I guess there is no longer a "definitive" source for the Ham Radio packages.
They were dropped from the main distro in 9.3 and were put in the "projects"
tree off ftp.suse.com by J. Reuter, DL1BKE.  There were packages there for
9.3 and 10.0 and are mirrored on many sites.  I have not seen anything since
the 10.0 packages.  I simply repackaged the 10.0 so that 10.1 would
recognize them as a valid install source.  DG7GT went a step further and
updated and recompiled them for 10.1.  I have mirrored his package tree on
ftp.w1nr.net.  Someone will need to repackage them again for 10.2 as they
changed the way install sources are handled (again sigh!).  Once 10.2 is
released, I will try and find the time to repackage them again, but no
promises at this point.  What really needs to happen is for the openSuSE
team to get their build service finished and a couple of the Ham developers
need to convince them to make these packages part of the build service.  I
will be glad to help.  Anyone else like to volunteer?

I have ftp.w1nr.net which was the only source I could find so far.
