Getting specific packages with slapt-get
Hi, newbie question here-
I am using slapt-get to get packages. I want to get Python, but if i do slapt-get --search python I get pages of results eg: python 2.3.1-i486-1 [inst=no]: python (object-oriented interpreted programming language) python-demo 2.3.1-noarch-1 [inst=no]: python-demo (Sample Python programs) python-tools 2.3.1-noarch-1 [inst=no]: python-tools (Tools for building or extending Python) kdebindings 3.2.1-i486-1 [inst=no]: kdebindings etc etc.... how can I specify WHICH one I want? If I do slapt-get --search "python 2.3.1-i486-1" it doesnt find anything. How do you do expressions with slapt-get? Thanks |
add a pipe after the command or do a man slap-get

Sorry, I dont think I explained that fully. What I need is to be able to specify one of the options to install - like:
slapt-get --install "python 2.3.etcetc" There is nothing in the man pages about it - it just says to use: slapt-get --install [expression] And i dont know what an [expression] looks like! Im assuming its a regular expression, but I dont know what format it would be in. |
slapt-get --install python* should do the trick.
