Hello,
I am the package maintaner of the openSUSE packages tidy/libtidy,
apache2-mod_tidy and w3c-markup-validator.
Reading, that openSUSE 10.2 Beta 2 is announced, I want to stress, that
until today the factory packages of tidy and its library, libtidy are
not up-to-date (they are from 2005!). Since a very while (several
month) most recent versions of Tidy and libtidy are available at
openSUSE's software repository on http://repos.opensuse.org/Tidy/. Why
didn't you take these? Please update your packages in openSUSE factory
and use the newer versions out of the Software repository, so that
these most recent versions will make it into final openSUSE 10.2.
By the way: I want to have your ear, I want to propose, if it won't be
attractive also to officially distribute the W3C Markup Validator
(http://validator.w3.org/) with openSUSE on a regulary basis. Debian
Etch and Fedora Core do this as well, these packages are part of the
core distribution. It's in the W3 Consortium interest to spread the
validator, having the benefit in mind, that local installed validators
can keep the traffic to http://validator.w3.org/ in an affordable
shape. The Validator packages are optimized for use on a local host/local net.
Most recent W3C Validator packages for openSUSE are available at
openSUSE's software repository on http://repos.opensuse.org/validators/
. Recent version is 0.7.3. There will be an official update to version
0.7.4 on Tuesday, november 14th. I have allready prepared packages of
this new version, they are waiting to be shipped. I will feed the
openSUSE Build System with 0.7.4 sources, as soon as the official W3C
valiator website has been updated to this new release.
Thanks in advance,
