I am trying to use zypper in the command language to install the various modules for the go language. I am using the command

zypper -n install go-*

I get the following:

Retrieving repository 'OpenSUSE Science' metadata ........................[done] Building repository 'OpenSUSE Science' cache .............................[done] Retrieving repository 'openSUSE BuildService - GNOME:Apps' metadata ......[done] Building repository 'openSUSE BuildService - GNOME:Apps' cache ...........[done] Retrieving repository 'openSUSE BuildService - devel:languages:python' met[done] Building repository 'openSUSE BuildService - devel:languages:python' cache[done] Retrieving repository 'Packman Repository' metadata ......................[done] Building repository 'Packman Repository' cache ...........................[done] Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... 'go' is already installed. No update candidate for 'go-1.1.2-2.1.3.x86_64'. The highest available version is already installed. Resolving package dependencies...

Nothing to do.

I though that pattern matching in the package name is okay to use or am I using the wrong command syntax?

I don't believe command-line pattern matching was ever possible, but you can effect the same by: zypper -v in `zypper se -s |grep \ go-` ps: the glob may need further defining. Inspect the resultant packages before committing. What I saw looked pretty good. There may be more packages which do no contain " go-". -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
