The .spec file of other packages often uses:
%{_infodir}/%{name}*
Shall I modify glib.spec to use %{_infodir}/%{name}* ?
Hmmm. I don't know what it the right thing here.
How does glib is to be added to the global /usr/share/info/dir?

Indeed rpmdrake is not really aware of full ftp-servers. At the moment it retries every 5 seconds which is a nuisance to those servers and it doesn't give a note to the desktop-user. Suggestion: wait for 5 minutes and put out a note to the desktop. By the way I allways start rpmdrake from the console. Now I bet most newbies don't know this trick so wouldn't it be helpfull for them if they would see all that info? Suggestion: basic. Let rpmdrake allways start from an xterm or make a separate window for it. Better yet, start 'rpmdrake --verbose'. You'll have even more detailled logs.

In fact in such case urpmi check for package that potentially need update: urpmi see a freetype-tools-1.3.1-11mdk needed freetype-1.3.1-12mdk which will be upgraded, it assumes freetype-tools need to be updated too, but if freetype-tools-1.3.1-12mdk doesn't exists, it try nothing. But this only works with -m mode (default of urpmi). If it doesn't work, this is a regression. Also I think rpmdrake have to reread the rpm-database to update correctly the package list (I think it removes the packages without such a check, even when urpmi generates an error-message). David ? No. rpmdrake should re-read the databas everytime. (It did before, but users complained about its slowness...)

Hi there,
during the installation, if you choose to configure your proxies, 2

ftp_proxy and http_proxy variables.
These variables will be useful for the applications that are

Okay, but is someone working on fixing the MandrakeUpdate problem reported? Which problem? I'm aware of a lot of problems with MandrakeUpdate/rpmdrake. And yes, I'm working on them. I spend too much time updating this thing for the latest rpmlibs, and fixing what other people does wrong. It is kind of difficult to look for fixes in cooker manually, especially when we hear that the dates of some files were incorrectly set and therefore, ls -t doesn't tell me what's new. I have heard about this problem on some mirrors. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do here. regards, DindinX -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The rebuilt libglib2-1.3.6-2mdk package just came through the mirrors, and STILL has the problem, it appearantly was not installed before rebuilding! Also, libatk0, libgtk+2, pango and kdelibs still need an update or rebuild since they depend on libglib-1.3.so.5. Nothing in the compilation of glib-1.3.6 seems to need glib-1.3.5. I still don't understand why libglib-1.3.so.5 is needed by libglib2-1.3.6-1mdk. As I expained above, compilation goes fine. However, in 'make install', libglib-1.3.so.6 normally is installed in /usr/lib, but rpm lets it install in /home/odin/rpm/tmp/libglib2-root/usr/lib. So far, everything is fine. Next, 'make install' gets to the gobject directory and notices that libgobject-1.3.so.6 links against ../.libs/libglib-1.3.so.6, where the following thing happens: /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c libgobject-1.3.la /home/arnd/rpm/tmp/glib-1.3.6-root/usr/lib/libgobject-1.3.la libtool: install: warning: relinking `libgobject-1.3.la' cd /home/arnd/rpm/BUILD/glib-1.3.6/gobject; /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=relink gcc -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mcpu=pentiumpro -march=i586 -ffast-math -fno-strength-reduce -Wall -D_REENTRANT -o libgobject-1.3.la -rpath /usr/lib -version-info 6:0:0 -export-dynamic gboxed.lo gbsearcharray.lo gclosure.lo genums.lo gobject.lo gparam.lo gparamspecs.lo gsignal.lo gtype.lo gtypemodule.lo gtypeplugin.lo gvalue.lo gvaluearray.lo gvaluetransform.lo gvaluetypes.lo ../libglib-1.3.la gcc -shared gboxed.lo gbsearcharray.lo gclosure.lo genums.lo gobject.lo gparam.lo gparamspecs.lo gsignal.lo gtype.lo gtypemodule.lo gtypeplugin.lo gvalue.lo gvaluearray.lo gvaluetransform.lo gvaluetypes.lo -L/usr/lib -lglib-1.3 -Wl,-soname -Wl,libgobject-1.3.so.6 -o .libs/libgobject-1.3.so.6.0.0 From this point on, libgobject-1.3.so.6.0.0 links against libglib-1.3.so.5 if that was installed in /usr/lib. If no libglib is installed at all in /usr/lib, libgobject and the others will contain no reference to libglib at all, which is ok.

You should use : 0.7.0 for version 0.pre3-1(mdk) for release therefore, when 0.7.0 final will be out, you'll just have to change to 0.7.0 for version and 1mdk for release Thanks, but when I try that rpm complains that "-" is an illegal character for release. right. for pre-release, you should use 0.3mdk (or 0.pre3 if you prefer) for the release tag.

On Tue, Jan 30, 2001 at 04:31:35PM +, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There still seems to be a problem with vi despite the latest packages attempts to fix it. On my system the following happened: vi was created as a link to /etc/alternatives/vi This is expected. /etc/alternatives/vi was also a link, but to /usr/bin/vim This is really strange. It should link to /usr/bin/vim-enhanced. And the script in %post enhanced does link to /usr/bin/vim-enhanced. Unfortunately /usr/bin/vim no longer seems to exist on my system, I only have /usr/bin/vim-enhanced (I do have all of the various vim packages installed.) I can see two problems with this: Firstly obviously the lack of a file called /usr/bin/vim leaves a broken link which means that vi will still not start. /usr/bin/vim is now called /usr/bin/vim-enhanced. Secondly I believe /bin/vi should be linked to /bin/vim-minimal (This will mean that vi can still be run in event of the /usr filesystem not being mountable at boot). I disagree. I usually use 'vi file.c' and expect vim-enhanced to be launched. Even if /usr isn't mounted, you can still edit a file with /bin/vim-minimal Also there should be a link setup for /usr/bin/vi to link to /usr/bin/vim-enhanced, in this way once the system is fully up and running vim-enhanced will be called upon running vi as /usr/sbin should preceed /bin in the users path. ??? There's nothing in /usr/sbin, and vi doesn't belong to /usr/sbin. Beside /bin is before /usr/bin, so if I do what you've asked for, people with both vim (minimal and enhanced) would be angry because vim-minimal would be launched when they invoke 'vi'. Finally I would have thought that /etc/alternatives/vi and /etc/alternatives/vim can be completely dropped as I cannot see any reason for this double linking (There may of course be something I am missing). man update-alternatives. The previous way (without alternatives) was good for vim. But one couldn't install different flavour of vi. DindinX -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
