suse-get - SuSE Linux RPM download tool
suse-get is a simple tool that helps downloading of RPM packages that are going to be installed on a SuSE machine.
Usage
This is an example of using suse-get:
markus@tweety:~/projects/suse-get> ./suse-get apache Please choose one ================= 1) ./suse/i586/apache-1.3.27-38.i586.rpm 2) ./suse/i586/apache-example-pages-1.3.27-38.i586.rpm 3) ./suse/i586/apache2-2.0.44-32.i586.rpm 4) ./suse/i586/apache2-example-pages-2.0.44-32.i586.rpm 5) ./suse/i586/apache-contrib-1.0.9-577.i586.rpm 6) ./suse/i586/apache-devel-1.3.27-38.i586.rpm 7) ./suse/i586/apache-doc-1.3.27-38.i586.rpm 8) ./suse/i586/apache2-devel-2.0.44-32.i586.rpm 9) ./suse/i586/apache2-doc-2.0.44-32.i586.rpm 10) ./suse/i586/apache2-jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.1.18-25.i586.rpm 11) ./suse/i586/apache2-mod_perl-1.99_08-23.i586.rpm 12) ./suse/i586/apache2-mod_php4-4.3.1-24.i586.rpm 13) ./suse/i586/apache2-prefork-2.0.44-32.i586.rpm 14) ./suse/i586/apache2-worker-2.0.44-32.i586.rpm #?
Just type in the number to get the named RPM. It will be downloaded and saved in the current directory. The switch "-i" can be used to install the downloaded package.
Limitations
The current version is not able to resolve dependencies. If you would like to have suse-get like apt-get, look at the apt4rpm page. Maybe I'll implement dependency functionality, but since I'm using bash it will be kind of slow which is maybe not the 'right' thing.
There is also a CHANGELOG available.
