Hello,

I know some recent discussion where held in this list (I presume) on similar subject, but don't remember a solution.

I have on a computer a working 15.0 install.

I just (yesterday) install 15.1 on an other partition.

is there a way to recover from the 15.0 a list of *main applications* (without libraries and dependencies) I could apply to the new 15.1?

I don't know how to obtain a list of applications only. Everything, yes.

could be like the manually selected apps on 15.0, for example

Manually selected, no. All applications, perhaps zypper can distinguish type application, dunno. No, it can't: Package Types Zypper works with several types of resource objects, called resolvables. A resolvable might be a package, patch, pattern, product; basically any kind of object with dependencies to other objects. ... application Legacy: Since libzypp-17.7.0 this type is no longer available. If you can get a list of applications somehow, then you could perhaps subtract from that list those installed by a certain pattern. The remainder would be manually installed, perhaps. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

A chould be this: $ LC_ALL=C rpm -qf /usr/bin/* --qf '%{name}\t%{distribution}\n' | \ grep -v 'is not owned by any package' | sort -u > t.lst You might need to rework that list to replace the "distribution" by the name you locally use in your repos.d/*.conf (see zypper lr) and of course replace the repo-versions... Should be rather straightforward though, e.g.: $ awk -F'\t' -vOFS="\t" 'gsub("15.0","15.1",$2);' t.lst | tee t2.lst to replace specific reponames, just add them to the awk: $ awk -F'\t' -vOFS="\t" ' { gsub("15.0","15.1",$2); } $2 ~ /foo/ { $2 = "bar 15.1"; } $2 == "foo / openSUSE_15.1" { # note[1] $2 = "bar 15.1"; } ' t.lst | tee t2.lst [1] the 15.0 has been replaced before by the "gsub" on every line... You could even write a file for each repo to use[2] and then feed those files to # zypper --from $repo $(< ${repo}.lst ) [2] either directly from awk or filtering its output file as in awk -F'\t' '$2 == "foo" { print; }' t2.lst > foo.lst etc. Actually, that might be all you need: filter the rpm output t.lst in that way and write only the package-names to the $repo.lst: $ awk -F'\t' '$2 == "foo" { print $1; }' t.lst > foo.lst $ awk -F'\t' '$2 == "bar" { print $1; }' t.lst > bar.lst [.. work over the list and prune unwanted stuff ..] # zypper --from foo $(< foo.lst ) # zypper --from baz $(< bar.lst ) HTH, -dnh -- "You're one hundred percent positive that the ship which is crashed on the bottom of this ocean is the ship which you said you were one hundred percent positive could one hundred percent positively never crash?
