Actually, I'm getting close for 5.3 to work. ;) I upgraded glib and gtk+,
next is Gnome. Basically, my system is so modified by source files
that a .rpm file won't count. Matter of fact, most of SuSE's .rpm files
won't work anyway..., (take wvdial for example, which is compiled
with 2.8? of ?..., sorry, but it's been a long night.) (insert NEW .rpm's
here btw.)
Personally, what I would like SuSE to do is produce a .RPM update
of compiler updates then have a tree for programs related to those
specific upgrades. As a example, Gnome 1.0 requires 1.20 of glib
and gtk+ 1.20. KDE is another fine example, or upgrading to the
2.2 kernel. (ala, even after reading the upgrade notes for the
2.2 kernel some files / links have been moved or linked into another
package. Issue's like this will either break or make a distrib.
Personally, I don't mind hunting for all of this, but other's will.
Just my 2 cents.
