[Cooker] HELLO MANDRAKE - AbiWord Can't Install
I got NO response that I can see and this IS a problem so I'll send it againmaybe Mandrake will respond this time... == Original Message Subject: AbiWord Can't Install Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2002 21:05:08 +1300 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Cooker Mandrake [EMAIL PROTECTED] This has been mentioned on the list before and is still not fixed. As of latest cooker, when trying to install AbiWord through URPMI, it says libaspell-common-0.50.2.so is needed by AbiWord-1.0.2-2mdk but when it tries to install it it encounters a package conflict and aborts. I assume this is because libaspell is now past that version. It needs to be fixed I think. I would assume it's just a case of AbiWord needing to be packaged against the new aspell. Ideas?? Cheers Jason

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 This is the cooker list. It is not a support list by Mandrake. In addition, if you install cooker, it is totally unsupported by Mandrake, as it is in development. Writing all caps is considered to be against netiquette.

A couple things to be note: 1 The best place to report bugs is in bugzilla. BTW, it's already reported. Check #603 in Bugzilla.

Re: [Cooker] HELLO MANDRAKE - AbiWord Can't Install
AbiWord was moved to Contrib some time ago because of font problems. They are probably no longer issue in current development releases in AbiWord. At some point when fcrozat gets time, he should probably package it and move it back to main (so long as the bug of the font system picking up Abi's fonts is fixed, I don't have a current cooker installation anymore to see). In the meantime while it's still in Contrib, anyone is free to package a new release and submit it to Lenny. Anyway that'd save fcrozat some time and work and make him more likely to finish moving it to main. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I got NO response that I can see and this IS a problem so I'll send it againmaybe Mandrake will respond this time... __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [Cooker] HELLO MANDRAKE - AbiWord Can't Install
You have no idea what you are talking about. You are right in one thing, this is the COOKER list and yes, I DID MEAN TO WRITE IN ALL CAPS. This is a support listfor Cooker issues. If a cooker package cannot be installed - whether in contribs or main, Mandrake need to know about it, period. That is the whole idea of cooker. I should not have to read bugzilla et al. This is a cooker package and this is the cooker mailing list. If this problem is already being addressed by Mandrake (or others) then Mandrake need to have the courtesy to at least say so on list, other wise why have beta testers?? Supported, no, in development yes - development means ensuring it can run and be installed, which it can't. End of story.

Re: [Cooker] HELLO MANDRAKE - AbiWord Can't Install
Oh, that's a great attitude. Reporting packaging bugs is now BITCHING?? Get a life I may not need it that badly but others might. If Mandrake don't want to ensure it will install and run, why have it in the distro at all??

Re: [Cooker] HELLO MANDRAKE - AbiWord Can't Install
Now that is a good response. A respectful one. That makes sense to me and if Mandrake would have said this then I, and everyone else, would know what was going on. Thank you David, much appreciated.

Re: [Cooker] HELLO MANDRAKE - AbiWord Can't Install
It is quicker to load, lighter in weight, and more similar to MS Word for those who have just migrated. It is also MUCH LESS resource hungry for lower powered (or lower disk space) machines. There are other reasons as well but they escape me right now. Cheers Jason PS, isn't OSS all about choice anyway?? PPS, I would like to see it back in main...

I'm not sure moving it back to main is a priority. It's a major application in the Gnome world, hell in the open-source world in general. It's very nice and even KDE users use it.
