I, too, have been lax when it comes to reporting stable software in the unstable tree. I also have unstable added to my configuration. I'll just say what I did if anyone wants to try this way, too. It was a bit faster than going through the website, that's for sure. It probably has missed a

[Fink-users] ppower4 feedback

2002-03-16 Thread Jens Nockel
A while ago, I installed ppower4 - and I have two comments: 1) when I first tried it, ppower4 didn't work because it actually requires foiltex to be installed as well (the documentclass foils has to be defined). So this is a dependency that should be added. 2) I use the newest MacOSX version of

Guilty. I am one of those people. I guess I'm stupid. I'd got the idea in my head that unstable meant that they were unstable and they were still a work in progress, rather than what seems to be the case which is, we believe it's stable and would like feedback to confirm our belief so that

[Fink-users] funny terminal behavior in multiple programs

2002-03-16 Thread Christopher League
I'm seeing funny behavior which lasts across invocations of multiple programs that (I believe) use ncurses. It occurs in both xterm and gnome-terminal with TERM=xterm, but disappears if I set TERM=vt100. Here is an example: I start emacs, and somehow fill my screen with text (C-h i, for example)

I have Mozilla 9.8 running just fine under a variety of window managers. I updated to 9.9-1 but it won't start (I even deleted the .mozilla directory in my home to remove old settings). It simply states illegal instruction and never starts. I removed it and reinstalled 9.8 which works fine. Ha
