Wow, what a rush!
Some things need correction:
KDE 2.0.1 is on /Mandrake-devel/unsupported directory for 7.2
XFree-4.0.2 can be found (for 7.2) at
ftp://mandragon.org/pub/mandrake
And the latter is NOT from Mandrake directly but from a LM user named Eric
Guntermann.
Sometimes in these discussions, we lose sight of what GNU/Linux is all about
and our faith in the process of the free software community flags.
Yes, there probably will be some subscription update service when we can
organize it. The trick is to make it profitable, paying not only for its own
cost but for the dimunition of the revenue stream of people not buying the
newest boxed sets because they already have the updates, but that is more a
business and feasibility issue than a technical or moral one.
And most of the people on this list know very well there is more to the
scheme than taking the SRPM and rpm --rebuild when you speak of a major
package like XFree. Anyway, thanks Pedro for your well-tought out
contribution.
If any think there is more value in continuing this discussion, I invite them
to post a story to http://www.mandrakeforum.com so others may benefit.
