+====== Installing gEDA rpm packages on SuSE ======
+===== Available rpm packages =====
+  * geda (1.6.1)
+  * gerbv (2.3.0)
+  * pcb (20091103)
+  * ng-spice-rework (20)
+  * gnucap (0.35)
+  * gspiceui (0.9.98)

+  * verilog (0.9.1)
+  * wcalc (1.1)
+  * xgsch2pcb (0.1.3)
+  * electronics-menu (1.0)
+===== Installing Packages from the SuSE Build Service =====
+  - Start Yast and go to “Change Installation Source”
+  - Add a HTTP source with the following properties:
+       * **Servername:** software.opensuse.org
+       * **Directory:** /download/repositories/science/openSUSE_11.0/ (Choose the directory for your distribution)
+  - Start “Install Software” in Yast, goto “Search” and look for gEDA. All packages appear.
+  - Install the packages as usual.
+For more informations read the [[http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/User | generic installation notes]] of the [[http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service | OpenSuSE Build Service]]
+You can also browse through repositories first:
+[[http://software.opensuse.org/download/science/openSUSE_11.0/repodata/ | openSUSE_11.0 repo]],
+[[http://software.opensuse.org/download/science/openSUSE_11.1/repodata/ | openSUSE_11.1 repo]].
+[[http://software.opensuse.org/download/science/openSUSE_11.2/repodata/ | openSUSE_11.2 repo]].
+===== Distribution specific notes =====
+Each distribution version has it's own issues. Please read the notes below.
+==== openSUSE 11.0 ====
+  * ...
+==== openSUSE 11.1 ====
+  * currently no electronics menu, all programs show up in the Education->Science menu
+  * ...
+==== openSUSE 11.2 ====
+  * currently no electronics menu, all programs show up in the Education->Science menu
+  * ...
+===== Desktop Integration =====
+This is a summary how the gEDA and other electronic packages are integrated into the desktop of openSUSE.
+==== Electronics Menu ====
+Unfortunately the openSUSE distribution does not provide a electronics menu entry for all the nice gEDA programs.
+Peter Clifton has created a menu entry for electronics. This menu package is available in the **electronics-menu** rpm.
+It contains the menu item and some icons for it. The menu category is called **Edutainment**->**Electronics** in openSUSE.
+If it is installed, it looks like this in KDE (manually combined with gimp):
+{{geda:suse_electronics_menu.png}}
+==== Notes about rpm spec file ====
+openSUSE calls it's //SuSEconfig// program after every installation of rpm packages with YaST.
+Thus it's not necessary to integrate all configuration calls into the //post// and //postun// rpm sections.
+The only additions in the spec files are for the //Shared MIME Info//. It is described in this openSUSE [[http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/SUSE_Package_Conventions/Specific_Packages#10.1.3._Shared_MIME_Info|SUSE_Package_Conventions/Specific_Packages]]
+article.
+  PreReq:       shared-mime-info
+  [...]
+  %post
+  if test -f %{_bindir}/update-mime-database ; then
+      %{_bindir}/update-mime-database %{_datadir}/mime >/dev/null
+  fi
+  %postun
+  if test -f %{_bindir}/update-mime-database ; then
+      %{_bindir}/update-mime-database %{_datadir}/mime >/dev/null
+  fi
+Another addition is required to install the mimelnks properly in the KDE environment.
+KDE does not take care of the mimelnks installed in //%%/usr/share/mimelnk/%%//, thus they have to be copied to
+the KDE directory //%%/opt/kde3/mimelnk/%%//. This is done in the rpm spec file inside the %install section
+  %install
+  %makeinstall
+  kdemimedir=$(kde-config --install mime)
+  if test %{_datadir} != $kdemimedir ; then
+      mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT$kdemimedir
+      mv $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/mimelnk/* $RPM_BUILD_ROOT$kdemimedir
+      rmdir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/mimelnk
+  fi
+==== Installing rpm packages manually ====
+For those who don't use YaST for installation the SuSEconfig command has to be executed manually after installing or removing any rpm package.
+You can either call the toplevel SuSEconfig command
+  /sbin/SuSEconfig
+or call only the two required subconfiguration tools
+  /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.desktop-file-utils
+which calls
+  /usr/bin/update-desktop-database
+and
+  /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.gtk2
+which calls
+  /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache --quiet --ignore-theme-index --remove-empty-cache "$SUBDIR"
