openSUSE and GNOME Software

Hello! :slight_smile:

I saw in a post maden by Richard Hughes about input methods installation in GNOME-Software.
Recently I tested it on openSUSE 13.1 RC2 and I saw that this section (Add Ons) is missing.
Why is that?
Thanks! :slight_smile:

Maybe they know in the Pre-release/Beta forum.

This is CLOSED and will be moved there.

Moved from Applications and open again.

Sorry, I didn’t got the idea for the topic moving…as far as I know this feature is not in beta / pre-release stadium neither for GNOME Software as an application nor for GNOME as a whole, because GNOME Software is implemented in 3.10. Maybe it is some distro-specific case occured in openSUSE only?

Thank you :slight_smile:

Hi
AFAIK, it should be in 13.1 as a Technical preview;

Yes, I read that but my question was about the missing section “Add-ons” in the software center, where the fonts and input methods can be found? I know that this application will be under further development anyway.

openSUSE 13.1 will ship GNOME 3.10.X. The post
http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2013/09/23/input-methods-in-gnome-software/
doesn’t specify as to what version of GNOME it is.

Hello :slight_smile:
Today I tested Fedora 20 alpha and it includes the software center by default. After update it was at version 3.10.2 and it has the discussed section “add-ons”, or in other words, this is feature already included in 3.10.x.
Again: is it maybe something distro-specific for openSUSE only?

Software center will probably not show up in openSUSE as openSUSE has YaST

You may try and push for its inclusion by elucidating its benefits to
the developers through openSUSE feature tracker.

In the past i could successfully push for inclusion of an offline
dictionary/ tool called artha

Then give us a better description of what you are looking for in the way
of help.

GNOME Software is already released with the feature for installing fonts and input methods - no matter that is not included by default in openSUSE 13.1 - and the version of GNOME Software that can be installed optionally in openSUSE 13.1 is the latest (3.10.2) - so this feature must present in it but it is missing. My question is why this feature is missing? The comparison with Fedora was only to show that the discussed function presents in GNOME Software (latest updates for Fedora 20 alpha includes GNOME Software 3.10.2, equally as in openSUSE).
