https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=332695 Summary: packaging: provide repo with the latest "obsolete"/unsupported packages Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bluedzins@wp.pl QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Such repo could be called UNSUPPORTED, or ARCHIVE. Reason: there are some software that works beautifully , but it is not included with newer version of opensuse. Examples: cups 1.2 does not work so well as cups 1.1, smbfs is completely removed from opensuse. But this software is valuable, useful and simply ___WORKS___. This is key issue here. So please, add repo with older versions of software which is well known of its usefulness. And why like that: because it should be easier for user to make her/his hardware cooperate with suse, not by searching tons of pages, but simply trying old, well testes software. Bottom line: user should not be "lucky" that suse works with hardware, it should be normal. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
