OK! :-)

I'll summarize the points as I see them.

1) document what must be removed in advance if MySQL was installed with the distro CD/DVD and/or offficial repo's of the distro.

2) figure out the problem with KDE and take a decision if this will be fixed or not (I think it will be difficult)

3) expose packages installed in "rpm -qa" command

4) support activating/deactivating and starting/stopping service from YaST "Service Management" GUI.

(and please add TokuDB and InfiniDB soon. ¨'playing around' with TokuDB was my primary motivation for all this)

Hi, Daniel!

Perhaps we should put a note for every new platform that we add (was
CentOS 7, now it's openSUSE) that this is a new platform, just added,
a first release for it, so while binaries are same as everywhere and
stable, the packaging (conflicts, dependencies) is new and might have
some rough edges?

Peter,
I've created MDEV-7211 for this issue to make sure it won't be
forgotten.

Regards,
Sergei
