  1. Could somebody explain to me in the: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories

It has sections with “:” and sections without the :

like


Apache/
Apache:/
Archiving/
Archiving:/
Banshee/
Banshee:/
benchmark/
benchmark:/
...
  1. Is there a way of searching through all of these or do I have to one by one in what I think is the correct section?

Thanks

Hi elfroggio,

The repos’ files system isn’t actually designed to browse through it. Well it is, but not to nonchalantly search for some programs. Better use YaST Software Management. Go for “view” - “repositories”.

, am with kasi042. Nornaly there is no reason to go to the repo site. one uses the tools made available for using repos/packages like zypper and YaST > Software.

So better explain why you want to look there and what you mean with “I think is the correct section”. As long as we do not know what you think, we certainly can not understand what you mean with “correct section”. “correct” for what?

Users will want to select the repo which works. Qmapshack is somewhat troubled. Thus I temporarily switch from Application_Geo to home_kukuk_qmapshack:

Search for extra versions at https://software.opensuse.org/

The most end-user friendly is software.opensuse.org (except Leap 15.4 search is broken as expected). You can also use build.opensuse.org (which is the source of binaries published on download.opensuse.org and directories on download.o.o correspond directly to projects on build.o.o).

Without “:” is the repository with packages built inside this project, with “:” leads to further subprojects.
