That's fine, the current
TDE repository seems to work well enough with Leap 15.4.
Hopefully François will publish on the announcement list when he has finished his build.
It appears that only the stable version is made available to non-Debian-based users; I
understand that builds for other versions would be labour-intensive, but sometimes it
would be nice...
I guess I'll just install Leap 15.4 next week
when it's gone GA; I
was hoping to be able to get access to the pre-GA versions of TDE,
but I guess that's not in the cards...
Use this repo
[TDEhomeBS]
baseurl=https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/PunisherHD:/Trinit
y:/stable/15.4/ gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/PunisherHD:/Trinity
:/stable/15.4/repodata/repomd.xml.key enabled=1
name=TDEhomeBS
type=rpm-md
until François has built for 15.4. Until I found out about Punisher, I
had been using the 15.3 version just fine with 15.4alpha/betas, and with
15.2's with 15.3alpha/betas, and 15.1's with 15.2alpha/betas....
There's no reason to wait until release has been announced. What's on the
mirrors now isn't going to change next week, except for population of the
updates repo, for things that missed cutoff dates.
FWIW, I've never put /opt on its own filesystem, but /usr/local I always
have separate. I rarely see anything want to go on /opt except for TDE,
KDE3, Brother printer drivers, or long ago some office suite. I would not
try sharing /opt between openSUSE & Ubuntu for TDE. Given the different
package names used, I'd expect some differences in filenames or versions.
I
have to wonder why package naming would affect the names of executables, but apparently
it does; very strange and unexpected.
FWIW2, I don't normally install any distro's Firefox or SeaMonkey. Instead
I use the packages provided by mozilla.org, and update at my pleasure. I
keep them, and Pale Moon, in /usr/local, along with fonts not provided by
distros.
For sure, expecially since OpenSuSE is so often far behind current
versions of many
packages (notably fonts), I often install them from their native repos into /usr/local.
Some that contain extensive file trees, like mozilla, I do put into /opt; but that's
just
my personal idiosyncracy.
