Feature changed by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #308437, revision 5 Title: zypper search in package content - openSUSE-11.3: New + openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Description: Zypper search should be extended to search also in a filelist of package, which can make webpin or package pin obsolete. zypper search --search-content gpm.h Will return all packages matching 'gpm.h' string in a filelist. Discussion: #1: Roberto Mannai (robermann79) (2009-12-01 19:00:10) webpin still would allow searching inside a not installed package #2: Tim Edwards (tk83) (2010-01-27 16:19:50) This feature is especially important when you're compiling software. For example today I was building something and gcc complained that glibconfig.h was missing. There was no way to find out which of the hundreds of -devel packages provided this file, except for guessing (it was in glib2-devel). Many header files are much more difficult to find than glib ones. In Mandriva, which has this feature (see http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Tools/urpmi#urpmf), I could've just done: urpmf glibconfig.h and it would've said 'glib2-devel' - - -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308437
