Contrib?
Hi! I have built 2 new rpm's that could go in contrib: kopete-0.5 and angband 3.0.1 What should I do with them? And, the old problem with kde 3, that every time you log in the kdewizard starts... how could that be fixed? It has been like that since the first kde-3 betas and still is with kde-3.1beta2 //ernie

(but this > is looking from the outside) Actually Mandrake doesn't host any of it's own files for even x86. They have a internal mirror that very few sites have access too. All the other mirrors are just hosting out of the kindness of their hearts. So Mandrake is walking a fine line. If they put too much up for the mirrors to get they may decide not to carry Mandrake anymore at all. And if they put up too little then people like you get the wrong impression. PPC is not a money making project at all. Mandrake is doing this as a contribution to the community. So cut them some slack when it comes to what they do. I may be a bit vocal at times but I'm pretty understanding about not getting a full binary mirror because of these issues. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org We tend to see all wars through the lens of the current conflict, and we mine history for lessons convenient to the present purpose. - Brian Hayes

I guess my real question is: can the kde3 packages located here be installed
under my 8.2 install? if not where can i find those packages?
if the lack of 8.2/ppc/contrib is a problem, when i get my T1 back up next
month i will host the packages there. i think it is pretty sad that mandrake
has to get other people to host their packages. it seems like they are
giving the bare minimum resources to keep this project alive. (but this is
looking from the outside)
thanks for the help,

If you mean Mandrake-devel/cooker/ppc then you're not really right.
Unfortunately the contrib under Mandrake-devel is for cooker. PPC
doesn't get it's own binary archive (Mandrake/8.2/{i586,ia64}) or
contrib dir for released versions (Mandrake/8.2/contrib/i586). So
really there is no good contrib archive for 8.2/ppc.
> cooker: don't even to attemp to install on an 8.2 install because

Yes and no. Not everything has been recompiled. And even if they have
been if it's not a C++ app it's likely to work on 8.2. However, there
may be other issues that stop things from working right. Same thing
holds true of the Mandrake-devel/contrib archive.
> updates: updates to the packages that came with the 8.2 cds
Correct, these are security or other updates done due to bugs.
If you're looking for things that are normally included in main for x86
but aren't on the ISO's for PPC I've got an archive of all the stuff
that didn't make 8.2. But I don't have an 8.2 contrib archive.
All the things that would have been on the 3rd ISO had there been one
are here:
