Finding RPMs can sometimes be a challenge. Here are some repositories for finding and downloading SUSE RPMs. They are separated into three categories; Major, Minor, and YaST Sources. Major being a very large selection across various versions of SUSE; Minor being smaller, out of date, or only focus on a single software package or version of SUSE. YaST Sources are special repositories that can be added to your "Software Management" (SUSE Linux 9.X called it "Install and Remove Software") interface.

Contents 1 Major 2 Minor 3 YaST Sources 3.1 Base: 3.2 Official KDE: 3.2.1 KDE3: 3.2.2 KDE4: 3.3 Official GNOME: 3.4 Official "misc": 3.5 Packman: 3.6 Guru: 3.7 RPMFind 3.8 Official x86_64: 3.9 Scorot rpms (i586 and x86_64): 3.10 Others:

Major

• Official SUSE FTP - countless RPMs in several different sections; international mirrors
• APT repository - endless RPMs providing almost all SUSE packages that can be found on the internet!

* Use the easy Apt4PRM auto-install script to automatically set-up the repository for your version of SUSE

• rpm.pbone.net - large selection, very current; searches several other repositories
• RPMSeek - large selection, not quite as current
• Guru's RPMS - Currently discontinued and moved to Packman and SuSE Build Service repositories.
• PackMan
• James Ogley's RPMs
