[opensuse-edu] New netbeans package for openSUSE 11.2
by Michal Vyskocil 14 Jun '09

14 Jun '09

Hi all. As you may know, I'm the maintainer of Java packages in openSUSE. For last several weeks, I have worked on new netbeans package for openSUSE. The current situation is bad, because we have two different packages: 1.) One out dated in non-free repository 2.) One up-to-date in Education, but not built from source code I used netbeans specfile created by Sun's developers for Fedora and Mandriva and imported all other necessary dependencies (freemarker, lucene, hsqldb, excalibur-*, ...), so this package have a good quality and should be supported. Those packages was submitted to Factory. Some of them are in, some are in internal pre-Factory repository, some are still waiting on legal review and netbeans itself and netbeans-subversion are waiting on changes in subversion package, which needs to be propagated in Factory. The new netbeans package (including dependencies) is currently available in Java:packages [1] BuildService project. I spent some effort to make it building on openSUSE 11.1 too to make it easier for you to test it. The Factory version is now blocked by another update of toolchain, so the 11.1 should be installable immediately. This version will replace the netbeans package in nonfree repository in openSUSE 11.2. It would be nice if Education project will use it too, but not sure what they exactly needs. So please try to install and test this new netbeans package and let me know if anything is wrong. In current build the binary file is missing in /usr/bin. To start of netbeans please use: /usr/share/netbeans/6.5/bin/netbeans [1] http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Java:/packages/ BTW: I'm going to vacation and I'll be back on Monday, so I'll be unable to respond. Thanks for your help Michal Vyskocil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-edu] New: openSUSE-Education Moodle page
by Lars Vogdt 06 Jun '09

06 Jun '09

Hi FYI: http://www.opensuse-education.org/moodle/ awaits your submissions! :-) I think the main target of the new moodle page should be about: * openSUSE * openSUSE-Education * Educational applications But maybe someone has additional ideas? Note: Cyberorg already submitted the first Course Content - so it's time to learn moodle'ing! Nubae, Cyberorg and me are normally available in irc://irc.freenode.net/opensuse-edu to answer your questions about moodle (and openSUSE ;-). But you can also ask here in the mailinglist or in our moodle instance directly. Users with an existing account from http://www.opensuse-education.org/ can login directly. If you didn't have an account, just create a new one - you just need a valid email address.

[opensuse-edu] Package pianobooster waits for testers
by Lars Vogdt 04 Jun '09

04 Jun '09

Hi Piano Booster, a MIDI file player that displays the musical notes and teaches in a fun way how to play the piano, waits for testers. You can find/install the package via software.o.o: http://software.opensuse.org/search?p=1&q=pianobooster Note: To run Piano Booster you will need some MIDI files preferably with right and left piano parts on channels 4 and 3 - and (of course) a midi capable soundcard. Would be really cool if somebody can test the package and perhaps offer some free example midi files!
