Suse doesn't make tripwire, they don't maintain tripwire, they don't do anything except add tripwire to their distro. They add, best guess, over 3000 different rpm packages to their distro. I don't find it terrible that each and every one of those aren't fully quality tested and that they don't work the first time. Sure, they shouldn't include it if they didn't test it, but really who is going to sit there and test each and every package. Is there anyone here who test each and every package distributed with Suse? I think not.
So if they do not test such an important thing like tripwire, they should either get more people for QA, or cut down on adding stuff. Especially "important" stuff like yet another tetris clone and such.
So what, a package doesn't work, go get the source and compile/install it yourself. That's what Linux is all about, you don't have to use the proprietary vendors stuff ALL the time.
no problem with that, but IF a package is on the CD, i wanna be sure that someone at the distributors offices has at least made sure that it WORKS. bye, MH -- Die unaufgeforderte Zusendung einer Werbemail an Privatleute verstößt gegen §1 UWG und 823 I BGB (Beschluß des LG Berlin vom 2.8.1998 Az: 16 O 201/98).
