I think we ought to keep acroread in the distro simply because it's about usability. The current suggestions:
a) download it from adobe yourself b) use something else

By removing acroread, we are sacrificing critical usability because of a rule about unmaintained software. I suggest we reconsider and wait until the alternatives have caught up. Once we have a mature plug-compatible alternative, we can remove acroread.
package up a download-and-install-the-fly script
surely acroread is no more unmaintained than microsoft true type fonts from 15 years ago?
But software that renders them is maintained ;-) -- Michal HRUSECKY SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. openSUSE Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xFED656F6 19000 Praha 9 mhrusecky[at]suse.cz Czech Republic http://michal.hrusecky.net http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
