[opensuse-edu] Some suggestions
Greetings! 1. It's good that there is the last version of StarDict, but may be you include also its word sounds and GPL dictionaries. 2. I'm glad to see wxMaxima and Octave, but may be you include also Scilab (program for numerical computations with own GUI) as to me it's better than Octave. 3. Gperiodic (periodic table of elements) and Little Wizard (programming for children).

thank you, I will look into it. Any chance you build RPM's ? -- James Tremblay Director of Technology Newmarket School District Newmarket,NH http://en.opensuse.org/Education "let's make a difference" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help@opensuse.org
1. For StarDict is needed only noarch packages. 2. Scilab is powerful and complex program and it can be built with gtk interface so I assume that it should be difficult to package it. Also it has not GPL license see details in http://www.scilab.org/legal/index_legal.php?page=faq.html#q6 Is it possible to include such kind of software? 3. http://www.kdau.com/projects/gelemental/ - periodic table viewer (derived from Gperidic) and http://littlewizard.sourceforge.net/ - programming for children If you find them good I'll try to make packages both of them.

Kirill, It is not possible to include non GPL'd software. Your other suggestions look very nice and applicable to our needs. I would like to include them. Do you have a build service account? I can place you name in the edu-desktop maintainers list if you do. We must speak with Lars before we add packages to the desktop repository, so that he is aware of their existence and your willingness to work on them.

Hi Kirill
FYI: I've updated the stardict package in Factory (for 10.3) already.
Now it's the same as in the Education:desktop buildservice repository.
Next would be the stardict-tools package containing the
startdict-editor and some conversion scripts for dictionaries. (The
package is already available in the Education:desktop repository, but
I like to have it for 10.3, too.)

1. For StarDict is needed only noarch packages.
I've looked at the stardict homepage and I'm a bit confused about the available dictionaries. (They support too much for me ;-) Can you please tell me which dictionaries are needed first?
2. Scilab is powerful and complex program and it can be built with gtk interface so I assume that it should be difficult to package it. Also it has not GPL license see details in http://www.scilab.org/legal/index_legal.php?page=faq.html#q6 Is it possible to include such kind of software?
I see no problem - we can include it: "You can reproduce and distribute Scilab software on any support as long as you do not modify Scilab software." and "Scilab license allows you to: * use freely Scilab for non commercial use[...]" So even if it's not GPL, we can build it in the buildservice and distribute it via the Edu-CD.
3. http://www.kdau.com/projects/gelemental/ - periodic table viewer (derived from Gperidic) and http://littlewizard.sourceforge.net/ - programming for children If you find them good I'll try to make packages both of them.
Both looked ok in my eyes. If you like to have a buildservice account, just create a "wiki account" and tell me your account name. If you have any questions about packaging, please let me know and|or subscribe to the opensuse-packaging@opensuse.org mailing list.
