Description of problem: xsnow missing in Mageia Please consider adding xsnow to Mageia. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): https://www.ratrabbit.nl/ratrabbit/xsnow/ How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Closing as WONTFIX. Due to the really high workload to all of our packagers, please consider to file only meaningful package requests with a real sense and advantages. "Xsnow is an application that animates snowfall, Santa and some scenery on your desktop. It is NOT a kind of screen saver: snow is falling, Santa rides his sleigh with reindeer while you are using your system." Really?
Status: NEW => RESOLVEDResolution: (none) => WONTFIX
We used to have xsnow in Mandrake/Mandriva/Mageia. Not sure when it disappeared. The few other distros I checked have it. Bah humbug, eh?
David Geiger imported it into cauldron even if you failed to file a proper package request. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly#How_to_file_a_package_request

Seems reasonable to ask for it, then; perhaps a bad time - but DavidG's pre-emptive strike solves the issue. > Bah humbug, eh? Re Yule, certainly. But you can eliminate the 'Christmas' aspect with -nosanta & -norudolph . I installed it, and it has to make you laugh. It is very clever, with loads of command line options to control almost everything. I imagine you quickly tire of it, but until then - it is fun.
