(please cc me as I am not on the list, thanks) Hi opensuse-project, (note: I am sending this here because I'm not sure where else to send it. I registered in bugzilla, but there doesn't seem to be a good place to file this bug. Also there doesn't appear to be a mailing list that's a better fit either so...) I was looking on the website and I had problems finding the source for 11.2. I looked on http://software.opensuse.org/112/en http://en.opensuse.org/Download_Help http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/iso/ On http://mirrors.opensuse.org/ there is a column for 11.2 source, but none of the mirrors in the US have it? And very few mirrors in the world do? Eventually I found it at http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/suse/src/ but it was pretty non-intuitive and buried. I was also expecting to find a source ISO, but I guess there aren't any? Providing a source ISO would, * make it a lot easier to download (and verify) the full source for a release * make it easier for mirrors to provide the source. As noted above hardly any do right now, I suspect if source ISOs were available nearly all would. * allow people distributing binary CDs/DVDs to distribute source as well I think this would help them fulfil the requirements of the GPLv2, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#UnchangedJustBinary http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DistributeWithSourceOnInternet * make opensuse as cool and Debian and Fedora :) Could you please consider making source ISOs and making it easy to find on the website? Thanks, -- Matt Taggart taggart@fossology.org P.S. it was difficult for me to participate, I had to create a novell account (which wanted to send me things by default) in order to use bugzilla, and I had to subscribe to opensuse-project in order to send this mail. Had I known it was going to be this much trouble I might not have bothered... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
