RE: [suse-security] Using 9.1 RPMs on 9.2

I notice that many packages which were available on 9.1 are no longer available from SuSE on 9.2, e.g., snort and nessus.

Are there any plans to increase the number of 9.2 packages available?
Anders Johansson wrote in reply that both snort and nessus are available on the 9.2 DVDs (though not on the CDs). http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-security/2004-Nov/0083.html This generated lots of comments about what was right, and whether there should be manuals, and pretty packages, etc. etc. But I think we all can agree that bottom line we want to know what is coming down the road to we can plan accordingly. In this case, I think it would be wise for me to consider adding a DVD player. to my system, if I want to efficiently run the professional edition of SUSE-9.2. I would also hope that Togan would put in his unofficial SuSE FAQ that SUSE has more rpms on the SUSE-9.2 DVDs than on the 9.2 CDs. And given that, what I did is send some feedback to SUSE at: http://www.novell.com/linux/suse/ to the effedt that they should let people know the 9.2 DVDs have more rpms than the CD -- and that trend is going to contiue on the next edition coming out next spring. We all know that most of our feed back goes into a black hole, even so, it's a start.
