I am attempting to transition from Debian to Suse. I notice the package manager does not have as many apps, I added a bunch of new repos but I still could not find my favorite password manager Revelation. I tried to install a download but had dependency problems?
How can I get this installed or added to my package repos?
If you are going to recommend a tarball, please tell me how to compile and install it. Us Debian folks have it easy with Synaptic and Gdebi. :sarcastic:
Thanks Bob
[edit] looks like i was too slow 
I have never heard or used Revelation before, but a quick search on software.opensuse.org and i did find it, and it is also the latest version it seems (0.4.14)

First place to looks if not in the standard repos is:
http://software.opensuse.org/search

Us Debian folks have it easy with Synaptic and Gdebi.
…and we openSUSE-types have it easy with yast and zypper 
The others have already pointed you at where to look for software.

Why do you try to use a “gtk” based application when kwallet(i believe
it is atndard for KDE) offers better integration with KDE desktop ?

GNOME 3.6.2
openSUSE Release 12.3 (Dartmouth) 64-bit
Kernel Linux 3.7.10-1.16-desktop

Kwallet does not seem to be able to import any thing? I tried to import my passwords and it did not work?
And thanks for the replies, I caught that software link reading through a couple of other posts.
I think I will catch on?
GNOME 3.6.2
openSUSE Release 12.3 (Dartmouth) 64-bit
Kernel Linux 3.7.10-1.16-desktop
Good reading, I will add that to my Suse links

Careful: it is best not to add many repos, just those you really need.
Conflicts between versions of same packages (or worse: libraries) can arise.

Revelation installed, but it would not open, it was starting by never appeared, I might just go with Keepass since I already have it and I can use it on any OS.
I already added a bunch of Repos, Is there a list of default ones, so I can remove some?
“Defaults”:
OSS
Non-OSS
Update
Update-non-oss
Packman
Hello everyone!
I recently switched to Suse after a long time with debian and the like, so I had all my passwords on a revelation file.
So, when I couldn’t find Revelation, I started panicking. And when I installed it and it didn’t run, I panicked again
So, here goes:
Open the terminal and run “revelation”. I do this with most programs that don’t run graphically, as it produces some error messages that can be helpful. Here are mine (yes I have fixed that in my PC :D)
~> revelation
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/revelation", line 28, in <module>
from revelation import config, data, datahandler, dialog, entry, io, ui, util
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/revelation/__init__.py", line 26, in <module>
import util
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/revelation/util.py", line 26, in <module>
import datetime, cracklib, gettext, math, os, random, shlex, string, StringIO, traceback
ImportError: No module named cracklib
So…
~>aptitude install cracklib-devel python-cracklib
cracklib-devel isn’t necessary but I did it anyway
Again then
~> revelation
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/revelation", line 28, in <module>
from revelation import config, data, datahandler, dialog, entry, io, ui, util
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/revelation/__init__.py", line 28, in <module>
import datahandler
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/revelation/datahandler/__init__.py", line 29, in <module>
from fpm import FPM
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/revelation/datahandler/fpm.py", line 32, in <module>
from Crypto.Cipher import Blowfish
After a quick search, the culprit is…
aptitude install python-pycrypto python3-pycrypto
Then it ran for me. I don’t know if some other libraries are also involved but I didn’t add any old repos from debian / ubuntu / whatever. I am a bit wary for the graphical interface and the libraries it will require but maybe I shouldn’t. Anyway, after you install those you should be good to go hopefully! :|)
Thanks for the help, but I am officially on KeePass, I can use it in any environment. I did however prefer the Revelation interface, just wish it would sort the entries?
It also also sweet that I can sync it with KeePass on my Samsung Galaxy. lol!
