| gcc 3.3 or 3.4 | Older version of GNU compiler collection for compatibility reasons | GPL | User | Some packages (qemu for example) can't compile with gcc4.0, so adding older versions as extra gcc3-package should make sense.
qemu is included in openSUSE, and even compiled with gcc4. Please either fix the packages or report bugs to the compiler. With different compilers, you run straight into the maintenance hell...-Azouhr 12:11, 21 Sep 2005 (MDT) Please take a look at mISDN which is quite essential for isdn users who want to use asterisk. Try to use the beronet.com "install script": You're using GCC 4! Please downgrade to gcc-3.x and type: export CC=gcc-3.x before issuing make again. you won't have success with gcc-4! URL: http://beronet.com/download/install-misdn.tar.gz gcc-4 is marked stable upstream, but shouldn't be the default compiler for a distribution. I know that there are a lot of packages which already compile cleanly with gcc-4, but there are also a lot of other projects where you'll have no success. |
| gcin | A gtk-based Chinese Input Method developed by the author of xcin | LGPL | traditional Chinese users | gcin is a very popular Chinese input method (IM) server in Taiwan, which focuses mainly on Traditional Chinese. Its IM table format is almost the same as xcin. It even comes with a conversion program to help xcin users to transfer their xcin settings to gcin settings. Users of xcin should be able to move from xcin to gcin in no time. In addition, a GUI is used for gcin settings such as your favorite Chinese input table and keyboard layout. It is often straight forward for users to append other input tables not originally included in the release package or tables used by other IMs such as scim. |

Is really a group of packages including elilo, rEFIt, and EFI support built into the kernel. | GPL | Linux Users who love Apple hardware. | Would be nice to see openSUSE be the first Linux distro to support the new MacTel machines. It would mostly take some additions to Yast to make the installation automated. Their is only one thing I love more then Mac OS X and that is SUSE.
