Old subject didn't get any attention, so I'm posting with this one which will surely get some.
While I was trying to build updated isos i found in misc/doc/download a line "kernel-source exclude". What ? this can't be true. I search trough rpms, rpms2 and rpms3 and it isn't there. I check on fr2.rpmfind.net and its there. Hm strange, lets see what else is missing. I copy all the files from my rpms dirs to one directory and compare contents of that dir to fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/9.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/ What the f*** ? A LOOT of differences. It seems that I'm missing a lot of packages. My first thought was that these missing packages were transferred to contrib. Lets check.... no not there. Wait what's that. I have gcc-cpp_f-0.0.1-1mdk.noarch.rpm but on remote ftp there isn't one. I start to look at the differences and I notice a couple of odd things libsane-hpoj1-0.90-9mdk.i586.rpm that i have is newer that on mirror (on mirror libsane-hpoj1-0.90-8mdk), mandrake_doc-en-9.2-0.9mdk.noarch.rpm that I have is older than on the mirror (mirror mandrake_doc-en-9.2-1mdk.noarch.rpm ) This has to me mirrors fault? I check with mandrakeclub mirror and its the same thing. What happened ??? I have been told recently not to bitch/complain but to be a little more diplomatic when posting here. So here it is, I'm not bitching but asking nicely. I can understand that some packages like powermanga which isn't important (although very nice game) couldn't be fitted on the first 3 cds but why wasn't it transferred to contrib. And what's with the different versions ? I can understand that due to the last minute changes a newer package can be included in the download edition, but on mirrors a few packets are newer then in download !? So what should I do now ? I can download the missing packages from mirror but what shall I do with the packages which have different versions ?
