Yet, the decision was driven by what Novell sees its business needs and thus is not up for discussion.
was there any discussion in the community about this?
Yes, earlier today an announcement was made about a business decision.
I think it very unfriendly for Novell to make so hudge change without asking the rest of the community. May be some other Novell tasks could be less important for openSUSE than SaX2...
You must remember that Novell does *not* work for the "Community", but donates time and money toward bettering the "Community" Project. Their decision is no different than you choosing to use another distro, except it was based on their current business conditions.
I just want to say that Sax2 is mandatory now. On 11.2, changing a monitor for a worst one, with less resolution, let the user without solution and without screen (I had this on two very different computers)
the solution is sax2 -a, simply, so may be a very simplifyed sax2 is enough (may be a simple script)
Then the "Community" must pick up the pieces. I cannot believe that Novell will not continue to support SaX2 for SLE11, so it *should* not dissappear toooo soon. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
