Not quite, as of last night you still cannot get 3.0.2 from YOU because of the Missing Handbooks bug. They're probably working on it right now, so it might be awhile. -- Bryce Hardy (Santa Rosa, CA) brycehdy@sonic.net

I downloaded and instyalled them via YOU, but they seem to be no longer available. On Tuesday 30 July 2002 16:31, wolfi wrote:

Strange, on my last YOU run on Sunday there was a possibility to get KDE 3.0.2 as 'optional' or so, IIRC. Hm, ok, I got my KDE 3.0.2 by downloading the complete rpms one or two weeks ago, so I thought they were on YOU now. This definitely does work:-)

Stay cool ... So far, given the fact that SuSE 8.0 got the 2.4.18 kernel ... there hasn't even been a new kernel release since then:-) Well, i don't know of course, but even KDE 3.0 was already included in the stock 8.0 distro, so what should be in a new release AT ALL?

It could be built with (and include) gcc 3.1 (or 3.1.1) rather than 2.95.3. It could have the latest sendmail and bind. Apache 2.x has now been released, so it could have 2.0.39 rather than 1.3.x. I am sure that there are many other packages which have newer versions than shipped with SuSE 8.0 or available via YOU.

At rpm4 to it as well. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Nope, we'll stay with rpm3! rpm4 just has too many still unresolved bugs, specially on some of the platforms SuSE Linux supports ( something around 8 different hardware platforms). If and when those bugs get fixed and rpm4 runs on all the platforms we support as well as rpm3, we may switch to it, but not before.

Any idea when those will be fixed, is RH accepting patches working on the bugs?

I honestly don't know. This is the information our top developers give and up til now I didn't check further. Philipp -- Philipp Thomas work: pthomas@suse.de Development SuSE Linux AG private: philippt@t-online.de

The "when's the next version out?" question is moot. Timings, 6 month gaps, 4 month gaps, etc. establish patterns, but eventually don't matter. It'll be ready when they're ready to ship it. There was interesting quote in that article though: "Will it be possible to run applications that are certified on UnitedLinux on a coming SuSE Linux Professional/Personal [distribution]: Yes." Since UnitedLinux is based on SuSE Linux, and SuSE's technical guys are doing all the integration work for UnitedLinux, it really does look like United Linux is just SuSE Linux by another name. He says UnitedLinux is for servers, yet SuSE's Professional and Personal distros will run all UnitedLinux applications. That seems to say that UnitedLinux is actually a subset of SuSE Linux. It feels like a good time to know SuSE Linux - it seems I already have a lot of experience with UnitedLinux! -- 12:48pm up 14 days, 3:25, 1 user, load average: 0.04, 0.12, 0.09
