Solution like Yum for SuSE?

Zakirium · 02-15-2005, 10:10 PM

I was reading about a tool called Yum, which helped ease the problem of a dependency hell in red hat and fedora core. It somehow queried a database and installed many of the dependencies for you, making it a lot easier. Is there a solution similar to this in SuSE or are you stuck downloading each one individually from the internet?

Thanks.

You can use apt-get in SuSE. If you do a search here, you'll find the needed files and repositories.

when you say here, do you mean linuxquestions.org?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Yes, I did mean here. You'll also find more details here. (The latter is offsite.)

I have been reading through information about rpm-get and I have a question. What are RPM keys and what are their purpose?
