[opensuse-gnome] abiword-unstable
I've committed the following new packages to GNOME:Community today: abiword-unstable abiword-unstable-plugins abiword-unstable-extras abiword-unstable-docs (as well as a required update to ots for the plugins packages). It's too late in our cycle (and too early in Abi's) for inclusion in 10.3 but I'd like to tentatively propose abiword-unstable* and ots for inclusion in 10.4 (or 11.0 or whatever the next version number ends up being), by which time it may be an official 2.6.0 release I suppose. The reason for dividing the packages in this way is simply that the Abi team have started producing separate tarballs and it seems to make sense to do it this way. The .specs are not based on the old abiword spec file which was a bit of a mess (because the old abi tarballs were a bit of a mess), instead I started fresh and the spec files are a lot cleaner as a result. -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org http://usr-local-bin.org GNOME for openSUSE: http://software.opensuse.org/download/GNOME:/ Help end poverty: http://oxfam.org.uk/in -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

I wouldn't do that. There are plan to switch to ONE tarball. And then you'll have lot of user complaining that AbiWord does not support OpenDocument because it is a plugin they haven't installed the package.... The # of bug reports in Ubuntu just speaks for itself. Just saying...

Hey Hub, thanks for the heads up.

Will it be a single ./configure && make && make install to build it when that happens or will it be like < 2.5 where we had to do abiword, then the plugins (and I guess then the extras now)? -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org http://usr-local-bin.org GNOME for openSUSE: http://software.opensuse.org/download/GNOME:/ Help end poverty: http://oxfam.org.uk/in -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
