That's plain wrong thinking... if Mdk wants to limit their sales to just those who test/run Cooker, I might agree... BUT... they want to sell as much as they can, and they really have no way of telling how people will use the distro. If there are some applications that won't even *start*, what does that say for Mdk QA??? After all, the distro is named "Mandrake Linux", not "Linux By A Rag-tag Bunch of Cooker/Wannabe Testers Who Didn't Have the Time or Inclination to Test All the Applications: Good Luck!"...
If you are long enoushould know that it can running flawless and do not even start on another machine. So testing on some given machines would not mean it does work for you. (for whatever reason) That is why you should test it if you want have running it. So the statement you are doing is not valid.
Why do some people insist on replying, just to make some orthogonal, ephemeral points?
I am talking about PROGRAMS THAT WILL *NOT* RUN ON ***ANY*** MACHINE BECAUSE THEY HAVE *NOT* BEEN COMPILED OR LINKED PROPERLY(PERIOD)!
as stated above . What is needed is a good bugreport from you.
And it got IGNORED! Not just once... All that was left to do was to
rebuild the RPM *correctly* and release it as an UPDATE...
For 9.0, I reported it, was even blamed for building it wrong, pointed out I just installed it, got the impression it would be fixed, not!
You wouldn't be blamed for building it wrong if you are reporting it to cooker. Reporting it to cooker is what is needed.
Right... on a RELEASED distro... oh, phooey... just go read the archives from shortly after 9.0 was released.
Invalid statement. They don't put not working apps in mandrake, the only thing is they can't know if it is working for you.
BUT THEY ***CAN*** KNOW IF IT WON'T WORK FOR *ANYONE*!!! NO?????
<SIGH>
