Thank you for bringing this topic up.
I'm a stupid user of Leap15.3 and TW and for me it looks like the Suse people try to get rid of the Leap15.3 users.
My use case of software.opensuse.org is to look IF a specific software exists (and in which repository) and what is the latest VERSION I could get without compiling. I can not find dokuwiki or arm-none-eabi-gcc on my computer with Yast. I need to find the repository that might provide the software...
Please, fix the search function on software.opensuse.org
Well, until someone finds a way to make that search work for 15.3, which for the moment is impossible (and nobody seems to know exactly how to do it), you have to change the strategy. First, you can search for the package for 15.2 instead. Chances are it will be in the same place for 15.3 If it is an official package, search directly with zypper or yast2: zypper --no-refresh search package-name If it is not an official package, then use the web search for 15.3 this time. This part should not be broken, so if you don't find it, it does not exist. Caveat: the search page does not even have an option to search for 15.3. Well, in that case you can install "opi" and use it to do the search. Interestingly, "opi arm-none-eabi-gcc" on 15.2 produces results, while the web search doesn't. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
