Re: [Cooker] Another Bad RPM
So sprach R.I.P. Deaddog am Sat, Apr 14, 2001 at 09:57:58AM +0800: So learn to compile from source yourself, you'll discover much more problems then that! Uhm, if I wanted to do this, I'd take FreeBSD! One of the reasons I like Linux more, is that I don't have to compile everything myself.

Re: [Cooker] Another Bad RPM
I'm downloading from sunet - I've seen others have problems with other sites as well. I thought possibly something became corrupted on my drive so I removed the bad rpm's here and re rsynced them and they were bad straight from sunet.

Re: [Cooker] Another Bad RPM
Yes, this is a developer's list but not everyone gets a stiffy over compiling from source. If you're so adamant about doing so why do you even bother with Mandrake, why not go Slack? If anyone doesn't belong here it's you. Why don't you do everyone on the list a favor and leave. Sorry for the off topic post folks but I belong to numerous mailing lists and lately there seems to be an over abundance of folks feeling a need to wave their dicks around.

Ladies, ladies, c'mon calm down. He's got a point - it is handy to be able to compile RPMs for situations just as these when the ready made RPMs don't work, but then so do you - Mandrake has a reputation as an easy to use distro, and your average newbie doesn'tt know, and in an ideal world shouldn't have to know, the first thing about upgrading. But let's not turn this mailing list into a flame war huh guys? Giles, I have to agree. The thing I find a little frustrating right now is although it would be reletively easy to compile from source, being this close to final, I would like to stay as stock as possible.
