Hi,
I installed openSUSE 11.4_amd64 on my system. All works fine but a lot of popular apps are missing from the repos. OpenSuse11.3 had them but 11.4 doesn’t!
I searched for apps like skype,isomaster,acetoneiso,openbravo erp,gsmartmon,smooth-task etc but didn’t get any result.
I have contrib and pacman repos enabled, still no luck…all the above mentioned apps were available in 11.3 then why not in 11.4…is it 'coz it released recently?
Thanks
It can take several weeks or more for the full array of applications to get put up
Keep checking at: software.opensuse.org: Search Results
aww **** 
I rely on openbravo for my business…this is unfair IMO, upgrade should be a completely viable option…
Sadly, this delay in applications (especially unusual ones) is a well known and equally well commented on fact.
Can you not use any of the downloads found on this page for now?
Skype was never available from Packman repos. Download it directly from Skype.com. The version is for early openSuse but it works with 11.4.
If your openSuse installation is 64 bit, you will need a few more 32bit packages installed (all available from YAST) for skype to work.

If you relied on an app for your business, you should have checked before
upgrading. It is very well known that many apps can take a long time to
appear, even months. Certainly not in the first week!

Apparently I didn’t. Besides I thought that it would be like mint, to provide all apps after the release.
Thanks for the info guys, I’ll wait for the apps to be released.
No, I don’t know what I am doing (you learn by breaking).
What other 32bit, if you don’t mind ?
Didn’t you find the answers in the thread you called a “pissing contest” … or didn’t you read it from the beginning … instead of complaining about how it ended?
Download directly from Skype and then have a look here for Skype installation.

pull up a chair and get comfy…one can do a LOT of learn by breaking
here, before stumbling into a solution…or what appears to be a
solution…which only works until you suddenly run into the trap you
laid for yourself down the road…

Factory changes every week; most packagers wait till it freezes as a stable
release before starting work.
In suse you have to know that the official distro is only the oss and
non-oss repos; the rest belongs the buildservice collaborators.

Thanks…but I did mention a lot of missing OSS in the first post.

None of those apps come from the OSS repo, they are extra.

Who makes them? and by extra do you mean contrib?

I told you who makes each one.
OpenSUSE per se is only three repos: oss, non-oss, and update. Those 3.
Everything else, is “somebody”.
