IMHO, there's something wrong with searching for software for Opensuse. I wanted to know what version of wine was available on the various versions on opensuse. So I went to http://www.opensuse.org/en/ and in the boxes at the top I chose 'search for software' and typed 'wine' and clicked 'run search'.
I was taken to http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=wine which showed me a table headed "Download openSUSE" listing how to download opensuse 11.1 for various architectures! Not what I wanted and not what the URL indicates.
The page says "This page is also available as an interactive download interface. To access it, please enable JavaScript and reload this page."
I normally browse with NoScript, so I temporarily enabled Javascript to see what happened ...
The page changes to something completely different! Same URL, completely different content! That's not very RESTful is it?
But the content was still not what I wanted. It's headed "Get Software from the openSUSE Build Service". Well no, that's specifically what I DON'T want. I simply want to know what version of wine comes with each version of opensuse! How do I get that information?
10.3 - 0.9.44 11.0 - 0.9.64 aka rc3 11.1 - 1.1.9 I would look into the online install repos: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/suse/i586/ http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0/repo/oss/suse/i586/ http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/suse/i586/ btw, newer versions are in the openSUSE buildservice, see http://en.opensuse.org/Wine for the repo links.
