I need to find out what repo 'git-core' comes from. 

$ zypper search git-core Refreshing service 'nu_novell_com'. Removing repository 'SLE11-WebYaST-SP1-Pool' [done] Removing repository 'SLE11-WebYaST-SP1-Updates' [done] Adding repository 'SLES11-SP2-Updates' [done] Adding repository 'SLE11-WebYaST-SP2-Pool' [done] Adding repository 'SLES11-SP2-Extension-Store' [done] Adding repository 'SLES11-SP2-Core' [done] Adding repository 'SLE11-WebYaST-SP2-Updates' [done] Adding repository 'SLE11-SP2-Debuginfo-Core' [done] Adding repository 'SLE11-SP2-Debuginfo-Updates' [done] Retrieving repository 'SLES11-SP2-Core' metadata [done] Building repository 'SLES11-SP2-Core' cache [done] Retrieving repository 'SLES11-SP2-Extension-Store' metadata [done] Building repository 'SLES11-SP2-Extension-Store' cache [done] Retrieving repository 'SLES11-SP2-Updates' metadata [done] Building repository 'SLES11-SP2-Updates' cache [done] Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... S | Name | Summary | Type --+----------+----------------+-------- i | git-core | Core git tools | package

Searching the man pages for zypper, it seems like 'what-provides' would provide this information. It just says "System Packages". 

$zypper what-provides git-core Refreshing service 'nu_novell_com'. Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... S | Name | Type | Version | Arch | Repository --+----------+---------+----------------+--------+------------------------------------------------------------------ v | git-core | package | 2.0.0-201.1 | x86_64 | Software configuration management (SLE_11_SP2) v | git-core | package | 1.6.0.2-7.31.2 | x86_64 | SUSE-Linux-Enterprise-Software-Development-Kit-11-SP2 11.2.2-1.66 v | git-core | package | 2.0.0-201.1 | i586 | Software configuration management (SLE_11_SP2) i | git-core | package | 1.8.4-165.1 | x86_64 | (System Packages)

These are the repos that exist. 

ls /etc/zypp/repos.d/ nu_novell_com:SLE11-SP2-Debuginfo-Core.repo nu_novell_com:SLES11-SP1-Pool.repo nu_novell_com:SLE11-SP2-Debuginfo-Updates.repo nu_novell_com:SLES11-SP1-Updates.repo nu_novell_com:SLE11-WebYaST-SP2-Pool.repo nu_novell_com:SLES11-SP2-Core.repo nu_novell_com:SLE11-SP1-Debuginfo-Pool.repo nu_novell_com:SLE11-WebYaST-SP2-Updates.repo nu_novell_com:SLES11-SP2-Extension-Store.repo nu_novell_com:SLE11-SP1-Debuginfo-Updates.repo nu_novell_com:SLES11-Extras.repo nu_novell_com:SLES11-SP2-Updates.repo

On CentOS I would run a repoquery or yum info. How can I tell which repo git 1.8.4 comes from on sles?

Update

I fixed this by using a SLES 11 SP2 image instead of SLES 11 SP1. Leaving question open if someone can still answer the question.

simple zypper info package

for listing repos zypper lr

@System means package is installed but not available in any repo

LANG=C zypper info perl-BSXML Loading repository data... Reading installed packages...

Information for package perl-BSXML: ----------------------------------- Repository : @System Name : perl-BSXML Version : 0.0-3.9 Arch : x86_64 Vendor : obs://build.opensuse.org/devel:languages:perl Installed Size : 18.3 KiB Installed : Yes Status : up-to-date Summary : XML templates for the BuildService Description : XML templates for the BuildService. See XML/Structured.

so Repository is @System and Vendor links to obs project from which package come

I have SLES 11.4, from that SLES SDK 11.4 it has git version 1.7.12.4-0.18.6.1.

The SDK for SLES 12.3 has git 2.12.3-26.1.

the git-core package is found under the software development kit part of SLES. Look to download SLE-11-SP4-SDK-DVD-x86_64-GM-DVD1.iso or whatever the correct version corresponds to your operating system version.

once SLES is registered for updates/patches, you can also find git under SLE11-SDK-SP4-Pool and SLE11-SDK-SP4-Updates. {should be SP2 in your case since you said you have SLES 11 sp2}

if you need a specific git version, you would likely need to download the git source from https://git-scm.com/downloads look under the older releases and you can get git-1.8.4.1.tar.gz through git-1.8.4.5.tar.gz

** just notice the repo list you posted, has no SDK. I am guessing your system was created and when it was registered there was no original SLES 11.2 SDK used... normally you have two repo's listed the SLES 11.x install dvd or iso, and the SLES 11.x SDK dvd or iso. If you miss having the SDK present prior to registering the system to get the repositories, it does not (or did not back in 11sp2 days) automatically give you the SDK repository.
