openmamba milestone 2 software packages |
An installation of openmamba milestone2 (stable release) automatically provides access to some archives of RPM packages called repositories or channels from which you can install software packages:
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 pkcon and smart tools.
Use of the stable distribution is recommended to all users who use the system in production
environment and expect the available functionalities not to change for long periods.
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.
In order to get updates from an additional channel you need to enable it in the Software sources settings dialog of the openmamba packages management tool. A channel can be as well enabled by command line by issuing the following command:
pkcon repo-enable channel_name
If you want to take advantage from the latest system functionalities, with support for
more recent hardware and new software releases, it is possible to upgrade to the development
system by configuring openmamba to use the devel
and devel-games repositories.
This operation is not reversible and is only suggested to beta testers or experienced users
because it may cause problem to your system even with loss of functionality compared to the
stable distribution.
For more information see the development page.
