What?
How am I suppossed to install a pattern with zypper? What's the use of patterns if they can't be installed? I don't see anything in help or man about how to install patterns, or that patterns are not installable.

maybe: zypper in -t pattern devel_kernel http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper/Usage/11.0#Installing_Packages (other examples) or zypper in --help (look for --type) Regards, Luiz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Ah! Yes, that's it.

Hum! The examples should be inside the man page, not outside.
or zypper in --help (look for --type)
which lacks examples. Once I know that I have to specify the package type, yes, I can see it in the help. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

That's what is supposed to explain with the 'default' in every zypper command (install, upgrade, update, etc): -t, --type <type> Type of package (%s).\n Default: %s.\n Seams that the man page of zypper was remade some weeks ago, I don't remember in which list it was announced... regards, Luiz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Seams that the man page of zypper was remade some weeks ago, I don't remember in which list it was announced...
The current man page, where you look at the command install, does not
mention "patterns":
] install (in) [options]

Not a bad idea. I'll add a few to the man page as well.

Examples in the help texts? Hmm.. why not? :O) The only thing against i can think of is the work it takes. You're welcome to help, BTW :O)
] Command options: ] -r, --repo
Install packages only from the specified ] repository. ] -t, --type <type> Type of package (package, patch, ] pattern, product). ] Default: package. The phrasing is not very fortunate.
Go ahead and suggest something better.
If, on the man page you look for the modifiers of "install", you see:
] t, type <type> ] Type of package (default: package). See the beginÖ ] ning of this subsection for the list of available ] package types.
Again, "pattern" is not mentioned.
"See the beginning of this subsection for the list of available package types."
Thus, IMO, the man page is not good enough for a person that doesn't already know how to use zypper.
I know, we improve it gradually. In fact i plan to work on it in the upcoming days. So thanx for pointing this out :O) - -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team - ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 - ----------------------------------------------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkueXEACgkQgEhGpmN+6QH8GQCfSAu/LfRJgrY6XmUBrSHulImb ERkAn3VuRDissqkoepAzwKCo8mN9+jBr =VGiQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Ha! :-) Well... the help text is already largish... I was probably thinking of the man pages. And as a translator that has translated man pages, I can say that I hate translating man pages, I hate the format and not having real easy (non programmesse) writing tools. For a user, the man format is ok, but for a plain writer... ugh. And I can tell you that we sweated translating zypper :-p

I don't know, but some lines like: zypper in rpm_package zypper in -t pattern pattern_package at the bottom of the "zypper help in" text would help. Or at the top. Some samples of the possible combinations.

Yeah, I know... once you know what you have to look for. But, if you use the text search facility of "man" to search for "pattern" after going to the section "install", you find nothing in that section. You have to actually read the entire section and digest it before you notice what it means >:-)

Agreed. I added some to the man page.

Well, it is 1600+ lines already (on a 80 char wide console) :O)
