Re: [arch] Problems with Xorg 7

This upgrade is a biggie, and I think it deserves a 7.2 iso so people who install from 7.1 do not have to go thru what amounts to yet another install of X and all its apps. Looking at my bandwidth usage, I believe it is about as big as the transition from 7.0 to 7.1 --- Derek Carlson <[EMAIL PRO

The real problem is that info never caught on in the larger world. Extra packages are impossible in Arch, the maintainers would die from overload. The rukus is really about a handfull of big apps which require oversize docs. If I need info for a Gnu thing, I can grab it off the web and install it

Re: [arch] Judd, we need roadmap!!!

2005-10-28 Thread j l
What is urgent is a 7.1 base CD, with a 2.6.13 or 14 kernel because 7.0 talks about devfs, and that makes roadkill easy with the upgrade that follows. It will be a lot better for new to Archers if there is a 7.1 base CD without devfs, and with gcc 4 and the libs all in one bundle. --- Bozhidar Bat
