- From a technical point-of-view, this mail would belong to
opensuse-packaging, but I'd like to address a more general problem,
which is why I post here.
I would really like to have an explanation: why is it that other
distributions (e.g. Fedora and Ubuntu) already have packages for (at
least) GNOME 2.14 but none are provided for SUSE Linux ?
GNOME supplementary still ships 2.12.
And now, the "general problem": I just don't see ex-Ximian people
involved into openSUSE at all.
Do they actually know that their employer has its own distribution
called SUSE Linux ?
Miguel de Icaza is leading GNOME AFAIK, and Novell employs quite a lot
of GNOME developers.. so... where are the SUSE Linux packages ?
This is really ridiculous.
Try it yourself: spend some time on IRC in #suse or #opensuse and
explain to some folks why SUSE Linux, the distribution owned by the
company that has a lot of GNOME developers and even the GNOME lead on
its payroll, does not provide up-to-date GNOME packages.
Is anyone from Novell who is not part of the SUSE team in Nürnberg on
this mailing-list at all ? Would be nice to know. Please raise some SMTP
hands ;)
cheers
