Feature changed by: Graham Davis (scarlet-jade) Feature #314585, revision 2 Title: Reinstate KNode openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: KNode has been removed from the KDE pattern in openSUSE; it is not installed by default in 12.2. The results: 1. The news URL scheme is not recognized. 2. The nntp URL scheme is handled by Dolphin, which is basically unable to handle it. Test Case: { xdg-open 'news:news.answers'; } Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: News is one of the basic protocols of the Internet, and failing to support it is a shame. + Discussion: + #1: Graham Davis (scarlet-jade) (2012-11-07 11:31:07) + I've just checked and found that Knode is in the KDE4 pattern. It is + correct to say that knode is not installed by default in 12.2 but + that's nothing new. I'm pretty sure that it hasn't been installed by + default since 9.0 or before. Knode is in the following 12.2 repos:- + OSS, Update, and KDE 4.9 Core. + The problem isn't that openSUSE has dropped support for Knode - nothing + has changed there - but that KDE seem to have dropped support for it. + Bug reports have been ignored for years; a series of ignored bug + reports starting about 7 years ago arose after a bug complaint about a + feature was fixed by removing the feature! + Having said all that, I agree with your sentiment regarding NNTP and + never understood why Knode was not automatically installed with + Kontact. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314585
