Feature changed by: Andi Sugandi (andisugandi) Feature #308243, revision 11 Title: Add Koha to openSUSE Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Andi Sugandi (andisugandi) Requested by: Glenn Doig (doiggl) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Adding Koha (package) to openSUSE will be awesome feature and advantages so librarians can also have opportunity to use openSUSE distributions. Koha is a full-featured open-source ILS: http://koha-community.org (http://koha-community.org) , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koha_ (software) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koha_(software)) . Discussion: #1: phanisvara das (phanisvara) (2012-04-21 06:23:32) +1 KOHA is a bit messy to install from scratch with all it's dependencies. for that reason i'm running debian on a server that might be openSUSE instead. debian have KOHA in their repos for a long time, and it's much easier to use & maintain than manually installing everything via CPAN, etc. #2: Andi Sugandi (andisugandi) (2012-04-21 11:28:17) (reply to #1) I already figure out an easy install of Koha on openSUSE 12.1: http://andi.opensuse-id.org/2012/03/12/dependency-packages-for-koha-3-6-4-on... (http://andi.opensuse-id.org/2012/03/12/dependency-packages-for-koha-3-6-4-on...) So now there will be easier for maintainers to package Koha on OBS. #3: Lars Vogdt (lrupp) (2012-04-26 00:41:10) What about using the already available package https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=koha&project=Education (https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=koha&project=Education) as base for your experiments? Simply login, create a branch of the package, do your changes to bring that package into a good shape and submit your changes back. Everything you need for this is described in the openSUSE wiki. ...or, if you think you need some help: just start asking the packagers who to help to improve the quality of that package. It might be that they are answering direct questions. ;-) + #4: Andi Sugandi (andisugandi) (2012-05-07 15:17:12) (reply to #3) + Yes.. :) + In my experience and told in the blog post (http://andi.opensuse-id.org/2012/03/12/dependency-packages-for-koha-3-6-4-on...) + we still need perl-DBD-SQLite2 (http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=perl-DBD-SQLite2&baseproject=openSUSE:12.1 + &lang=en&exclude_debug=true) and perl-PDF-API2-Simple (http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=perl-PDF-API2-Simple&baseproject=openSUSE:12.1 + &lang=en&exclude_debug=true) packages for Koha 3.6.4 or 3.8 to get + install. Unfortunately those two perl modules packages are not + available yet on Open Build Service. + I'm not familiar yet on building perl modules packages in OBS, so + hopefully other contributors will do this task.. :) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308243
