hey all, I'm a mandriva (2010.2) user for the time being . I just saw a missing packages list(http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=missing_packages). And I have to say that I cannot stand the bugs in mandriva (2010.2). I can list some of them: 1) scim-googlepinyin sometime( no , exactly often) failed to work . This is a bugs in googlepinyin input method(source code has problem) , so it shouldn't include in the released distros ,but Mandriva do include .
2) scim conflict with emacs23 it's a very ,very BIG problem . emacs23 has a good support of mule and work well with scim in other distros such Debian . But in Mandriva users cannot use scim in emacs, which sucks!! 3)qt creator cannot compile the source code .it's tricky that qt creator in mandriva often adds some verbose arguments to g++,which leads the compilation failed . 4)python(2.x,3.x) doesn't shipped a GUI idle. Idle is the std IDE shipped with python interpreter . I know in the /usr dir(I'm not in my mandriva box, and cannot remmember the exact path ),there is a idle.py script. But since it's a GUI IDE, why not let someone can use it by mouse click? There are some other bugs with Mandriva. There are not so many people use Mandriva here ,maybe the majorities turn to Ubuntu . can I guess Mandriva users get lost ? And the package maintainers add the packages without much enough testing ? And I'm not reporting mandriva bugs to mageia . I just recommend that mageia cannot include the packages without serious consideration (from mandriva).As far as this aspect concerned ,Debian is a good example to learn. -- ________________________ wolf python london(WPL) Do as you soul should do ! ________________________
