https://software.opensuse.org/packages for searching packages that aren't in your activated repos, and steps to activate the one that contains them.
Thanks, I had a look and I wanted to ask even though it is kinda obvious but I want to confirm about the "community packages". Who is building them? The word community implies that it may be a community behind them but the naming system suggests that they are personal repos (and most probably not checked). What is the case?
I see. Yes, it is as I had suspected and yes, as there is not any guarantee that the package is legit unless you know the maintainer, then I also think it is better to avoid. Thanks for explaining
