Hi there
I've tried to formalize a list of missing packages:
http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=missing_packages
These are packages included in rpmsrate file but not available in
Mageia. So basically they should be included in isos depending on
weight. Please follow pattern if you want to contribute it will help
also to clean rpmsrate.
These packages are not mandatory but please do not forget to add
reason if there are not to be imported.
I think we should do some cleaning.
- zcip is dead upstream ( but I imported before seeing this )
- rpm-rebuilder is IMHO not used much
- zaptel-* are deprecated, that's now called dadhi
- rio500, does people still have this hardware ?
- sndconfig, same question ( afaik, it serve to configure isa sound
cards )
There is also a lot of hardware related software, can people check if
this is still used ?
Hi,
Sorry to disturb your discussion. Just a few word about me : I am
following this list since the beginning and I am a "from the outset"
mandrake / mandriva user.
The reason for my e-mail: I am still using sndconfig on PIII machines in
ordre to configure the sound, so please don't remove it.
The more global goal of my messages is : please don't remove packages
that you think "useless" too fast. The availability of these "small
details" (as sndconfig) are the thinks that makes me feeling happy or
angry about a distribution ;-)
Thanks for having read me and please don't drop all these uncommon
packages! (I have also seen xine-ui in the list).
Xavier
