I am sorry if this has been asked before, but I could not find anything on it. My question is: How do you check the repository which provided a package using the zypper command ?
You mean you can not find this in
man zypper

Mmmm…
There is this:
Telcontar:~ # zypper --no-refresh info man
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Information for package man:
----------------------------
Repository: openSUSE-13.1-Oss <======
Name: man
Version: 2.6.3-9.1.3
Arch: x86_64
Vendor: openSUSE
Installed: Yes
Status: up-to-date
Installed Size: 1.8 MiB
Summary: A Program for Displaying man Pages
Description:
A program for displaying man pages on the screen or sending them to a
printer (using groff).
Telcontar:~ #
But that is far from usable, as a query. I do not know how to simply
produce a list of packages and the repos they came from.
The rpm database query does not keep that information, as far as I know;
but it could be I don’t know what tag they use, if they use any.
cer@Telcontar:~> rpm --querytags | grep -i repo
cer@Telcontar:~>
For some repos, it can be deduced from the “vendor” field, like packman,
which uses “http://packman.links2linux.de”, or wine, which uses
“obs://build.opensuse.org/Emulators”.

To display a package’s origins and information
zypper info *packagename*
So, for instance in Carlos’ example above the repo that package came from is the OSS repo.

Hi
Here is a way to find packages installed by repository;
zypper pa -iR |grep `zypper lr -a **XX**|grep Name|cut -f2 -d":"|sed -e 's/^ ]*//'|cut -f1-2 -d " "`
Where XX is the repostory number (#)via zypper lr. If you don’t use -iR but just -R it will show all packages in the repo…
The question is a bit badly phrased. Did you want to know how to find an arbitrary package and which repo has it? zypper and rpm will only tell you installed packages and packages in active repos. If you want to find an arbitrary package that may not be in standard repos you use the web

Quite complex… I’ll try later, thanks.
Pity the “rpm” command can not provide that info in “querytags”.

I understand he wants to know where an already installed package came
from. I’ll check malcolmlewis idea later, it may be what /I/ want.

Hi
OK so you can use -r to specify the repository, eg;
zypper pa -r 11 -iR|grep -e "bash"
i | openSUSE 13.1 | bash | 4.2-68.1.5 | x86_64
i | openSUSE 13.1 | bash-doc | 4.2-68.1.5 | noarch
I’m sure some additional tweaks with grep/sed etc would help…

zypper --no-refresh se -si | awk '/bash/'
Some pretty format
zypper --no-refresh se -si | awk '/bash/{printf("%-20s %s
", $3,$NF)}'
This function might be useful if you want to have some kind of shortcut for checking your package.
CheckPackage(){
zypper --no-refresh se -si | awk -v pattern="$1" '$1 ~ /^[Si-]/ && $3 ~ pattern {printf("%-25s %-20s %s
", $3,$7,$NF)}'
}
I have given it a CheckPackage function name, you can name it to your own hearts content ;).
Put that code in your ~/.bashrc or some place you have your own functions. After that you can just run
CheckPackage «packagename»
To check for a specific package
ie
CheckPackage bash
or
CheckPackage
To show packages that are installed.
I know the formatting sucks, feel free to modify though :). Of course it will only print something if the package is installed, see
zypper help se
for info about the zypper part.
Some modification
'/^[Si-]/'
can just be
/^i/{next}
Since the first field starts with an i already because of the si from zypper. That means skip lines that do not start with an **i **
Here is the modified code.
CheckPackage(){
zypper --no-refresh se -si | awk -v pattern="$1" '$1 !~ /^i/{next} $3 ~ pattern {printf("%-25s %-20s %s
", $3,$7,$NF)}'
}
If you want to search for the exact package name, add some anchors to the package name.
ie.
CheckPackage '^bash$'
List packages from packman, where packman can be <alias|#|URI>
zypper --no-refresh se -si -r packman | awk '$1 ~ /^i/{print $3}'
A useful function
ListPack(){ zypper --no-refresh se -si -r "$1" | awk '$1 ~ /^i/{print $3}'; }
Usage:
ListPack «alias|#|URI»
ie
ListPack packman
ListPack 1
ListPack http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/13.1/
Again ListPack is arbitary ;).

Or:
zypper --no-refresh se -si
to produce the entire list, unsorted. However, it produces 9137 entries, while “rpm -qa | wc -l” produces 6154. The list of packages should be the same, shouldn’t it?
I have packages that were not installed from repos, some locally compiled. But 3000?
Ah, zypper also lists installed patches as if they were packages!

My current query is this:
rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME} %{INSTALLTIME:day} \
%{BUILDTIME:day} %-30{NAME} %15{VERSION}-%-7{RELEASE} %{arch} \
%25{VENDOR}%25{PACKAGER} == %{DISTRIBUTION} %{DISTTAG}
" | sort | cut --fields="2-" | tee rpmlist | less -S
It produces this type of list:

which has the entire list of installed packages, sorted by date (it is possible to sort on anything), and vendor. No repo data.
This other variant:
rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME};%{INSTALLTIME:day}; \
%{BUILDTIME:day}; %{NAME};%{VERSION}-%-7{RELEASE};%{arch}; \
%{VENDOR};%{PACKAGER};%{DISTRIBUTION};%{DISTTAG}
" \
| sort | cut --fields="2-" --delimiter=\; \
| tee rpmlist.csv | less -S
is the same list, but with fields separated with semicolons ‘;’, so that importing in a spreadsheet is trivial. Once there, you can do filters and searches to your heart content

Can you generate the same information with a zypper command, plus the repository name of each package?

ListPack () {
zypper --no-refresh se -si -r "$1" | awk '$5 !~ /package/{next}; $1 ~ /^i/{print $3}'
}
That should only print packages and not pattern or patch etc. I will not go with the extensive explanation like i always do because someone might start crying again lol!.
see
zypper help se
and
man awk

I assume you have to call that with some parameters. I see $1, $3 and
$5. I don’t know how you can generate a command line skipping parameters
2 and 4, and providing 1, 2, and 5 - nor what they should be. :-???

The “$1” before the pipe is a shell variable (positional parameter) and an argument to the zypper, which can be «alias|#|URI»
Those with the dollar sign after the pipe is part of the awk syntax which means fields. Starting from the first field which is $1 and the last field is $NF.
Awk is pattern , action so $5 !~ /package/ means if the fifth field is not package then skip it {next}.
$1 ~ /^i/ means if the first field starts with an i then print the third field {print $3}, again pattern action.

Ah, ok that’s what I needed to know, thanks
Those things in awk being like parameters in bash confused me completely.

zypper if [packagename]
Note: “if” = “info”
Look at the “Vendor” line.
