I knowed there was something, but because i do not work with OpenPKG
daily, i depend on a search function. My own did not work, because my
htdig config seems to be broken (sure, when you need it...). And the
one on the OpenPKG home page seems to come up with 1000 cvs checkin
messages first for every search.
What i want to say ? Well, first, thanks for the hint. The table is
great (!) - i'm still trying to understand it, though :-) (*1*)
And second, it would be nice when the mailing lists could be searched
separately (or not at all).
And what about making the graphic in the beginning of the sysadmin article
(article.logo.png) a link to the OpenPKG home page ?
In any case, thanks for the help !
(mk)
(*1*) It is probably a good idea to search for "Table 2" and read the
Text. And probably "Config file magic" in
http://www.openpkg.org/doc/book/maximum-rpm.txt or
http://www.redhat.com/docs/books/max-rpm/max-rpm-html/ch-rpm-upgrade.html#S1-RPM-UPGRADE-WHAT-IT-DOES
PS: Does anybody know pointers, how people manage config files with CVS
in an environment, where machines often are similiar but rarely
identical ?
