[Solved] Newbie - I miss packages from the repo

[tzol]

Hi Guys,

I am a newbie who has just given a try to pclinuxos and I am stuck right at the very beginning. I was looking for subversion in the repository but it is not there. Since it is quite a common program and it is not in the default repository I think that there have to be another repositories, but I don't know where. The ones in the source.list seem mirrors to me.
Could you help me by pointing me to a guide or giving me link to the sources.list?

I used another distro and Debian before, but I never had another distro so far.

Thanks,
Zoltan

First of all welcome to PCLinuxOS and to the forum

You assumed correct: we use only one main repository and many mirrors, there are no alternatives or third-party repos.

Which mirror are you using? We have subversion, version 1.6.18.

It's in the updates section of the 32 bit repository.

In Synaptic, go to Settings-->Repositories, click the mirror you are using and add the word updates to the Sections line (if it isn't there). Click Reload and then do a search for  "subversion".

Thanks for the answers!
I forgot to run apt-get update (Reload) before the search, and only the packages from the install image were seen.
