Hello Rubber Turnip users. I noticed there are a few new updates available via apt-get. However, these packages seem to be the same versions as regular SuSE releases. Can anyone tell me what the differences are? Specifically, the following packages: abiword_1.0.2-SuSE.jeo.1_i386.rpm gabber_0.8.7-SuSE.jeo.2_i386.rpm gal_0.19.2-SuSE.jeo.1_i386.rpm gal-devel_0.19.2-SuSE.jeo.1_i386.rpm galeon_1.2.5-SuSE.jeo.1_i386.rpm gtkhtml_1.0.2-SuSE.jeo.1_i386.rpm gtkhtml-devel_1.0.2-SuSE.jeo.1_i386.rpm I'm running these versions: abiword-1.0.2-0 gabber-0.8.7-0 gal-0.19.2-2 gal-devel-0.19.2-2 galeon-1.2.5-19 gtkhtml-1.0.2-82 gtkhtml-devel-1.0.2-82 Is it worth the upgrade? Thanks in advance, -- John Ross Hunt johnrosshunt@attbi.com mailto:johnrosshunt@attbi.com
Well, if you're happy with the versions you have from SuSE, there's probably no need to change. One thing to bear in mind is that the Rubber Turnip packages tend to be updated quicker than the SuSE ones, so you'll get future versions quicker by using apt-get to use them, or from the site www.usr-local-bin.org Some other people have reported problems with using some SuSE packages that are fixed in the Rubber Turnip ones, but if they're ok for you, stick with them...
