I branched gnome-menus-legacy from 12.1 official repo into my 12.2 repo, because it’s deprecated and not available anymore (I need gmenu.so, which is in python-gnome-menus). The package - including python-gnome-menus - built and is in repo since yesterday.
The repo is up to date. However, the package can not be found:
# zypper -v in -r PTA gnome-menus-legacy
Verbosity: 1
Non-option program arguments: 'gnome-menus-legacy'

I downloaded libgnome-menu and python-gnome-menus from the repo directory (Index of /repositories/home:/please_try_again/openSUSE_12.2/x86_64) and installed these packages. So I got the python module I needed. But I would like to understand why I could not install gnome-menus-legacy, which would have installed thoses packages too. BTW, I couldn’t install any of these packages without downloading them manually. How come?
Oh. That’s right. But I tried to install gnome-menus-legacy-devel too (gnome-menus-legacy-devel-3.0.1-1.1.x86_64.rpm) and I didn’t work either. Which one of these packages should I have installed in order to install python-gnome-menus? None of these works:
# zypper in gnome-menus-legacy-devel
# zypper in libgnome-menu2
# zypper in python-gnome-menus
