Hi, My email access is in spurts lately due to being away from the office....

They define the dependencies needed to setup a freevo system. Hence if you try to install freevo-core-suite and it complains about missing dependency package, you can figure out what else needs to be installed. Also can be used by apt-get or similar auto-dependency resolving software. This is mentioned in the Changelog (version info) for the depedency package section I think. > > I looked over the code, I guess we don't need this anymore: > python-fchksum-1.7.1-1_freevo.i386.rpm > python-fchksum-1.7.1-1_freevo.src.rpm > Ok. > if the user wants no tcl/tk he should compile himself: > PIL-1.1.4-2_freevo.i386.rpm > PIL-1.1.4-2_freevo.src.rpm > This was provided more as a favor to newbies.

I split it up for easier downloading, so there's freevo, freevo-runtime, freevo-apps, and freevo-boot. Therefore if you plan to have a separate runtime from the freevo tgz package, it is exactly what I've been doing with the RPM packages at this moment. If the runtime isn't an RPM package, the runtime would be installed as a tgz file and not be 'recognized' by the RPM package manager that it exists. > > use other: > ---------- > > http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/zapping/mp1e-1.9.2-1.i586.rpm is > the original download site for: > mp1e-1.9.3-1_freevo.i386.rpm > mp1e-1.9.3-1_freevo.src.rpm > > The mp1e tgz is newer than the RPM.
