hi. i wanted to install MDIC dictionary in openSUSE 12.1 KDE. i tried to install it with “one click install” in software.opensuse.org but the application was not available there.
So how could it be putted in software.opensuse.org?
how can we request to add an application to software.opensuse.org?

i see the latest stable release of that dictionary is over two years old
which means one of two things: it is just absolutely perfect in every
way, or (since it never got to version 1.x) it is so bug filled, and
linux has changed so much in those two years that it has been abandoned
by its maker(s) and will never be perfect…
i do not know which is correct, but i doubt you will find much support
for adding it to software.opensuse.org…
however you are free to download the source code and compile it for
your system…i know i know, that sounds all scary and hard…but,
really it is only hard the first time (kinda like a cost/benefit
analysis in an MBA program just keeps getting easier and easier)…
sorry, i gotta run…now.

There is no official way to request an application, but you can try the
factory mail list.
