complete products), Patterns (see
for details on patterns), Packages, and Patches. Mark the check box of a list entry that
should be removed then press Remove to start the package uninstallation. If other
packages depend on the ones marked by you, these are also removed. You must confirm
the removal of additional packages. If you click Cancel in the confirmation dialog, no
packages are uninstalled.
9.2.5 Configuring the Software Updater
To configure the ZEN tools, click Configure in the application window. A window with
three tabs opens: Services, Catalogs, and Preferences.
Services and Catalogs
Services are basically sources that provide software packages and information about
these packages. Each service can offer one or more catalogs.
The service tab lists all services available together with type and status information (if
you cannot see the latter two, adjust the window size). Use Remove Service or Add
Service to add or remove services. The following service types are available:
YUM
An HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP server using the RPM-MD format for the package data.
ZYPP
ZYPP services are the YaST installation sources added with Software > Installation
Source in YaST. Use Software Updater or YaST to add installation sources. The
source from which you initially installed (DVD or CD-ROM in most cases) is
preconfigured. If you change or delete this source, replace it with another valid
installation source (ZYPP service), because otherwise you cannot install new soft-
ware.
NOTE: Terminology
The terms YaST installation source, YaST package repository, and ZYPP
service are the same name for a source from which you can install software.
