Which of these repositories are duplicates or unnecessary

English Applications
#1

I am running KDE 4.4.2 release ‘241’. I have no clue if that’s the latest dev version, but I do know that each day I have to install a 150MB KDE update, so it probably is. Either way it’s pretty annoying.

The way opensuse handles repositories is different than Ubuntu’s, so somehow I ended up creating duplicates too.

So basically, I want to remove any duplicates and also stop receiving the daily KDE updates.You can ignore the google repositories.

My repositories-

You should keep just the following

17 | repo-non-oss | openSUSE-11.2-Non-Oss | Yes | Yes | 99 | yast2 | Index of /distribution/11.2/repo/non-oss |
18 | repo-oss | openSUSE-11.2-Oss | Yes | Yes | 99 | yast2 | Index of /distribution/11.2/repo/oss |
20 | repo-update | openSUSE-11.2-Update | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | Index of /update/11.2 |
6 | Packman Repository | Packman Repository | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | Index of /pub/packman/suse/11.2 |
5 | NVIDIA Repository | NVIDIA Repository | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/11.2/ |
9 | download.opensuse.org-mozilla | openSUSE BuildService - Mozilla | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | Index of /repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.2 |

Once you have just those, open a terminal, become su -
and do

zypper dup

This will roll everything back, hopefully without complication.

Thanks. I wasn’t looking to roll kde back though. Can you point out the kde dev repo that causes the daily updates? I’ll think about it some more, but maybe I’ll keep it around.

Thanks. :slight_smile:

#4

I’m going to have to figure this out myself, since I just want to get rid of the duplicates and have a bit more control over the daily KDE updates. Maybe enable the repo once a week. Thanks for the help though.:slight_smile:

It now looks like this.

Thanks again.

Better.

FYI, you don’t have to update kde with every update that come in the repos.

If you just want to make sure you have all the security updates - just run

zypper ref

zypper patch
