Feature changed by: Tim Edwards (tk83) Feature #308437, revision 4 Title: zypper search in package content openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Description: Zypper search should be extended to search also in a filelist of package, which can make webpin or package pin obsolete. zypper search --search-content gpm.h Will return all packages matching 'gpm.h' string in a filelist. Discussion: #1: Roberto Mannai (robermann79) (2009-12-01 19:00:10) webpin still would allow searching inside a not installed package + #2: Tim Edwards (tk83) (2010-01-27 16:19:50) + This feature is especially important when you're compiling software. + For example today I was building something and gcc complained that + glibconfig.h was missing. There was no way to find out which of the + hundreds of -devel packages provided this file, except for guessing (it + was in glib2-devel). Many header files are much more difficult to find + than glib ones. + In Mandriva, which has this feature (see + http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Tools/urpmi#urpmf), I could've just done: + urpmf glibconfig.h + and it would've said 'glib2-devel' + + -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308437
