[opensuse-support] files list?
Is there an app that will give one a list of all the available files in a repo? If so, how are the repos named, so as to determine which repo one is looking at? Or does the app offer a choice of repos at initiation? --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

You can go to download.opensuse.org/repositories/ in your browser and see all the opensuse repos there and follow the folders to full list of files -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20200826 Qt: 5.15.0 KDE Frameworks: 5.73.0 - KDE Plasma: 5.19.4 - kwin 5.19.4 kmail2 5.15.0 (20.08.0) - akonadiserver 5.15.0 (20.08.0) - Kernel: 5.8.2-1-default - xf86-video-nouveau: 1.0.16 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

A web browser.

The URL in the browser tells the name. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ Beware of the crocodiles there.

No such tool. However, there are tools to see what files are available in the repos that you have active in your installation. YaST, for instance. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Beware of the crocodiles there.
Note that that URL does not include all repositories. You need to go up one level to reach them all, so that you can reach places such as http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.0/repo/oss/ should you wish to :)

Ok, but those are already listed in yast/zypper :-)

I forgot that Yast / Software Repositories --> --> [Add] --> (*) community repositories --> [Next] has a list of some common repositories to add, like packman or Nvidia. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

There are a number of listed files that are almost identical, frinstance: hamradio hamradio: And it turns out that neither of these is installable by zypper. What gives?

It is not a file. It is a directory. And there are crocodiles there, remember. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

perhaps because they are directories that lead to repositories, not
repositories themselve, ie: <address>

You can use | zypper repos to see which ones are defined in your system; and | zypper search <name> to search for a package. | zypper search --details <name> will tell you what repositories zypper found <name> in. Use | zypper help | less to see what all of its subcommands and options are. When I'm looking for something but I'm not sure what its package name is, I usually use the YaST Software Manager instead; it's a bit more friendly than zypper in those cases. Notice also that in Software Manager you can change the View from 'Search' to 'Repositories' and look at an individual repository, and search within it by then changing the Secondary Filter (bottom left) from 'All Packages' to 'Search'.

Sure. Zypper is faster to call, but yast is more tunable. You can search on descriptions, or not. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Huh. I'd have to read the manual for several minutes to find something like that... I will not remember the exact concoction now that I know it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Reminds me. There is no "info zypper". Not a proper one, I mean, with linkable index. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

It might be in other respects but searching in descriptions is part of zypper too. zypper se -d [querystring|capability] -- /bengan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
