Myrlyn Now Handles Community Repos

The promising new package management tool Myrlyn now includes a much-requested feature: repository configuration. Users can now easily manage their repos, adjust priorities, enable auto-refresh, and even add well-known community repositories like packman, openh264, libdvdcss, and NVIDIA; all with Myrlyn’s streamlined UI!

Key Features:

• View repo details, including priority, auto-refresh status, and URL.
• Modify repo settings directly from the interface.
• Add custom repos with libzypp variables like $releasever.
• Select community repos automatically tailored for Leap, Tumbleweed or Slowroll.
• Enable read-only mode for non-privileged users.

Some users have been exclusively managing their systems with Myrlyn, which showcases its reliability. Myrlyn was developed during Hack Week 24 and is a standalone Qt-based package manager, free from YaST dependencies.
