I'm going to avoid Chris's RPMS on principle anyway, because they are are not properly marked as alpha code [yes there's a date stamp, but this doesn't make it clear its CVS code]. This pollotes systems in future once KDE 2.1 is actually out, as well as screwing up future depencencies. The more conventional way of naming CVS RPMs is as follows: kdebase-0.0.20001210-1mdk.i586.rpm Rather than kdebase-2.1-0.20001210.2mdk.i586.rpm Mike civileme wrote: > On Tuesday 12 December 2000 02:13, you wrote: > > > > Mike MacCana wrote: > > > Chris Molnar's RPMs seem to be marked as 2.1 - AFAIK, there > > > is not KDE 2.1 yet, and it makes me very worried to install > > > them on my system, especially when thewre may be a real 2.1 > > > soemtime in the future, and the version numbers will screw > > > up dependencies. > > > > > > Mike > > > > Mike....that's odd, the ones I downloaded from nebsllc.com > > were all designated as 2.0.1-0.1mdk > > Lessee, > > Chris's rpms at the NEBS site are from the CVS tree on the way to 2.1 While > they predate the 2.0.1 release date, they are from the CVS after the feature > freeze for 2.0.1 and well on the way to 2.1. > > Chris's rpms in Cooker which are compatible only with someone running Cooker > are a 2.1prerelease.
