"CheckInstall is a computer program for Unix-like operating systems which eases the installation and uninstallation of software compiled from source by making use of package management systems. After software compilation it can automatically generate a Slackware-, RPM-, or Debian-compatible package that can later be cleanly uninstalled through the appropriate package manager." When I install something from openrepos I am often wondering how to uninstall it. Am I reading correctly that checkinstall might show me the packages that are installed with a certain program on openrepos and weither those packages are used only by this program and that in that case they can be removed? Because that is something I think I would need.
for i in $(ssu lr 2>&1 | grep openrepos- | cut -d" " -f3); do zypper search -i -r $i ; done
