Hi all, As promised, I installed 8.1 on my work machine earlier this week, and have been building packages to update the GNOME install on 8.1, it's taking some time, but I'm aiming to get as many done by the end of this week as possible because I'm on holiday next week. Advantages of using the packages from www.usr-local-bin.org include proper GNOME2 menu integration, and more frequent updates when I'm not on holiday ;) Unfortunately, there will be a delay on the pilot-link stuff. I got the latest version of pilot-link to build, but unfortunately I couldn't get the current version of gnome-pilot to build against it, so that's going to have to wait until I get back from holiday. Evolution has also been causing me some problems, but I'm hoping to beat it into submission by the end of today. I'll be uploading them all tomorrow, so don't hit the site yet, and I'll be removing the library packages that I've not built, these tend to be in good versions already in 8.1, but the following packages are already done: gftp gnome-spell galeon (built against the Mozilla 1.1 builds for 8.1) gnumeric gnucash ulb-menu (attempt at creating a usr-local-bin submenu in the GNOME2 menu - doesn;t quite work properly, not sure why, but doesn't screw anything up...) I hope to have Evolution, AbiWord and X-Chat done by the end of the week, specifically, the GTK2 port of X-Chat (1.9.x) and AbiWord 1.0.3 (Abi 1.1.0 - the first beta of 1.2 doesn't build, although I don't think this is a SuSE specific issue) The status of Gabber and Gaim is unsure at this time, I'll certainly not be doing a build of gaim-applet as this is incompatible with the GNOME2 panel. if anyone has a tarball of the new GNOME Notification Area Applet (in GNOME CVS apparently, although I can't find it...) that I can download, please email me and let me know, this provides the status dock functionality that Gabber uses, and the Gaim > 0.59.x will use when it's released (should be very soon). Upcoming additions will include updated Metacity/Metacity-setup and possibly the GTK2 port of the GIMP. As soon as there's a Galeon2 beta I'll do my best (Mozilla builds allowing) to add that too. I'll post on the list when I've uploaded stuff tomorrow, hope you enjoy the packages when they're all done.
