What is repository
Repositories are centralized software archives, owned by user-group or society:
- official repository ufficiali, directly cared by Mandriva Soft
- unofficial repository, cared by small user-group or club, as MIB
Benefits in comparison to distribute archives
Mandriva Linux use centralized archives, in contrast to othr linux distribution that use distribute archives. Centralized archives are more useful than distribute archives because of centralized archives contains all the softwares and all its dependencies, and you can download all togheter
Moreover benefits are:
- Easy installation of all packages, because system can use lists to know recent packages and can solve dependencies
- Traceability of package’s provider, improving security
Lists can be of two types:
- hdlist.cz (big and complete)
- synthesis.hdlist.cz (light)
MIB provides in his repos newer packages than Mandriva, with internal optimizations, or provides untraceable packages
To add our repos you must take the following commands in a root console (for each command you must have a positive confirmation before to take the next):

NB: to install MIB packages in Mandriva 2008.0 is importanto to install our “holefiller”, otherwise you recieve an error of bad architecture!
Put in a root console the following command:
rpm -ivh --force http://mib.pianetalinux.org/2008.0/noarch/fix-rpm-macros-1.0-1.mib2008.0.noarch.rpm

NB: because of MIB does’t port all packages for Mandriva 2007.0 not all the repo are full, e not all will be full also in the future, that is why some of this repo doesn’t add correctly
Who want to help us testing new packages, can found it in “testing” repos, and must advise us in case of disfunction and in case of good work (only for expert people)
