<p>An installation of <b>openmamba "rolling"</b> is done using the weekly snapshots media and by default provides access to
|
||
|
some archives of RPM packages called <i>repositories</i> or <i>channels</i> from which you can install additional software packages:
|
||
|
<ul>
|
||
|
<li><a href="/distribution/distromatic.html?tag=devel">devel</a> channel is
|
||
|
the main archive for software packages that constitute the current stable release of the openmamba distribution;
|
||
|
<li><a href="/distribution/distromatic.html?tag=devel-games">devel-games</a>
|
||
|
channel contains apart games which take a lot of storage space;
|
||
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The packages in these repositories can be installed using the package management tool which comes integrated
|
||
|
with your openmamba desktop environment or using the command line commands <i>pkcon</i> and <i>smart</i> tools.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Use of the "rolling" distribution is suggested to users who want to have continuous updates to the latest software
|
||
|
releases and who won't need to do major periodic upgrades each time a new milestone release is available.
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>openmamba "rolling" release is the same used by distribution developers.
|
||
|
openmamba development is also based on other channels containing updates that are being checked as well as
|
||
|
channels where users or development groups can send their own contributions.</b>
|
||
|

<b>ADDITIONAL CHANNELS</b><br>
|
||
|
<p>The additional channels contain more up-to-date software packages which are considered stable but are waiting
|
||
|
to be fully tested before being made available to all users.
|
||
|
<p>In order to get updates from an additional channel you need to enable it in the <i>Software sources</i>
|
||
|
settings dialog of the openmamba packages management tool.
|
||
|
A channel can be as well enabled by command line by issuing the following command:
|
||
|
<pre>pkcon repo-enable channel_name</pre>
|
||
|
<p>It is not recommended to permanently enable these channels but sometimes it may be useful to temporary enable them
|
||
|
in order to selectively install some packages whose upgrade is needed or for testing purposes.
