Which software is available?

[hello_from_russia!]

Hi! I have some repository, can anybody answer me how can I look which software is available to install from it? Thanks!

Look in System -> Add/Remove.

Ok, so what I must choose in the list "Show"? There're "All available applications", "All open sources applications", "Canonical-maintainted applications", "Third party applications"...

Hello from USA -

I don't know if this is what you need, but it may help:

What exactly do you mean by "I have some repository"?
With the System->Add/Remove utility you can select and install all packages that are available.
If you have a non-standard repository already added to /etc/apt/sources.list (or via System->SoftwareSources), then packages contained in there will show up in the Add/Remove utility once you updated the database with:
sudo apt-get update
The packages contained within a particular repository are listed in /var/lib/apt/lists in the ...*Packages-Files. For a particular site, you can find which packages are contained there using the grep command, for example:
grep Package: archive.canonical.com*Packages
grep Package: archive.ubuntu.com*main*Packages
and so on.
