RE: [Cooker] licq

2000-03-13 Thread geoffrey lee

hi,

what you write an rpm file, you will need a spec file. this is a much
revised spec file for licq, which fixes quite a number of problems and also
adds a gtk based gui plugin for thsoe who want it.

you cannot do anything with the spec right now. it's only for those who are
interested to see how i've changed it.

hi,

i know what you are experiencing right now. i've already sent a .spec fix up
here..but no one has applied it yet :( :(

if you cannot wait, please use this spec diff for xmms.
i've not tested it (too lazy to compile), but i don't see why it should not
work.

 Where is this script?  There's a couple things I'm trying to install for
 xmms, and all of them rely on or ask for xmms_config.  If this is in the
 xmms RPMs, where can I find it?

 That happened to me also. I had the locales-en installed , then after a
 fresh rsync from sunet 2 days ago , these weirdness started here in my
 box. After a rpm -qa|grep locale  , I discovered thar the locales-en
 package was deleted either from rpm's DB as from my box itself.


Yes, I got the very same problem. I made a forced reinstall of
locales-en-2.2-2mdk.noarch.rpm but the problem is still there.
Not only perl gives me nice warning, also GTK-programms complain

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library

Can it be, that there are some mo files missing in the new
glibc package? It is only about 4MB big. I remeber the older
ones were 8MB.

 Why is there still the old "alpha" in cooker, when
 the stable version was announced on 13th Feb. 2000, and
 even a 1.8.1a2 version exists? 
Go for it!!! If you have the time, please propose a new / updates package.
maybe a hackcdrecord-1.1.1a2 is a ncie contribution for the contrib...

and add to the %post and %postun of the spec file, the following:

%post
if [ -x /usr/bin/update-menus ]; then
  /usr/bin/update-menus
fi

%postun

if [ "$1" = 0 ]; then
  if [ -x /usr/bin/update-menus ]; then
/usr/bin/update-menus
  fi
fi

For example, a menu entry for lavaps a graphical process viewer will
look like that in /usr/lib/menu/lavaps:

?package(lavaps):needs="x11" section="Monitoring"  title="lavaps" \
longtitle="a graphical process viewer" command="lavaps"

For more info, read the doc in the menu package in /usr/doc/menu-*.

be carefull if you wanna switch, you'll have to reconfigure...
   
  
   in what way? my config file in /etc/X11?
 
  yep
 
   h...will the xf86config script still work, or do i have to
  use something
   else?
 
  i think the XFree bundled configuration tool must be available...
 
 
 
 so after i rerun the xf86config to re-create the config file, then X is
 ready ? if i only have to re-run the xf86config script, then i will consider
 upgrading, to 4.0.
 
 
 
   Xconfigurator will be broekn i guess?
 
  of course!
 
 i thought so. nevermind, i'm not really a fan of Xconfigurator anyway. i can
 do without it.
 
 btw, anyone knows if 3.3.x and 4.0 is compatible in terms of the X protocol?
 common sense says yes, but i'd like to confirm.
 
The 3.3 is based on X11R6 and the 4.x is based  on X11R6.4 so the core
protocol doesn't change (X11) but  there are new extensions in X11R6.4
like XInerama, Xvideo...
