Reorganization of the Packman repository structure

There has been a reorganization of the structure of the Packman repository, which is the main repository for the GNU/Linux distribution of Arch Linux, as well as an additional repository for many other GNU/Linux distributions, including openSUSE.

From now on, it is divided into several different ones.

• Essentials - the main multimedia components (libraries, codecs).
• Multimedia - various programs and auxiliary components.
• Games - games.
• Extra - everything that is not included in the previous categories.

The old links still work. They link to new addresses.

/suse/11.3 ---> /suse/openSUSE_11.3

You can use a common repository as before, you can connect separately. In the latter case, Essentials is necessary.

In openSUSE 11.4, YaST2 will have a selection of separate repositories under "Community Repositories".

For zypper you can use links:

• http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.4/Essentials/packman-essentials.repo
• http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.4/Multimedia/packman-multimedia.repo
• http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.4/Games/packman-games.repo
• http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.4/Extra/packman-extra.repo
• or generic:
• http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.4/packman.repo
