Repositories

By default MocaccinoOS ships with the mocaccino-desktop-stable repository installed. This repository has all the core layers and desktop environments.

Community repository

Any additional software that is compiled and packaged by the MocaccinoOS project is available in the community repository. So if you for instance want to install neovim, alacritty or gimp, you first need to install the community repository.

1

$ sudo luet install repository/mocaccino-community-stable

The community repository is maintained by the community and users can participate by requesting packages or even make a pull request to contribute.

Using development repositories for testing

Development isos that have the -dev suffix have the development repositories pre-installed. The -dev ISOs are intended for development and testing only, so this document outlines the steps to switch back and forth from the stable and unstable repositories.

Identify the installed repositories

With luet repo list you can check the repositories currently installed in the system, for example:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13

$ sudo luet repo list

If the output doesn’t contain repositories named with -stable at the end, most likely you are using the development repositories.

Switch repositories

In MocaccinoOS repositories are standard packages. To remove the development repositories, you can:

1

$ luet uninstall -y repository/mocaccino-extra repository/mocaccino-desktop repository/mocaccino-os-commons

And then to enable the stable repositories:

1

$ luet install -y --nodeps repository/mocaccino-extra-stable repository/mocaccino-desktop-stable repository/mocaccino-os-commons-stable

The same procedure is valid as well to switch from -stable to development repositories.

The difference is that you have to remove the -stable ones instead.
