I am finding that certain very common apps appear to be missing from the latest OpenSUSE Tumbleweed--for instance, Artha. That's just one.
We dropped artha from the distro because it has been unmaintained by upstream for many years and susceptible to security issues (e.g. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1143860). Please see if you can find some other dictionary app that doesn't hurt your system.
Cheers, I looked and found nothing I want: an esoteric spell checker. Artha can interpret misspellings and give you the correct spelling of many words that the system never even heard of. I really don't want a dictionary with pages of definitions. If I didn't know what the word meant, I wouldn't have used it! If anyone out there can suggest a substitute, I would be obliged. --doug
Even tho it was dropped after 15.1, the same most recent vsn 1.03 was repackaged for the Education repo for both 15.2 and TW.
If you must have a package that is no longer maintained - the last post on artha's home site is 8 years ago - then you'll need to build it from source. That's not difficult to do at all: 1. install any dependencies (listed on the page) 2. download tarball 3. extract 4. configure 5. make 6. make install

I mentioned in a reply to Patrick (a few notes further on in the list) that an app that is mentioned in the system, aspell, might fulfill the requirement, if I could figure out how to install and use it. OTOH, I have used Artha for years without any sign of a problem, and I would certainly be happy to go back to it. How do I get to the Education repo? This system of alternate (or extra?) repos has baffled me for the entire year I have been a Suser. Once I know how to get to these extra repos, what is the means of finding what may be available within them? (Frinstance, I'm told that Master PDF Editor is hiding in one of them, and I'd like to get it and use it. It has features that Okular does not.) (I realize that this may be a tall order; I am willing to go and read the fine manual, if there is one.) --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
