How to build an rpm on the old http://old-en.opensuse.org/Google_Earth/rpm
That's what I wrote ;)
But as the obs rules specify that we can't host non free package on obs, the repo of the author doesn't contain a pre-made package. So at the end, we need a space to publish that, and check if it's legal to have it online. So a careful reading of the license is needed too. (Not the most funniest part)
At your place, I would open an openFATE explaining how it could be cool for end-users to have an rpm of GoogleEarth. (if you open it, try to ping back me the link, so I can watch it)
Hé Richard, you need to refresh the wiki page for version 6 and openSUSE 11.3 and 11.4 :-)
Otherwise I saw the bug with the won't fix, and it will certainly be as this for a long time. I've check the license quickly, and there's the US Export restriction, so there's no way to distribute everywhere by any legal way.
So users will have to fight themselves with the software. Perhaps we can prepare a meta-package that check and resolve the dependencies before the download and installation of the .bin (which install right in /opt/googleearth when launch by root)
That can find easily it's place in Contrib
I've summed up a few related findings here (although a bit dated): http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/earth/thread?tid=3e5b58f141268929&hl=en Given that they completely _ignore_ such detailed reports, I've tagged this project with a big and fat "arrogant morons" flag internally. It's exactly this attitude, that _I_ hate from google. What I would suggest, that we try to find a place in build service, where we provide/nurse the specs only, since it is a painful process to find a matching combination of libs with the lowest prebuild portion possible (that probably needs adjustments for all supported openSUSE versions). We could try to provide some libs there built as compatible as possible, if necessary.
