Is there a way to extract a single file, or set of files from a package in one of he OpenSuSE repositories? I simply want to compare a file that I have configured/made changes to, with the original version of that file as it was installed on my system. My head is hurting from attempting DuckDuckGo research (found no joy looking at documentation for Yast, RPM, and Zypper. Maybe, NOT certain, YUM but dunno if usable) and figure I will just ask the gurus in this forum...
1-Visit the desired file(s) using Midnight Commander 2-Select desired file(s) 3-F5 A-If you wish to save to a particular non-current location, first switch panes and navigate it to that desired location. B-You may need to first configure MC to "visit" archive files of the type containing those you wish to visit, e.g. .rpm or .deb. Not all archive types are pre-configured for entry by openSUSE's MC. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
