Please, could you please explain what does this mean?
Simply means that the product is no longer maintained for linux and is dropped. If you want acrobat reader you will need to download and install it and maintain it yourself.
Hm, personally I don't use acroread. Nevertheless I think it shouldn't have been removed because we know it's still needed for many cases. Just add it again, don't install per default, warn the user that it's broken and unmaintained. Maybe remove it from DVD but keep it in non-oss repo. For me it makes no sense to remove it completely just to tell everybody that they should download the same manually... BTW what about the update scenario? Will it be removed when upgrading to 13.1? I guess not - so the broken acroread issue is probably not fixed on upgrade anyway. And if our acroread scruples would be really honest then we would need to remove it from 12.x too via zypper patch. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
