Hi All!
I newbie in a using of repositories. My system is OpenSuse 13.1, KDE and Yast2->Software Manegment offered me PHP 5.4.20 by default. Then I installed (just downloaded from browser) PHP 5.6.6 and some extentions from here:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php/openSUSE_13.1/i586/
It works fine, but there is the question about a futher automatic updating.
Obviously I should to add a right repository using Yast2->Software Repositories.
How to determine exact** URL** of this repository?
Thanx.

You’re quite right, you should.

The URI for that repository would be:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php/openSUSE_13.1/

You can either add it via the GUI like you are or from the terminal with;


sudo zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php/openSUSE_13.1/server:php.repo

After adding the repository, it will ask you to trust the key, you’ll want to answer Always as long as you trust the repo.

Hint;
You shouldn’t randomly download .rpms from d.o.o but instead add the repository and then install it either via Software Management or with zypper, otherwise it won’t handle the dependencies correctly. And always make sure you are using the right repository for your openSUSE version - do not mix 13.1 and 13.2 repos.

Thank you very much for the qwick response and the valuable hint.
I’ve added the repo through the terminal successfully.
