How can I download apps from OpenRepos using the command line interface (CLI)?
Hereby the challenge is:
A simple...
wget https://openrepos.net/sites/default/files/packages/6416/harbour-mashka-0.2.0-1.armv7hl.rpm
... would just download the specified version number. However, I want to always download the newest version of the app instead of a specific version.
Any ideas for that? :-)

use pkcon downloadhttp://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/pkcon.1.html
for example:
pkcon download --filter=newest . harbour-recorder
Thanks a lot for your reply! Just for better understanding: Assumed I want to download this app: https://openrepos.net/content/osetr/recorder-fork
Do I have to type pkcon download --filter=newest https://openrepos.net/content/osetr/recorder-fork?
Why did you only write . harbour-recorder? There is no URL specified? And even with an empty space behind the .?
@Picanha: The . character is a short handle in UNIX terminals. It simply refers to the current directory.
And I guess alochkowski presumes you have Storeman installed. Unless I'm mistaken, this app adds OpenRepos to the repositories pkcon knows about.
So what the above comment would then mean: Download the package registered by the name harbour-recorder into the current directory.
in Storeman you can add repo to your reposotories file. But you cand do it from terminal as well. Just forgot to write that first you have to add repository with this app to you repositories file.
