Re: [Cooker] [REQUEST] OpenOffice.org 1.1 RCx inclusion
Any chance at SDK also (or OpenOffice.org-devel package or similar)? I don't think so. I have never looked into this and there are other things left to JIT learn fix. ;-)

No, there is another devel bundle called the XFree86-SDK or whatever. Most distros don't include it, but a few do (debian I think). It's required for very low-level linking of stuff like the ATI drivers. Spence and I asked one of the Freds about it a while ago. Doesn't sound likely to be included. Austin -- Austin Acton Hon.B.Sc.

You have my vote! :-) Actually, I notice that the kernel in beta2 was the old 9.1 kernel and at least mcc still reported 9.1 in the titlebar Having an updated kernel (2.4.22 (final) + patches) and (hopefully) OO 1.1(rc3) should be enough big change to warrant another beta3 release? Calling such a release a release-candidate would be risky, I think... A beta3 quickly followed by a RC1 release if no major problems are reported (with these important packages) within a few days would be much better than sending out RC1 immediately. Especially with the recent mirror problems, which may have caused glitches in the regular cooker testing process???

Re: [Cooker] [REQUEST] OpenOffice.org 1.1 RCx inclusion
I agree. OOo is awsome. Much better then 1.0.x. We just need to wait for localization packages to include too. Other then that it works perfectly and I hope to see it soon.

Hi, I agree. OOo is awsome. Much better then 1.0.x. We just need to wait for localization packages to include too. Other then that it works perfectly and I hope to see it soon. AFAICS, we are missing the following helpcontent wrt. 1.0.3 we shipped: Spanish, Finnish, Czech. Of course, that's just help files. Besides, wrapper script has yet to be updated for new conf files.
