Description Francis Giannaros 2007-02-22 13:58:44 UTC
It's pretty handy to be able to i.e. do:
zypper install 'beryl*' 

...to install all the beryl* packages, or, say:
zypper install 'kde*Messenger'

I notice that this will be an issue if zypper is meant to handle local/HTTP/FTP RPMs, so perhaps the wildcards can only be activated when you use quotes, as above. I believe APT/Smart handle it this way, too.

Jano is taking over as the primary maintainer of zypper, I am a co-maintainer.

Since I can't see the FATE entry, I'm just wondering: is this planned for 10.3?
Comment 5 Jan Kupec 2007-08-17 07:26:07 UTC
It was, but we've had not enough resources :O( We'll try for the next release.
