Re: [Cooker] mandrake_desk dependencies
Dans l'article [EMAIL PROTECTED], Atha Kouroussis [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit : Would it be possible to divide the mandrake_desk package into three subpackages? These would be kde, gnome and common. The reason I say this is that I (and I am sure I am not the only one) use exclusively KDE. After a fresh install I try to clean up my system and remove gnome apps. But I cannot remove gnome-libs or control-center because mandrake_desk depends on them. For a 100% KDE workstation this isn;t very logic. Waht do you think?

Re: [Cooker] mandrake_desk dependencies
So sprach »Atha Kouroussis« am 2001-08-29 um 13:59:46 -0400 : Waht do you think? While I disagree on the KDE only thing (I'm a GNOME only guy *G*), I *completely* aggree with what you say. I think it would be *way* better to split up a lot of the packages in smaller packages so that only the needed parts can be installed. And maybe try to introduce Debian-like task packages, to ease installation of large components (like koffice, KDE, gnome ...).

I would say : remove all windowmanager dependencies from mandrake_desk. I guess that you can live with a few useless Gnome (s/Gnome/KDE) configuration files on your computer, what you really want is to remove easily the large library. The question is : why is there a dependency on such a package? It is not sensitive package, so removing the dependency would not break anything, as far as I know. Grégoire
[Cooker] mandrake_desk multiple installs
Hello, Almost everytime i update with urpmi, it tries to install mandrake_desk-8.0-12mdk, which is already installed. urpmi --auto-select urpmi --auto-select -M try to do it. urpmi --auto-select -m is the only way it doesn't try to install mandrake_desk. Maybe it's designed that way, but i can't imagine that. Greetings, -- Marcel Pol [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Cooker] mandrake_desk-7.2-4mdk - bad /usr/sbin/chksession
On Fri, 08 Sep 2000, I wrote:
/usr/sbin/chksession line 79 has commas where there should be semicolons.
If you're using KDE 1.1.2 as I do, this results in a long row of
comma-separated display managers instead of a drop-down list when kdm
appears, and you can't choose any of them. This is not good.
Line 79 should be as follows:
for(@lf) { $session .= /$lf[-1]/ ? "$_;failsafe;default" : "$_;" }
Would it be possible to do something like this?
if ($kdm) {
if installed KDE version = 1.*; then {
$session="SessionTypes=";
for(@lf) { $session .= /$lf[-1]/ ? "$_;failsafe;default" : "$_;" }
print "$session\n";
exit(0);
}
else {
$session="SessionTypes=";
for(@lf) { $session .= /$lf[-1]/ ? "$_,failsafe,default" : "$_," }
print "$session\n";
exit(0);
}
}

[Cooker] mandrake_desk
As soon as I installed the new mandrake_desk, Enlightenment vanished from my list of gdm/kdm window managers.
