Greetings. Did: # ls SLED10/i386/suse/setup/descr apparmor-10-12.i586.pat laptop-10-12.i586.pat base-10-12.i586.pat MD5SUMS basis-devel-10-12.i586.pat mono-10-12.i586.pat ccb-10-12.i586.pat network-10-12.i586.pat common.war Novell-software-10-12.i586.pat default-10-12.i586.pat packages directory.yast packages.cs documentation-10-12.i586.pat packages.de EXTRA_PROV packages.DU gnome-10-12.i586.pat packages.en gnome-devel-10-12.i586.pat packages.es gnome-laptop-10-12.i586.pat packages.fr kde-10-12.i586.pat packages.hu kde-devel-10-12.i586.pat packages.sk kde-laptop-10-12.i586.pat patterns kernel-devel-10-12.i586.pat x11-10-12.i586.pat Now, is there an efficient and official way to get all the categories? The only way I found to find the categories is: # fgrep "=Cat.en" * | cut -d: -f3 | sort -u Additional Software Base Technologies Desktops Development Aren't these not stored in some other file I could parse more easily?
