So + I changed it to openSUSE Distribution. + And a "rejected" is because openSUSE project is a F/LOSS Linux project, + which means we can't by default distribute any cracked/commercial/non- + Linux software(we can't even build it, because our packaging system, + build.opensuse.org, has a blacklist here: + http://en.opensuse.org/Application_Black_List (http://en.opensuse.org/Application_Black_List) + ). It's sad but usability always has some limits, such principle can + protect us from being the target of any lawsuits and paying patent fees + for all of our users (that will be over our capability) + So the standard procedure for such packages is like this: + 1. make sure it's open source, if without Multimedia codecs issues, + then request here; if with, go to Packman mailing list + (http://packman.links2linux.org/) and request. Most of the times we'll + accept and package that for you. + 2. if it's wine-ware, commercial/proprietary/non-open-source, go to + forums.opensuse.org, application or multimedia sub-forum to see if + there's any thread discussing this. Usually such threads will generate + useful and user friendly scripts which can easily do the job. examples + like spotify (https://forums.opensuse.org/content/137-install-spotify-under-openssue-easy-...) + and steam (https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/games/480270-ins...) + . + In short, although we can't make it for you, but we can teach/tell you + how to make it at a right place other than here. + In you netflix case, I didn't find anything useful on forum, but in our + G+ community + (https://plus.google.com/communities/115444043324891769569) it seems + someone is getting started: http://mytechinsights.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/netflix-on-opensuse-12-2-usin... + (http://mytechinsights.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/netflix-on-opensuse-12-2-usin...) + , so maybe all you need to do is just waiting until someone posted such + things on forum. + Hope that helps. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314708
