Howdy,
Thanks for building this! If you’re open to some suggestions, here they are:
-include “ant” and any other java-related stuff someone running through a tutorial or “the” solr book might need
-yast is missing some ncurses thing to run properly, this cryptic command fixes it: “zypper in yast2-ncurses-pkg”
-the nat rule is bogus – it breaks all OUTBOUND port 80 by redirecting to tomcat – consider disabling it, it interferes with yast as well.
-the tomcat manager is broken because the config file for it is not installed, this fixes it: “p /srv/tomcat6/webapps/host-manager/manager.xml /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost/”
Thanks!
