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 themselfs 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 repository to your system

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

MeeGo 1.1 users

cd /etc/zypp/repos.d
sudo wget http://mirror.yandex.ru/mirrors/meego-community/meego1.1/community.repo

MeeGo 1.0 users

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

If you have yum package manager installed, you can also add the repo to yum:

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

(Insert your MeeGo version number instead of 1.x)

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.
