 201 Unfortunatly the openSUSE distribution does not provide a electronics menu entry for all the nice gEDA programms. Peter Clifton has created a menu entry for electronics. This menu package is available in the <strong>electronics-menu</strong> rpm. It contains the menu item and some icons for it. The menu categorie is called <strong>Edutainment&ndash;&gt;Electronics</strong> in openSUSE.

 218 openSUSE calls it’s <em>SuSEconfig</em> program after every installation of rpm packages with YaST. Thus it’s not necessary to integrate all configuration calls into the <em>post</em> and <em>postun</em> rpm sections.

 222 The only additions in the <acronym title="specification">spec</acronym> files are for the <em>Shared <acronym title="Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension">MIME</acronym> Info</em>. It is described in this openSUSE <a href="http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/SUSE_Package_Conventions/Specific_Packages#10.1.3._Shared_MIME_Info" class="urlextern" title="http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/SUSE_Package_Conventions/Specific_Packages#10.1.3._Shared_MIME_Info"  rel="nofollow">SUSE_Package_Conventions/Specific_Packages</a> article.

 232  Another addition is required to install the mimelnks properly in the KDE environment. KDE does not take care of the mimelnks installed in <em>/usr/share/mimelnk</em>/, thus they have to be copied to  the KDE directory <em>/opt/kde3/mimelnk</em>/. This is done in the rpm <acronym title="specification">spec</acronym> file inside the %install section
