Here is it:
List of good software missing in OBS and Packman repository - openSUSE-Community
Please make this topic stick.
Please make packages of this software
Hi
Suggest you use OpenFATE (http://en.opensuse.org/Openfate) and since
packman is a third party packager, see
here http://packman.links2linux.org.

Suggest you use OpenFATE
- I think nobody of devs look at openfate ever
- Even if they look, they seek for proposals with high votes, and people tend to downvote anything they do not need personally. Similar idea of Brainstorm in Ubuntu seems to be complete fail.
- There is no possibility to add screenshots to openFATE.
and since packman is a third party packager, see
What I should see there? There is no package request tool in packman, no bug tracker, even no forum.
Hi
Well I would imagine even less devs look here…
packman use the mailing list by the looks, also you could look here
for other injection points in openSUSE;
http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate
This subforum is mainly for OBS users having some sort of issue with
building a package.

The list doesn’t knock me out of my socks, except OpenReduce, maybe.

Not only devs but also users. This is a reference of software behind the usual frame for anybody interested.

Communicate - openSUSE
Thank you. I know about this.
There is a place in the official wiki: Package Wishlist - openSUSE
Packman has its mailing list: Packman Info Page But if there are no special issues makes no sense to ask Packman specifically.
For education related packages openSUSE-Education uses its bugzilla for package requests: Welcome to education’s Bugzilla
This is so out of touch with reality, that I don’t know where to begin…
I looked at OpenReduce: easy to compile, everyone can do it if he needs to, but a PITA to pack. That’s why there isn’t a package … Everything has a reason.
I second that. The purpose of opensuse-community.org is to provide additional documentation that can’t be included in the main wiki for some reason, but not packages wishlist.

Most of the packages in the list are very difficult to compile.
This is information for those who seek for software, not included in repositories. It is not a wishlist. Really, nobody wants any new software to be included in OpenSUSE.

May be true; but not for OpenReduce. I tried it on three different installs of openSUSE 11.1, each with development packages installed. The svn checkout compiled on all three systems with:
./configure --with-csl
make
I call that very easy. The problem with this package is that there is no working ‘make install’. It is supposed to run from the place where it was compiled. This was the programmers decision. So the question remains: is it the packagers responsibility to fix this?

There are packages in the Alt Linux repo. I am sure they fixed it as their packages work well under SUSE. http://sisyphus.ru/en/srpm/Sisyphus/reduce/get
There are SRPMs so i think it would not be difficult to package it for SUSE.
All this Wiki stuff is confusing to me.
I wanted to use the build service to make a package for a application that was on openSUSE 11.1 but isn’t on openSUSE 11.2 but the wiki just doesn’t tell me ****. I want to put a program on the wish list since I am too stupid to use the build service.
Education SUSE bugzilla does not work for me.
Well I would imagine even less devs look here…
Surprisingly I found a link to my list in the EduMandriva TODO list for 2010.1:
EduMandriva 2010.1 Develop — Edumandriva
So even EduMandriva devs in fact look there
