Hi List I have created a bug requesting adding the google-talkplugin to openSUSE Non free, please review and add your support :)
I suppose it is the responsibility of Google itself to build and distribute that RPM. I'm not sure oS can do that - what license does it have?
True, but if the source comes out (which I hope does) we will be good to go.
AFAIK, proprietary, there is no info in the files they produce, the cron job (apt one is for debian) says bsd
<snip> Was there not ,once upon a time, a way to install ".deb" files on Suse? I seem to remember that from the dark ages. The 64 bit version is supposed to be just a .deb file to install as if it were a rpm file. But of course it doesn't. Boxee, and some other's are doing this sort of thing,that is, going Debian rather than rpm. Seems as if Ubuntu is doing a better pr job and a much better job of explaining how many users they have and how many will use whatever it is that is being packaged than our organization is currently doing. Just as desktop Linux grows up , it appears the world believes it has instead just quietly dies. Guess we need to go back to whining, and fighting amongst ourselves and among distros. Even the tech press, who , by this time really ought to know better seem to buy into this idea, since we are quiet, we must not exist anymore. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
