When we use zypper install <package_name>, zypper installs the package along with its dependencies.
What exactly is happening in the background?
Are there any ways to obtain the URL of a specific package(or rpm) using zypper(or any other tool)?

  • $ man zypper en.opensuse.org/SDB:Zypper_manual_(plain) .... Standards RepoInfo en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Standards_RepoInfo ... Your repo : /etc/zypp/repos.d/ ( The *.repo files use the same format as yum/dnf in Fedora: linux.die.net/man/5/yum.conf → section "[repository] OPTIONS".)

  • I looked up both of the links that you have provided. But I couldn't find a direct way to find the URL to a specific package or rpm like yumdownloader provides. Isn't there such an option in Zypper?

  • zypper se name ( or part of name ). .... # zypper install --download-only [package-name] .... I don't know anything like yum-utils, yumdownloader --urls [name]. doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/… .... Suggest : Get the url´s from the repo site download.opensuse.org

  • I'm trying to do it programmatically. So manually going to download.opensuse.org to find the URL won't help. Anyway, thank you.
