Flightgear needs some serious help. I started to work on it, but can't anymore since I don't have the UP2000 to compile on (the SX takes FOREVER to compile it). I had it displaying the splash screen during my last attempt, but it was bombing when reading scenery. I'll see if I still have a patch somewhere to get it at least that far (think I do). FYI, I'm also working on getting GNAT built, but it's an exercise in patience (which I lack). I need to get another drive in this beast and install Tru64 on it since the i386 cross-compile just didn't work out and I think it has something to do with the 32->64 bit problems. If anyone has a Tru64 machine that they can loan me some cycles on, I would greatly appreciate it since it would save me a ton of time tearing my machine apart.

Ivan's been a pretty busy fellow lately. Him and I have been working on getting Kamera compiled with the rest of kdegraphics (I had to ITP and package libgpio in a day to get this going). We've hit some wrinkles, though, and I know he's also been busy working on a better prelink for KDE as well. C
