[opensuse] Leap 42.2 - missing uucp package
Hi *, is there any reason why Taylor uucp is no longer part of Leap 42.2, while Leap 42.1 contained it? I rely heavily on uucp, *because* it is an ancient protocol and nearly nobody (especially hackers) cares about it. Would be great, if someone could include it in Leap 42.2. TIA. Bye.

Hmm, looking at its "devel-project" server:mail [1], it's only enabled for "Factory", it was enabled for Leap 42.1 at some time, as it is in the main distro repo for 42.1. Last patch was 7 month ago accepted by Werner Fink.

Maybe file a bug or dig out the maintainer and ask him to also push it for Leap422. I'm curious - what do you use uucp for? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

For mail and news :) And for the reasons I wrote above. This client for example is a uucp client.

Well it can be used for asynchronous scheduling of things, File transfer being jut one of them. At a higher level, UUCP is a queue/scheduler in the same way that Postfix is for email. But UUCP is slightly, or perhaps more dramatically, different in that the program that is scheduled can be configured. Wither retry and error reporting. I've used it as a replacement for _some_ MQ functionality. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
