Dear friends:
I thought you might find this very reassuring:
Subject: Re: [HC Hello] Ximian-Gnome NOT on Mandrake 7.2 -- Why?
Date: 19 Mar 2001 14:51:34 -0500
From: Mark Gordon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: Benjamin Sher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
There are some bugs in helix-update that prevent us from releasing the
most critical package (an updated gdm) through normal channels, so at
this point it looks like we're waiting for Red Carpet to mature a bit
more. In the meantime, the updated gdm package can be downloaded from
http://primates.ximian.com/~peter/gdm-2.0beta4-22mdk_helix_10.i586.rpm
There are a couple of other fairly minor bugs (icons in gmc have some
issues; we need a new gmc package specific to Mandrake 7.2. Also, our
gnucash package won't work on Mandrake 7.2).
We haven't abandoned Mandrake. We plan to support Mandrake 7.2 as soon
as Red Carpet is a bit more stable, and we plan to support Mandrake 8
when it is available (after a reasonable interval for testing of our
packages).
Sincerely,
Mark Gordon
