[zypp-devel] Name of package to be selected

Hi, In my project, I read the name of the package from the YMP file. I recently tried to install quassel from a YMP file, but it failed as quassel is named as quassel-base, and thus no packages were marked for installation. So, how can such a problem be avoided?

That's probably a problem of http://software.opensuse.org If you search for 'quassel' and click the 'quassel' link, you can retrieve the .ymp for the source rpm. (click on 'Show other versions' and you see all packages are 'Source') But this does not make sense because the source rpm is not provided by the repo. That's why it is not found. And you're probably more interested in the binary packages. Search again for quassel; then 'Show 2 Sub-Packages' and you see 'base' and 'core'. They lead to the binray packages 'quassel-base' and 'quassel-core'. (@Henne in CC: Maybe the search can be improved? Maybe omit source rpms?) -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Development, ma@suse.de GF:Jeff Hawn,Jennifer Guild,Felix Imendörffer, HRB16746(AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 740 53-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: zypp-devel+owner@opensuse.org

We could but instead we would rather take this further into the direction of appstream data (desktop files instead of packages).
