They might not have been discontiued as such, but are no longer part of the default installation, especially since SuSE started releasing its upgrades from SuSE Linux 8.0 and later. There are some other packages that are not part of the default installation, such as automake, autoconf, GNU Make, and all sorts of other GNU utilities.
This can be frustrating, so my advice to you would be to install a SuSE 7.x generation OS, such SuSE Linux 7.2, and then upgrade your installation to 8.0 or 8.1. That way, you are sure you have all those packages you've been used to from the past. If you still can't get your software, then check the SuSE FTP server. If nothing else works, source code is your friend.
