Hopefully, spec files are MUCH less then binaries. :-) Unfortunately, my provider allows me only 30MB of space on server, and my KDE site together with htmltests already took some portion of it. And, they do not allow .zip and .mp3 files to be placed on server. But, rpm has different extension, I will try today :-) As about AMD-specific builds. I was asking about it several times. It looks like we will have them when gcc 3.0 *final* arrives. I can't afford to install Cooker on my machine, so I am still sticked to gcc 2.95 and LM 7.2.

Re: [Cooker] Why no Official KDE 2.0.1 Update?
Does it really take that much time and effort? I am assuming it is packaged pretty much the same way as KDE 2.0. Am I wrong? Where is a good resource on learning how to package something?

How hard can this be? If I got to the KDE site I find that Caldera has rpms for it. Redhat has RPMS for both Redhat 6.x and 7.0. SuSe has for like everything including their SPARC version. The Mandrake has a stupid readme saying that cooker has a better version. Well, that's great and totally useless. Cooker is not stable and cooker is completely incompatible with 7.2.

RE: [Cooker] Why no Official KDE 2.0.1 Update?
I'm starting to become of the opinion that when one is installing distributions such as mandrake and redhat, one should pay close attention to software that one is *particularly* keen on. One should *not* install these through rpm rather one should COMPILE FROM SOURCE!! I've had no end of troubles with (various bits of) KDE2 and its next to impossible to update *just* those bits (eg kdemultimedia) without making a mess... I compiled kdemultimedia from source on mandrake 7.2 after several programs from that package were causing problems. After the compilation those programs still cause trouble... more in fact. On a redhat 7 machine I forcibly removed all the kde packages and compiled the whole kde2 set from scratch. The result? BLISS!

He, he.. Now I must be serious. Mandrake Comp. said that no final Kde-2.0.1 will be available for users of Mandrake 7.2. I compiled myself when I had to compile final Kde-2.0.1. It took 24 hours. I was totally compiled after that experience.

I am a free man! Pity this doesn't go to alt.humor.best-of-usenet... Sorry but I really couldn't resist that (to tell the truth I didn't even try) 8-)

Mandrake has no plans to make RPMS of Kde2.0.1 for Mandrake 7.2. The only available 2.0.1 will be on Cooker (which is BTW binary incompatible with 7.2). Compile yourself. Regards,
