This kind of make us slaves of RedHat and some of the bullshit they push at times. +There is little choice in many cases. What could be done is some wrappers for some sort of Fedora compatibility if there is enough demand for a package that needs that. When there is a good alternative that does the same thing then I would be opposed to +suking up too much to those folks. The goal here is to make our users happy without compromising our principles too much. + +Here is an example I had to deal with to get an Atmel program that was designed for Fedora to install on Mandriva 2010.0 + +elfutil split in different packages. I created one file that satisfied the Atmel installer. The package actually only had one text file telling you that it was a bogus package to satisty the Atmel program. +At one time a package had an X instead of an x in the name, aside from that it was the same thing (same version and all) + +I had the whole Atmel code working nicely on Mandriva 2010.0. When my hard disk crashed I didn't bother reinstalling because of the sound issues I had with Mandriva. I switched to Scientific Linux, I recently installed Mageia and found that I like it +better, French support is better for one thing. +The only problem I see is my Atmel debugger no longer works, I am working on that. I allready have created the binutils and compiler with the latest Atmel patches. Perhaps running Fedora 12 in VirtualBox might be a good intermediate solution for debugging. +I could use windows XP I guess but I have enough of this at work. When I get home windows would be the last thing I would want to see. + +Michel + +-- +For OS/2 and Linux Software visit +<A HREF="http://home.comcast.net/~mcatudal">http://home.comcast.net/~mcatudal</A> + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="009944.html">[Mageia-dev] Teamviewer and X86_64 build . . . +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="009956.html">[Mageia-dev] Teamviewer and X86_64 build . . . +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#9946">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#9946">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#9946">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#9946">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
