Hello! I am using the packages from http://mwh.geek.nz/files/gobo/014.10/packages/ to make a major update to my system, which was presenting some problems after these years of small updates over small updates. I am doing almost an installation from scratch. I updated all the packages, disabled almost everything I had installed and now I am recompiling the stuff I need.
So far, so good. The packages mostly work out of the box. I found just a few problems, which I am reporting now so that everyone else can be aware of them. (BTW, thank you very much to take the time to prepare those packages. They spared me a lot of trouble!) First, if this is going to be put into an updated ISO, there are some missing dependencies. So far, I've found that the following packages should be added: 1) Startup-Notification (Firefox needs it) 2) Popt (Rsync needs it) 3) PTH (GnuPG and LibAssuan need it) Second: when running traceroute and ping (from InetUtils), I get an error message like "unknown protocol icmp". I've found that the /s/s/protocols file is missing (crating a proper /s/s/protocols file solved the problem) I suppose that this file (and perhaps others) should have been distributed in the InetUtils' default settings. Finally, for an ISO, a GRUB package would be needed, too. So far, these are the only problems I found. Virtually everything else seems to be running smoothly. Cheers, and thanks again!
