Because openSUSE 11.1 is already done, there is now sufficient time
until the package version upgrade deadline for openSUSE 11.2.
I look forward to provide an up-to-date iscan for openSUSE 11.2.

Olaf,
I would like to request again, that you (i.e. Ayasys) provide
at least for the Linux Distributors readymade URLs so that we
could directly download the right plugins so that we must not
click around so much in the Avasys web frontend to get them
one by one (and perhaps get a wrong plugin by accident).

Olaf,
could you please provide a list of those models.
Of course each Linux Distributor could do some grep/sed magic
for epkowa.desc on his own but imagine how nice it would
be for us to simply have a readymade list from Avasys ;-)


Many Thanks and Kind Regards
Johannes Meixner
