I need some instruction as to how to find out what's in the various "approved" repos that can be accessed from YAST or zypper or whatever is correct for the files. I am finding that certain very common apps appear to be missing from the latest OpenSUSE Tumbleweed--for instance, Artha. That's just one. I have a list of apps most of which ran on a year-old version of this program. They may be available, but only if I can find them! (I would prefer using "approved" files before looking elsewhere for the necessary rpm.) Can some kind soul point me in the right direction for finding what's hidden in the various files accessible to this system, please? --doug
You start by searching for the package in the standard and contributed repositories at software.opensuse.org, where you will find . . . https://software.opensuse.org/package/artha Failing that, you can look for the application home site; a search for "artha" takes you to its home at sourceforge . . .Sometimes there is an rpm, but in this case, only for Fedora (which is "approved", but may or may not install on opensuse - the rpm installer may tell you of any missing dependencies). Otherwise, there is typically a source package with dependencies and installation instructions, like . . . http://artha.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Installation -- DennisG MSI B450-A Pro, Ryzen 5 2400, 15GB, Leap 15.1, KDE 5.55/5.12.8, stock kernel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
