Linux Software Repositories

GUI Configuration on openSUSE 10.2

This page will guide you through setting up an OpenSUSE 10.2 system to use the Google Linux software repository. For general information, please see the Google's Linux Software Repositories page.

Package Manager Configuration

Open the "Control Center" from the main system menu.

Click on the "YaST" item.

In the "YaST Control Center", select "Software" on the left-hand side, then click the "Installation Source" item on the righ-hand side.

In "YaST2", click the "Add" button.

Select "HTTP..." for the "Media Type", then click "Next".

Type "dl.google.com" for the "Server Name" and "/linux/rpm/stable/i386" for the "Directory on Server", then click "Next".

If you are running a 64-bit distribution, you should also add the x86_64 repository, which will provide you with native 64-bit versions of some of our software. Repeat these steps, but when you get back to this screen, use the following settings:

Type "dl.google.com" for the "Server Name" and "/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64" for the "Directory on Server".

You should now see the Google YUM repository in the list. Click "Finish" to complete setting up the new repository.

Key Installation and Usage

When you added the repository, the public key should have been automatically downloaded and installed.
