Purpose

This repository was created soon after MeeGo for Netbooks was released. For many reasons some popular software (codecs, players, etc...) can not be shipped with the distro or included to official repositories, so users had to build such software by themselves and share it with each other. As soon as the number of user-built packages has significally grown, it was suggested to join the efforts and create a single community repository.

Browsing available packages

Repository can be browsed directly to see what's in.

Index is made with RepoView utility. Click here to see Repository index for Meego 1.0 and here for Repository index for Meego 1.1.

Adding the community repository to your system

To add the repo to your system, open a terminal (Menu→Applications→System→Terminal) and perform the following steps:

MeeGo 1.2 users

$ sudo zypper ar http://mirror.yandex.ru/mirrors/meego-community/meego1.2/ community && sudo zypper refresh

MeeGo 1.1 users

$ sudo zypper ar http://mirror.yandex.ru/mirrors/meego-community/meego1.1/ community && sudo zypper refresh

MeeGo 1.0 users

$ sudo zypper ar http://mirror.yandex.ru/mirrors/meego-community/meego1.0/ community && sudo zypper refresh

In Meego 1.0 you can also add the repo to "yum" package manager. Before you can add the repository, you must have wget installed on your system (not installed by default). To install it, open a terminal window and execute the following from the terminal command line:

sudo zypper install wget

sudo yum install wget

depending on your installer of choice.

After that, add the repo to yum:

cd /etc/yum.repos.d
sudo wget http://mirror.yandex.ru/mirrors/meego-community/meego1.0/community.repo

Finally, unchek the option "Filters - Only native packages" in PackageKit] (Menu→Applications→System→Add/Remove Applications). Now you are able to search and install the packages from the repo.

Installing the software

Codecs:

sudo zypper install ffmpeg faac faad2 gstreamer-ffmpeg gst-plugins-good 
gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-uggly mpeg2dec 
libmatroska libdvdnav libdvdread lame x264

Players:

sudo zypper install totem mplayer-gui vlc
