JOSM download openSUSE 15.2

For the rpm in openSUSE downloaded by YAST the repository location for  JOSM is

https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Application:/Geo/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/

when the RPM is not updated yet, just download the josm-tested.jar and copy it to /usr/share/java (root rights needed)

Re: JOSM download openSUSE 15.2

Maybe I can make an

rpm

package running on my EasyOS-Linux.
But, sorry, as a openstreetmap-beginner I do neither understand the information about the suse-file, pls, nor do I get it!
My purpose Is just opening a *.osm - file and look into it.
Gratitude is my second surname, thank you in advance for any advice!

.osm file is an XML file. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_XML
you can see the data as text with any text editor, or in a "map" with josm https://josm.openstreetmap.de/
or use any other tool that process the data to get the result you need, e.g. a list of cities, a list of parks, etc.

Re: JOSM download openSUSE 15.2

This note was meant as a correction/addition on the JOSM installation Wiki, where the info concerning openSUE was updated through version 15.0.
Since the new package was not available yet, I described the workaround to update to the recent stable version of JOSM, so one is not fully depending on the time available for  packagers to update asap

Other distros may use a different file location.
