Here's my vote for rpm's to get Gnome 1.0 working under SuSE 6.0 !
Actually, I'm getting close for 5.3 to work. ;) I upgraded glib and gtk+, next is Gnome. Basically, my system is so modified by source files that a .rpm file won't count. Matter of fact, most of SuSE's .rpm files won't work anyway..., (take wvdial for example, which is compiled with 2.8? of ?..., sorry, but it's been a long night.) (insert NEW .rpm's here btw.) Personally, what I would like SuSE to do is produce a .RPM update of compiler updates then have a tree for programs related to those specific upgrades. As a example, Gnome 1.0 requires 1.20 of glib and gtk+ 1.20. KDE is another fine example, or upgrading to the 2.2 kernel. (ala, even after reading the upgrade notes for the 2.2 kernel some files / links have been moved or linked into another package. Issue's like this will either break or make a distrib. Personally, I don't mind hunting for all of this, but other's will. Just my 2 cents.
