https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220343 Summary: Package w3c-markup-validator to be part of the official openSUSE distribution Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 2 Platform: All URL: http://repos.opensuse.org/validators/ OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: pth@novell.com ReportedBy: sierkb@gmx.de QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: aj@novell.com Please inherit the packages of the W3C Markup Validator ( http://validator. w3.org/ ) to the official openSUSE distribution. openSUSE packages, maintained and optimized for local use by Sierk Bornemann, already are available at the openSUSE Build System on http://repos.opensuse.org/validators/ . The official reference validator for markup languages, the W3C Markup Validator, is online at http://validator. w3.org/. The source code is open and public available at http://validator.w3.org/source/ . It is in the W3C's strong interest to spread sources and binaries of their validators to unburden http://validator. w3.org/ and to encourage users to install and use the validators locally or in a local net. On http://validator.w3.org/source/ sources and URLs to binary packages for several OS/Linux distributions are listed. I do provide and maintain RPM packages for openSUSE since several month on my private homepage at http://sierkbornemann.de/pub/tools/w3c-markup-validator/ as well as on openSUSE's Build Service/Software repository at http://software.opensuse.org/download/validators/ . See also http://validator.w3.org/source/#suse . I would appreciate -- no, I want to promote this, if these packages soon will find their way into the official factory tree/openSUSE distribution. Fedora Core and Debian Etch do integrate the W3C validator(s) and its libraries into their official ditribution since a while, and I think, openSUSE should not be far behind and do this as well. It would be a great benefit for all parties.
