I try to explain to Anton that the approach of "I don't need it, so it's not relevant if it's available for openSUSE, and - by implication - you don't need it either" is not a proper one. I don't seem to succeed with that explanation, though. :-(
That is not what I was saying. You continue to misquote me. My point is that it is available, by other means. Its just not part of the packaged distribution. As Carlos makes clear, because of the licence. I chose to use Dovecot. As it turns out the Dovcot I originally used a couple of installation back I could not find in the distribution so I downloaded and built v2 myself. Thankfully FOSS gives us this option, even when we cross licence boundaries. There are many items which are not in the packaged distribution because of licence restrictions; the nvidia drivers, various codec and things that are needed to play videos. That's why there are other repositories outside of download.opensuse. I make the choice to use those other other repositories. If I wanted to use qpopper I would obtain it or the source or some other rpm (there's a pile of them at rpmfind.org). I don't seem to have succeeded n my explanation either :-( -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
