RE: [SLE] Getting YaST to pass a software list

===== Original Message From James Oakley ===== With apt, you can do this easily. To get just the package names (without version and release numbers):

rpm -qa --queryformat '%{name}\n' > pkglist

Then do the following:

for pkg in `cat pkglist`; do apt-get install $pkg done

Don't worry about packages that are already installed. They will either get updated to the latest version or apt will simply say "foo is already the latest version"

Or just do: apt-get install $(cat pkglist) This is probably much quicker. -- Richard Bos -- Dit bericht is verzonden met Webmail van Freeler. Ook snel en betrouwbaar toegang tot internet? Meld je aan op http://www.freeler.nl
