Hey Mark: I looked at those wiki instructions for OpenSUSE a while ago too, and they are rather terrifyingly long. I think it's completely unnecessary to mention how to install OpenSUSE. Since, if a person had the option, it would make more sense from a community support perspective just to go with Debian or Ubuntu. I'm not familiar with Debian at all at this point, except as a front-end user, but I don't see why the debian repositories "would" work. That said, I remember Chris Cormack saying that it might not be a bad idea for someone to put together RPM packages. I seem to remember him also mentioning that OpenSUSE is quite common amongst Indian Koha users, so maybe someone out there has a script for creating and disseminating RPMs. David Cook Systems Librarian Prosentient Systems P/L ABN 31 078 409 168 72/330 Wattle St, Ultimo NSW 2007 tel: 02 92120899 fax: 02 92120885 dcook@prosentient.com.au -----Original Message----- From: "Mark Tompsett" <mtompset@hotmail.com> To: <koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org> Subject: [Koha-devel] OpenSUSE Message-ID: <BLU172-DS2ECFE02287210BC93EB8BC6D70@phx.gbl> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="utf-8"; reply-type=original Greetings, A person I know was telling me about a project they have in OpenSUSE. So, I downloaded it. I'm installing it. And then I thought, "Hey, does Koha work on this?" The installation is downloading RPM's after all. So, I looked on the Wiki for OpenSUSE. I thought my Ubuntu tarball instructions were super-long. These instructions even tell the person how to install OpenSUSE?! Isn't that a tad out of scope? Next, these are for 3.0, which again is out of date. And lastly, these are so tarball oriented, when I currently have no reason to believe that the debian repositories won't work. Any thoughts?
