I subscribed to them as well and will forward the message to those. I recognized a very low traffic on the Education ml, is that project still active?

Yes, that sounds like a good idea, and I guess the openfate page Vojtěch pointed is a good starting point, especially https://features.opensuse.org/309007 where some people have already listed a bunch of desired packages. The page already contains a growing list for popular scientific software. I just added there packages I would like to see in openSUSE. Maybe you would like to add your wishes there as well? The question is how to proceed with the voting for packages question, since it is probably unreasonable to vote for "Yes, I want to have the 150 packages in opensuse" since some people has to do some work then, concerning especially those package which have not been packaged yet at all in OBS. Lots of things to discuss :) Kind regards Andre -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJOJIctAAoJEA79ggnbq9dmUTMH/34GFN+BDtqtTbqzTzYHynrZ CavEs0033/NHkqO23JqXPWZ0ks2x8O0cn5gWsQdkK+Nouomg/agvHtQU0rXt5tcr 1s/Jc/4JH4QJbGBh/YZu/I6S+NP4zL9BFGdkIrbhEYABZyEJ7nNxUsG5xcEuZRNo nBMcF8iB1AULH3cl7uWqcuxaCdPqxlTYVfxUfxvPM6cPxQFAfrnf61Hvs56XErBi +6nj1fx9PGxPqwOFcquhsQNLthtWpGceoIbTXGn5wTapxAv3M9stJrrC4ewAca/S Xo5K9cR4jZOxmoYotT7hKpqfnbpBwSTYTBMb3DDtXNvwBfDXmA7LVaMsKCUik64= =RzqY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi Listmate, Any thought about this $Subject ? http://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2011-July/035859.html I just already filled (upstream) bugs related to the issues: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6560 http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6561 Are those known problem on openSUSE? I do not yet trying to reproduce it on clean install on another computer, but I'll get you to know when it is done. Note: Please, correct me if I'm posting the thread on wrong list. Thanks in advance.
