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?
The method has not changed in many years. There is a search engine or applet thing in Firefox. You type the name of the package and hit enter. Or browse to the search place directly. <https://software.opensuse.org/> Result: https://software.opensuse.org/package/artha?search_term=artha You have to click on your release number to obtain relevant results. Or click on "show artha for other distributions". Nothing on default for Tumbleweed. Then you click on "experimental packages". There is one, version 1.0.3. Now, you never click on "one click install". Instead, click on "expert download". It will ask again for your release. Then, click on "add repository manually". It will expand a set of instructions: For openSUSE Tumbleweed run the following as root: zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/Edu... zypper refresh zypper install artha Well, you do that. Or use YaST. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
