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If you must have a package that is no longer maintained - the last post on artha's home site is 8 years ago - then you'll need to build it from source.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
Be sure to reply to the list, not an individual. I don't think we saw that msg to Patrick. Anyway, all you need to do is load software.opensuse.org and search for "artha." That brings up a list of the repo options. I did this a few hours ago, TW was one of the choices; strangely not there now (maybe I'm getting dementia). Anyway, very likely the 15.2 package will work, though; click on that and then Experimental. You can use the 1-click install shown; that will add the repo and do the install for you. Or you can choose Expert Download, which gives commands to manually add the repo and install via zypper, or to directly download the rpm which you would subsequently install with zypper or YaST (right-clicking on the rpm file downloaded in Dolphin will present a YaST install option). Since you are pulling from the 15.2 repo, I would go the downloaded rpm route which avoids have to add a repo you don't want thereafter. So there are several ways to do this - you should familiarize yourself with all of this, it is basic to installing software not in the standard repo. IMO, for other obscure packages, as I wrote prev you really want to learn how to compile because with pkgs like that, it may be the only option. It may seem intimidating at first, but it is not really difficult, other than sometimes getting dependencies installed (which the make command will tell you that are missing, if the source page didn't provide). -- DennisG -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
