Re: [Cooker] Konqueror can't handle HTML??
Try installing autoirpm, that should take care of any dependency problems automatically, atleast it did for me.

Well, the grave error you've made was to --force --nodeps the installation. Dependencies are in there with a reason, you know... Before erasing the rpm's, why don't you try to fix the dependencies first? Alexander Skwar

Re: [Cooker] rpmdrake/urpmi comments
Something else that would be nice to have: urpmi.updateall to update all installed media insted of manually updating whatever number of ftp servers you have added. If it could somehow be made to ignore cdrom media, that would kick even more ass, since I'm assuming cdrom media doesn't get changed every day.

Problem with urpmi - if I do an update on a directory with a bad RPM (say one with zero bytes because it was never downloaded) urpmi gives up and then corrupts that database, and doesn't read the rest of the directory. rpmdrake will then segfault during startup. Removing that database entry saves the other entries. urpmi does not cope too well with multiple versions of the same package in the database. urpmi still gets the file location wrong if I install from a subdirectory from a harddisk based install In rpmdrake - if it tries to install an RPM and a conflict arises, if you cancel the prompt to not install the RPM then the wizard thinks you have successfully installed the package (even though you haven't). in rpmdrake - once you update/install a package, it remains selected unless you deselect it. rpmdrake cannot seem to distinguish between a source package and a binary one - both entries are listed identically if they are the same application! In the old rpmdrake I had the ability to do a search on file listings and package descriptions as well as the package names - this is a sorely missed feature. To be able to use rpmdrake or urpmi as the sole package management utility there needs to be a way to install one package that is not listed in the database - ie if I download j2sdk.rpm I should be able to urpmi j2sdk.rpm without having to add it to the database. I know it's too late for this given the freeze but I'm just saying it would be nice. Keep up the good work! Con.
RE: [Cooker] Content of mirors
Ahh, you obviously haven't read all the complaints on Slashdot from Aussies :) There was one guy who did a traceroute on his neighbor and the packet was going all the way to New York before coming back! It all depends on which other ISPs your ISP is peering with at the NAP(?).

That's getting close to topping out the max speed of my cable modem. What more evidence do I need than that? Besides, just take a wild guess, what is going to be closer, topology-wise, to me, a mirror in the same city as me, or one on the other side of the Atlantic (and continent, since Alberta is on the west side of North America)? Can you give any example when it would be a shorter route to cross the planet than to go down the block? I wasn't just guessing about how good it was before I said something, I have been known on occasion to research (what little I had to do) what I say before I say it. Unfortunately it wasn't until the mirror was "done", i.e. downloaded all that it could, that I found out that the thing was broken. It goes as far as xearth (IIRC) in the Mandrake/RPMS directory, and everything alphabetically beyond that is not there (I checked against another mirror (ciril.fr) that I knew was good). images and boot directories are empty too.

It looks like it failed to finish mirroring on Jan 30th, and no one has started it back up again and fixed it. I've tried emailing them but got no response (and mirroring from them, with their server center being 20 blocks from my home, would be far more efficient than pulling from anywhere else). Does anyone else have a contact there they could talk to and get this fixed? And incidentally, the Cooker page says Cadvision is in the U.S. It isn't. It is located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. But now I'm just being patriotic. ;-) Otherwise, the University of Alberta (in Edmonton, 300 KMs north of Calgary) has a big, fat sunsite mirror and a big, fat pipe, but no mandrake-devel (7.2 and iso's, yes, devel, no).
