Hi Pascal! At 12:27 28.11.2005, you wrote:
They can only be updated when SUSE Linux releases are made. Hint: contact the package maintainer @SUSE directly by mail (look at the changelog of the tidy/... RPM included in SUSE Linux 10.0 ("rpm -q --changelog tidy | head -20" and take the topmost) or file a feature request on the openSUSE bugzilla.
Since month (June 2005), I stay in contact from time to time with Peter Poeml, the Apache maintainer of SuSE. I offered him my packages in June this year, and to my delight he was very pleased and didn't hesitate to take them over and put them onto SUSEs FTP server. Thanks him, my tidy and mod_tidy packages have found their way to the official SUSE FTP servers. :-) Since june, there hasn't changed anything to these packages, regarding that I offer up-to-date packages (mod_tidy has significally changed since June 2005, because of changes in licence and project owner) and update them regulary. These packages have greatfully found their way into SUSE 10, what I appreciate a lot. But unfortunately, especially in the case of mod_tidy, these packages still are in the state of June 2005. That's sub-optimal, because from my point of view, there has been enough time to bring these packages in sync with my latest ones. I also already have offered my validator packages -- but still without response, if these packages also will be taken officially by SUSE... The W3C Validator developer team would appreciate this a lot...
Still, those packages would only be updated every 6 months. Much better option: community repository (your own, Packman, ...)
As you can follow my words, this already happened to me... This should be changed in the future... I will contact Packman.
So, have a look into my packages, try them out. Any help for improvements and advocacy is welcome.
Send in the spec files ;)
I don't have them separate in the moment (working on a Windows system). I have published the Source RPMs, from there you might extract the Spec files. Sorry for that little inconvenience.. Sierk Sierk Bornemann | Hannover | Germany e-mail: sierkb@gmx.de URL: http://sierkbornemann.de/
