Hey. It has come to my attention that the version of tla being shipped with openSuSE 10.2 and -factory is the same. Not only that, both are the same as the version that shipped with SuSE 10.0 - a shameful state of affairs.
tla-1.3.3 is long deprecated, there is NO reason it should continue to be packaged with current distributions. I propose that OpenSuSE packages tla-1.3.5, which has been stable for quite some time.
In such case (finding an outdated package), please just open an Enhancement bugreport in bugzilla.
I can't! I don't have a bugzilla account and nor can I create one! tla has almost NO deps (in fact it only needs libc as i recall) and it could VERY simply be packaged by a person who knew how RPM worked.
On tla related issues, would anyone like to binary package SXEmacs (http://www.sxemacs.org/) for OpenSuSE? (no, I'm not asking as an SXEmacs representative. it's just an idea.)
Looks definitely suited for the openSUSE buildservice. :)
I meant to be included in the default distribution, maybe someday even replacing XEmacs (the site has a list of things about SXE that are better than XE and I could probably tell you more) If people don't KNOW they have a choice, they won't EXERCISE their right to MAKE the choice. Surely you understand.
Ciao, Marcus
