In moving from packman and packman essential, I am down to only a few packages remaining. In looking Yast software manager there seems to be no other source repo to change these files to.
I really don’t know what any of these do and whether they will ever get an update. Perhaps just let them be?
Any advice? thanks, tom kosvic

I have videolan repo included and enabled when I made the lists posted above. In Yast software, it does not offer an alternative version from videolan for any of the listed packages.
For reference here’s my repo list.

Mistake showing packman–all and packman–essentials enabled. That was only for a test I was doing. Normally both are disabled.
So what wifi card are you using, use modinfo to see what if any firmware is needed…
All the others, delete and see what works or doesn’t with whichever app.
I suppose I could spring for $20 to get a usb wifi if this is completely out of date.

In Yast software manager, I did a dry-run remove for each package from my above list installed from packman and the removal of each package did not call for the removal of any additional packages. I think these are all ok to just remove as suggested.
thanks, tom kosvic
broadcom-wl is now in the Hardware Repo.
So no need for Packman.
