I subscribed yesterday and I received an email this morning containing my
username/password.
One of the described benefits is to be able to download the Comm. rpms which are
normally only avaiable in the Powerpack.
At the present time there are now 9 such rpms which can be downloaded,
all having been built for Mandrake and built to run on 8.2
Some/all may run on earlier versions of Mandrake, I have not tested to verify, and all
do/may differ from the pkgs as they can be obtained from the vendor.
A case in point is Opera6 B1.
If downloaded from Opera the rpm or tar requires libpng2 which is not used in 8.2, 8.2
uses the current release which is lipng3 so the installation of Opera fails because of
failed depend.
The Opera rpm available from the club has been built by someone at Opera without the
lipng require and installs seamlessly in 8.2.
