Nice. Really! But how does it work and how would I be able to build such a thing without the need to use this "deltarpm" package?
Huh? This is like asking: How would I be able to compile such a C program without the need to use this "gcc" package.
Why do I need a *login* to get this "Documentation: SUSE Package Conventions"? This all gets closed up instead of more opened.
I will bring this up internally. This should not be the case.
Good. But exactly this documents that Novell/SuSE didn't yet reflect enough about the fact that they *need* contributors for the opensuse project and how to ease the work for them.
Sure this was one of the problems SUSE had in former times and still has but actually the situation improved in recent years thus it is not fair to say that things get closed up more and more. The fact that it takes a very long time to improve is not a perfect situation but most of us know how much work it is to change the way a company works --- and the bigger the company is the harder it gets. Obviously most people working at a company fear that changing how a company works might destroy the business model of the company and they all lose their job. Because of that it is just fair that people often fear and resist these changes. Robert -- Robert Schiele Tel.: +49-621-181-2214 Dipl.-Wirtsch.informatiker mailto:rschiele@uni-mannheim.de
