Hence while it could be done from a technical point of view, there is just no way that openSUSE or Packman could package and provide it. cheers, Pascal. ___ Packman mailing list Packman@links2linux.de http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
Re: [packman] Viber
Hi all, Redistributing it is one thing, but isn't it possible to link it like in the repo link $package http://3rdparty/$package so actually one would download it from 3rdparty using the link? 2014/1/6 Pascal Bleser pascal.ble...@opensuse.org: On Mon, Jan 6, 2014 at 3:46 AM, Mark Fairbairn far...@gmx.com wrote: any chance we might see Viber packaged up for openSUSE?
