packman-installation on opensuse version 13.1 - How to do it the best way?
hello
i want to install packman on openSUSE 13.1 how to do that? note - i want to do it via repository btw: how to test via terminal: a.- if / weather it was successful!? b. if i need packman - or if it is installed allready? question: can i do it with the following code that i found here: see some ressources: http://opensuse-community.org/Repositories/Packman here on that page i saw that i can add the repo with something like the following code - via Terminal: i take a code that belongs to an older version - (version 11.3) derived from that: zypper addrepo --repo http://packman.inode.at/suse/11.3/packman.repo to that zypper addrepo --repo http://packman.inode.at/suse/13.1/packman.repo note - see i have changed the 11.3 to the version 13.1 can i do this addition via terminal - with the code look forward to hear from you |
why not read the novell opensuse wiki page
for the current OS http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_package_repositories and to add the now split up DIFFERENT repos ( please read the change logs ) http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_pa...tories#Packman |

Now, to the question of whether you need packman, then you only need it, if you need some software that is unavailable without having it. So, what is the software that is otherwise unavailable that packman will make available? (That's not necessarily a rhetorical question; if you can answer it yourself, and are happy with that, then fine; otherwise, if you want anyone else to help you go further, then you need to tell the others what the answer is). Packman is one of the bigger repos, and can be a bit slow when it comes to grabbing the data to update the repodata, so you might not want to add packman if you are on a slow 'net link, or you have a slow computer. (Or, you don't want any of the software that is only available from that repo.) Quote:

yast is more straightforward, if you don't know how to use zypper (not that learning zypper is bad, but the GUI version(s) are easier to get up to speed with). Actually, if you really wanted to, you could use Yast from the command line, but it might not suit you. Anything about zypper can be found out with 'man zypper' . And, you have already done it. And note that the community documentation that you have quoted hasn't been updated for the latest oS release, whereas the links that John VV gave, have been. |
hello dear all
thx to you for the great advices and tipps. well i was lucky with the following link out of this collection - http://packman.jacobs-university.de/suse/ i took the following link; http://packman.jacobs-university.de/suse/13.1/ and this did the trick.. btw - now have a closer look at the fresh installed opensuse 13.1 hmm - what do you say bout the levels - all of them are 99 - is this a good choice!? or should i change some things in the priority!? Code:
martin@linux-c5sz:~> zypper lr -uP Amarock does not spit out any sound - also any youtube clip does not!? What elese is needed!? love to hear from you greetings say |
As with everything SuSE related ( except for the headless SELS) it is WAY easier to do normal everyday things using the gui
suse uses a ton( and i do mean A LOT ) of scripts in the background ,to set up and configure the system SO MANY that for a lot of things using the GUI IS the best way ( the scripts WILL get ran automatically ) open yast and use the "software management" gui or the "software repositories " GUI ( you can also get to this one from the "install and remove software" gui ) use the "software repositories " GUI for adding software repositories and for setting the priority this is basically THE SAME as the RedHat "yum-priority-plugin" for help with that click on the "Help" menu option Quote:
you have to USE the versions of the programs that are there replacing the ones in the base and oss and non-oss repos PLEASE READ the opensuse wiki and the section on "restricted formats" ( manly under USA bleeped up patent and copyright law ) http://en.opensuse.org/Restricted_formats flash,java,music formats, video formats are almost all forbidden in the us of a and other countries ( unless one pays for a royalty to use them) although suse is a rpm based distro if you have a RHEL background , you will need to UNLEARN a lot of things suse dose things differently than RHEL |
