BM> Yes, misc/doc applies *only* to ISO images, not to the mirrors. Well that is so obvious that there is no need to point that out. BM> Maybe fr2.rpmfind.net isn't in sync. Actually it is. If you read my post carefully you will notice that I compared my findings with mandrakeclub download section and that my first thought was that fr2.rpmfind is out of sinc. BM> Yes, that's a nice way to encourage us to answer your questions when you BM> don't even check official mirrors (or known-good ones). So http://rpms.mandrakeclub.com/rpms/mandrake/9.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/KByName.html isn't an official mirror. What can be more official than mandrakeclub. And please don't put my words out of context. The proper way is to read the hole post than make up your mind. I was truing to show step by step what i did so I would avoid answering to a lot of questions of type did you did this or that. when you have a problem you have to explain it in detail so that was what I did. BM> No idea what gcc-cpp_f is, never seen it before. DESCRIPTION:Virtual provides of gcc-cpp via gcc-cpp2.96 Everyone that that downloaded the first iso has it. BM> Not sure about this. Maybe you could politely ask the maintainer about BM> the changes reflected in the changelog (which you can see easily if you BM> subscribe to the changelog list. It doesn't matter what has changed. What matters is that there is a difference between my rpms (in rpms rpms2 rpms3 ) and mirrors. A was under impression that RPMS dir on mirror holds everything that I get on my 3 cds. I will check this with 9.1 since I have those cd on me. The real problem here is that when someone wonts to play powermanga (or needs whatever package that is missing) he will most probably check rpmfind.net and he will realize the same thing that I did. So what should he/me do now ? Add a mirror as another repository ? 99.9 % of people here will agree that this is just plain stupid. BM> Riight, read the end of your previous post, really diplomatic in BM> comparison to all the other threads. It was 1:20 AM, I was pretty frustrated while trying to figure who the hell cares. I'm an unsatisfied customer, it doesn't mater the tone of my voice. What matters is that Mandrakesoft should investigate every complain no matter how stupid or crude it may seem. I'm trying to help here people. to make some things right. I'm just plain crazy or other people here think that this is unprofessional ? This leaves a bad picture. If I or my company did something like this we would be out of business. Should I take this to the official support chanel ? Should I buy support and send this directly to responsible people. Developers here should care about this. We all want to make a better distribution. End don't give me that attitude thing as I no longer care. Every time the new distribution is released it has it rough edges but this one... I can understand mistakes made in development but mistakes like this are made because someone didn't pay attention. Question to the person who made iso-s ? Did you know this ? How did it come to this ? Please explain to me how did you do it ? Is this a problem in communication between admins in MandrakeSoft like with updates that are announced but show up 4 days later. If you don't want to replay to this message because you think I'm to rude then don't. But you should investigate this if you have any power within mandrake. People lets make things more professional. Things like this do matter. If you think that what I'm talking about isn't important just send an empty reply saying nobody cares. We don't care about this whatever and I will stop posting on this subject. BM> Because contrib isn't main, main isn't contrib. That has nothing to do BM> with the fact that main is over 200MB larger than the space available on BM> 3 CDs. So should we make another Contrib. Or should we just let these 200mb of packages stay in total oblivion ? BM> Read the changelog to see if it's anything that affects you. ? Do you even understand what I'm talking about. If it doesn't affect me maybe it affects other people. BM> I don't see why I need to read your posts if you continue like this, so BM> don't expect an answer if you stick to your current style (as it doesn't BM> seem you are motivating anyone else to answer your posts either). Good. Then I will know that I'm left on my own and that I have to make my own modifications, build my own isos, and my own updates. And at the end if it turns up that it is to much for me I will try some other distribution. i haven't installed anything else except mandrake in the last few years (since RH 6.2) but maybe its time to start now.
