I'm a little confused about the repos

English Applications
1

I searched gsopcast and found that it’s located here:

http://tinyurl.com/6rk6vl

It’s not in my package manager though. Is this because it is a 3rd
party repo that can’t be enabled locally?

Also

I have seen the “Software Sources” application but I can’t figure out
what is official and what is not. Are the official sources located
elsewhere?

Sorry for the stupid questions but I am used to apt and not rpm.

Any help or comments would be really appreciated!

Anything else I need to know? Any advice!

Thanks in advance!

you can add the repo by the url
give it whatever Name you want, just copy and paste the url. But the
one you give needs to be like this to add. You are using 10.3 then??
‘Index of /repositories/home:/allau/openSUSE_10.3’
(http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/allau/openSUSE_10.3/)

Thanks for your quick reply. I think was just confused by 3rd party
repos being on the official site.

No 11, sorry, I probably pasted the wrong link. I can sort that out.
