Organization

Due to different licensing conditions, we provide two different sections:

free section

All packages, both source and binary, are freely available for download. Note that the software contained in these packages have their own licensing conditions; be sure that you read and understand the terms.

non-free section

Due to licensing restrictions, these packages are provided as nosource RPMs only, meaning that you'll need to download sources from a vendor location, and rebuild them (see "Rebuilding nosrc RPMs" page for details).

Access

The package directories are available for direct browsing, however, we strongly recommend that you use an automated package management tool, such as yum (or up2date on Fedora Core), apt or, urpmi. We really don't want to reinvent the wheel when there are multiple wonderful tools out there that will handle all the dependencies for you automatically.

Some distribution-specific information:

• ALT Linux comes with apt
• ASPLinux comes with yum
• Conectiva Linux comes with apt
• Fedora Core comes with yum and up2date which can be used with apt/yum repositories
• Mandriva Linux comes with urpmi
• Red Hat Linux: See http://freshrpms.net/apt/, http://www.fedora.us/
• SuSE Linux: See http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/
• Yellow Dog Linux comes with apt

Searching for dependencies

Some RPM search engines (in order of appearance) are kindly indexing our packages. These may be especially helpful in resolving dependencies if for some reason you choose to use the traditional, manual method of installing our RPMs.
