Where is Package Group: Development (kdevelop4)

English Install/Boot/Login

I hunted down kdevelop4 through yast. I found it finally by entering “Integrated Development Environment” in the search text box, clicking “Description” only, and clicking Search. I’m backtracking now to figure out how to find it and other development tools/ide’s quicker in the future.

I clicked the Technical Data tab for kdevelop4 and in the details, “Package Group” shows “Development/Tools/IDE”.

In Yast, I then clicked on the “Package Groups” tab and searched on the left-hand side for “Development”. But it’s now there.

In OpenSuSE 10.3, when I viewed the Package Groups tree structure, there was a node, “Development” which contained kdevelop3. But I can’t seem to find the “Development” Package Group in OpenSuSE 11.2.

Thank you.

Try Programming,

look in patterns Development to zero on a particular language.

I did not think that KDE4 development was working yet.

I didn’t see kdevelop4 under the “Patterns” tab, “Development”.

I checked the Pattern “KDE Development”, “Web Development”, and “Integrated Development Environment” first. When I didn’t see it there, I went through each Pattern under "Development. I never saw kdevelop4.

And, there is no “Package Group” “Development/Tools/IDE” even though that is what is displayed in the details for kdevelop4. It does appear in the “Package Group” “All Packages”.

Is it me :slight_smile: or YaST/OpenSuSE 11.2 repository?

Thank you.

If KDE4 development is still unstable, and I think it is, you may need to do a search via Package search in yast. For the most part Suse is pretty conservative on putting new stuff out. Might be in the factory repo. Warning if you do get it from a non-stable repo do not keep the repo active. disable it since updates can get out of whack if are are pulling from unstable builds. So after you install disable the repo it came from you should only have the base 3 or 4 repos active. You can periodically check for updates to the development package by turning the repo back on and see if there is a newer version available. Don’t forget to turn the repo off when you are done.
