct URL to add?

Here is the Package:
https://ibb.co/427BSR5

I tried for example to add: https://build.opensuse.org/home:Sauerland or https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Sauerland:/hardware/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/x86_64/ (and other URLs) but as I said, Yast doesn´t accept it.

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi
The next level up…


https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Sauerland:/hardware/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/

The one where you can see the repodata directory and must have the trailing / at the end.

Oh ok, thank you very much! I also reduced the priority to 98 just in case the hardware will be supported natively by Linux in the future. I hope my understanding of the priority is correct.

Hi
It won’t make a difference as vendor stickiness is active, once switched it will stay with that repository unless you change the zypper configuration or add the --allow-vendor-change option with zypper.

Understood! Thank you again!

And its maybe a little bit better to give it a lower Priority (higher number) as the OSS, Update and Packman Repo, specially the last one has the same broadcom-wl and r8168 packages…

Priority 98 is actually higher than default priority 99; mozilla has highest priority 80:
