Re: [Cooker] How about bundling Microsoft True Type fonts?
On Thu, 24 Sep 1998, Mandrake Bugs wrote: Wrong. Mandrake 6.0 and 6.1 come with X-TT in X, not (like RH) with xfsft. Therefore, it's not ttmkfdir, but mkttfdir. So, Bernard, does this then mean that Mandrake works functionally identical to RedHat, but does it differently? Almost identical functionally. X-TT has a couple of significant advantages over xfsft, for example it has better support for Chinese/Japanese fonts. Also, XFree86 4.0 will be using X-TT for TrueType support, so we are compatible with the future and RH isn't. It's a "bug" RH needs to fix; it very probably won't happen before XFree86 4.0 is released. If that's so, how does that combine with the Mandrake claim to be 100% compatible with RedHat? Where have you seen that claim regarding 6.0 or 6.1? We claim 100% compatibility for 5.x releases, 99% for 6.x, because we still use the same packaging, etc., in some (few) places, our improvements break compatibility where the gain justifies it. Besides, there are no changed APIs or such - this won't break compatibility with RH RPMs in 99.% of the cases. LLaP bero -- Tired of waiting for Windows 2000?

What are your thoughts on the state of gcc 2.95.1? gcc 2.95.1 is ready for everything. Everything on my computers is currently compiled with gcc 2.95.1 [aside from the FreeBSD box, adapting the FreeBSD kernel is more work than adapting the Linux kernel]. The only problem with gcc 2.95.1 is that it doesn't understand the broken asm() statements prior versions understood, and therefore it won't compile the kernel out of the box. I've been having LESS trouble with it that with any other compiler I ever tried. The kernels in cooker are compiled with it, as well, by the way - and we haven't had bug reports that could be identified as compiler problems. LLaP bero -- Tired of waiting for Windows 2000?

Unless any major bugs turn up, we'll release it by Friday... [Speaking for the wu-ftpd development group here, not for Mandrake] Have you totally stopped developing bero ftpd? BeroFTPD and wu-ftpd have been merged together again. The only reason I started BeroFTPD was that wu-ftpd seemed to be pretty much stalled - a new release only every few months, not integrating any of the fixes or new features people like myself posted on the lists. After 2.4.2beta17, things started to be different, there was wu-ftpd stock, which was stalled, there was wu-ftpd-vr, Gregory Lundberg's version of what the daemon should be, and BeroFTPD, my version of what it should be. Since more and more people got annoyed with this, the old maintainer was finally ruled out and starting with 2.5.0, wu-ftpd was transfered to an open development group led by Gregory and myself. The 2.6.0 version is all about getting the BeroFTPD features and fixes back into wu-ftpd, and I have CVS write access to the tree, so I don't see a need to work on BeroFTPD anymore because basically wu-ftpd 2.6.0 = BeroFTPD 1.4.0. I'll probably release a wu-ftpd 2.6.0 version I just repackaged as BeroFTPD 1.4.0 just so people see where we're headed. ;) LLaP bero -- Tired of waiting for Windows 2000?

The way it looks, it's not a bug, it's a feature. Preprocessing got more

linux/if.h gets struct sockaddr stuff from linux/socket.h, which does
something about struct sockaddr only

Any application including linux/if.h is broken anyway (portability);
