Re: [Mageia-dev] Alpha2 iso content
Greetings, About Geeqie being abandonned too, this is sad news. I kind of liked the idea of an actively developped project, if only to avoid bitrot (the GTK2->3 may require some work in the not-so-far future, for example) Too bad, and thank you for the heads-up. Best regards, Priscus.

True I didn't even realise that there is also a 'wine' package in addition to 'wine64' and 'wine32'. 'wine32' seems to contain all that's needed to run win32 apps (at least I have used it here on my Mageia x86_64 box to run a few win32 apps without problems) so I haven't felt any need for this other 'wine' package so far. -- Mageia ML Forum Gateway: http://mageia.linuxtech.net/forum/

Re: [Mageia-dev] Alpha2 iso content
Geeqie is almost dead too these days (on the ML all initial devs recently said they don't have time anymore to dedicate to it, also s.o. else seems to have cloned the code to github and is working on it separately so currently there are several svn/git versions floating around), personally I'm not too convinced by the changes made in Geeqie, I still prefer Gqview. Of course that doesn't mean that we can't have both packages just like Mandriva, which also has both Gqview and Geeqie packages in the repos (even in cooker last time I looked). I wouldn't consider Geeqie a replacement, rather a specialized fork aimed at professional photo tagging. -- Mageia ML Forum Gateway: http://mageia.linuxtech.net/forum/

[Mageia-dev] Alpha2 iso content
Greetings, Hello from an old Mandrake user and lurker, and now Mageia hopeful. I am very certainly too late for the Alpha 2, but this may be useful for next round: GQView has been abandonned by its author since 2006: there is an actively developped fork, Geeqie (http://geeqie.sourceforge.net/), already present in Mandriva 2010.1 contribs if it helps. Unless there are missing features or Geeqie bloats excessively (it does not seem that way to a casual user), it may even be possible to replace GQView completely and drop the RPM. Any opinions from GQView heavy users? Music-wise, Clementine might be a good candidate for ISO inclusion: it is already in core, has few dependencies (and most are already in the ISO anyway) and handles large collections better than most equivalents (exaile, for example, last time I checked) It is the Amarok for those who do not want or cannot afford KDE on their computer (old SSD-based netbooks, for example). I will try to be more timely in the future (including sending this again for the beta, if necessary) Best regards, Priscus.

That's not the point. One may want to have both: - wine64 in order to run 64biut windows program - playonlinux in order to play 32bit stuff

What would be the solution ? I must admit I didn't know this problem in Mandriva because I have only i586 systems. Playonlinux requires wine and wine-full (both provided by wine, and wine-full being an explicit Requires you added some months ago, from the changelog). Does wine64 provide those ? Is the requires on wine the problem ? Best regards Samuel Verschelde
