http://software.opensuse.org/download/filesystems/openSUSE_Factory/
does not have my ntfs-3g package, it has the package from the openSUSE
buildservice, which is provided by a community member and he hasn't updated
hist RPM. I think we should contact him and remove his rpm from the
buildservice because it is obsolete.
You can get my lastest ntfs-3g rpm currently from:
http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source...
I think it's best to reassign this to the CD/DVD creation team to include
ntfs-3g
on the DVD and CDs, and once that is done to Michael who said libzypp
does not yet support file system packages due to a bug to get this bug fixed.
OTOH, as currently sold external USB harddisks are of a size (larger than 32GB)
at which the format tool of Windows does not allow the creation of FAT32
filesystems, those drives only have NTFS filesystem and so to get plug-and-play
mounting working with out-of-the-box-formatted modern USB harddisks by default,
we should install ntfs-3g anyways independent of if the system has NTFS
filesystems already accessible.
Reassigning to Rudi, he'll know which route this should take.
PS, a short personal note of my use of NTFS-3g: To access all my external USB
disks, I've been using ext2 drivers for Windows so far, but they are not
maintained anymore and have bugs which cause some Windows XP installation to
bluescreen and are corrupting the ext2 filesystems also, so I'm switching to
ntfs-3g for all my external USB disks (which have a capacity of nearly 3TB
currently...), using ntfs-3g as the only interoperability solution in that area
which looks good, so I see no alternative to ntfs-3g for me.
