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 If you must have a package that is no longer maintained - the last post on artha's home site is 8 years ago - then you'll need to build it from source.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 -- DennisG -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
