Hello,
on Debian/Ubuntu you can save the package list and install the same packages on an other PC or reinstall packages on a clean setup. This is helpful i.e. for reinstalling systems with backups.

Is there something similar in the RPM world? Open YaST2 and go to Software -> Software Management select "File" from the drop-down menu at the top of the window and use the export function.
For the new or re-install you would import the saved file.
I have never done this myself, but believe this should suffice. That you for this hint. It works like expected.
Unfortunately the Import function does not search packages in all available repositories. One example: I exported the package list on source system. The list contains "okteta" from KDE (repository KDE:Extra / KDE_Current_openSUSE_13.1): <entry kind="package" name="okteta" epoch="0" ver="4.14.1" rel="1.5" arch="x86_64"/> On target system I imported the package list. Yast installed "okteta", but from "openSUSE 13.1" repository in an older version. Source system: Name : okteta Version : 4.14.1 Distribution: KDE:Current / openSUSE_13.1 Target system: Name : okteta Version : 4.11.5 Distribution: openSUSE 13.1 Probably this can be seen as a bug or feature request.
