[opensuse-factory] avoid unwanted packages (Tumbleweed)
I am sure there is an easy and obvious way to do what I want ... but I cannot find it. Every now and then when I run zypper up I get a bunch of applications installed that I don't use. I have a little bash script that calls zypper remove to cleanup after that happend: sudo zypper remove marble digikam kipi-plugins git-gui libqt4-linguist kmahjongg libkmahjongg4 patterns-openSUSE-games patterns-openSUSE-kde_games dosbox kdegames-carddecks-default kmines kreversi libkdegames libkdegames4 skanlite hugin akregator5 kmail5 kmailtransport konqueror konqueror-plugins kdebase4-libkonq konversation kopete amarok bundle-lang-kde-en libtag-extras1 dragonplayer k3b orca libqt5-linguist libQt5Core-devel kontact5 Is there anyway I can tell zypper that I am not interested in those packages? Is that maybe connected to those "patterns-openSUSE" packages? I know that zypper inr would install those packages. I am not calling it. I merely call zypper ref, zypper up and zypper ve ... however, I think every time there is a snapshot released I end up getting all those packages forced on me again. Please point me to the documentation I need to read.

The --no-recommends was pretty obvious. Sorry for not looking hard enough myself. "al" looks very promising too. Thank you both! /Sven -- Fingerprint: D7CA F2DB 658D 89BC 08D6 A7AA DA6E 167B 8F54 1FB6 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

--no-recommends has a systemwide config equivalent in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf: solver.onlyRequires = true Zypper has a personal-to-zypper equivalent in /etc/zypp/zypper.conf: installRecommends = no
"al" looks very promising too.
al means add lock, ll list those existing. Locks are kept in /etc/zypp/locks, which means as a group they can be switched on or off wholesale with a mv command. Locks in zypper equate to taboo in YaST, which means you can set them at installation time, if you use detailed package selection. What I'd like to find is an equivalent to solver.onlyRequires=true that can be applied before reaching the software selection step at initial installation time. It's annoyingly time consuming to need always minimal install to prevent all merely recommended packages from being installed along with whatever packages are actually wanted. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
