I can't replace a DSO without 100 apps complaining that they need some 'SPECIAL' version of the DSO.... I can't upgrade to a newer fixed version that I want to install, I'm on your HOOK -- I'm not allowed to upgrade my libs, I have to wait for a suse patch. Worse, I'm not even allowed to upgrade from suse packages from different versions!... (or so some, including you have told me).
Yes you can. That you don't know how to isn't something to be bitching about. You can't build just any version of the libs, you've been told that, although it's pretty well known. You need a binary-compatible replacement, and for that you may want to start by applying openSuse-specific patches. If your libs don't work without the patches, it means the patches are needed for binary compatibility. You don't want the patches? Tough luck. Since you seem to love building your own stuff so much it's a wonder why you're not using Gentoo. Really. I don't use Gentoo because I don't want to spend my life building stuff, but you are, so... why not? It's not an attempt to get rid of you, it's just puzzling and I'd like to know. In any case, binary compatibility is a delicate beast. So... you broke it. It's no wonder, it's easy to break. You seem to always start from pristine upstream tarballs, configure && make, that's not the way to get binary-compatible replacements for a whole distro installation. You want to start with RPM sources. You want to read the SPEC file, and follow it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
