"Official" what ? I've been building RPMs for SUSE Linux long, long, long before the openSUSE Build Service. I don't build in the Build Service because I have my own infrastructure. And because some of the packages I maintain cannot be included in the Build Service for legal reasons (same story as Packman). And because it's less hassle and quicker for me to build it on my own box than on the Build Service. Well, whatever, use my packages or don't. >>>> And why is the link not pointed at in >>>> http://en.opensuse.org/Released_Version#Metalink? >>> ?? > > [Annoyed mode on] s/Annoyed/Paranoid/ > The people there want us to use metalink to download the new 10.2 version, > but they do not provide an rpm for a working metalink client (or they are > silent about it).

This is called a "repository". Just add my repository and everything will be resolved properly.

I chose to build it full-featured, including async DNS support. If you don't like it, build it yourself.
