Hi List I have created a bug requesting adding the google-talkplugin to openSUSE Non free, please review and add your support :)
We cannot just include packages without a license - and for most non-free packages we would probably need a redistribution license from Google - and those are not easy to get.
For these kind of packages, it's really better to download them yourself,
In principle I agree with what you've said Andreas... the issue here is... Goggle is not (yet?) providing a package for openSUSE. There is only a package for Ubuntu... thus there is nothing available to "download yourself".
Yes, this is unfortunate - but with the unclear legal situation, we cannot do it. I hope Google will provide an RPM, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
