2002-09-19 Thread Brian Schott
Max, You are right. I stand corrected. Nevertheless, I'm suggesting that we should consider pre-building unstable binaries to broaden the base of unstable testers. If bandwidth to dl.sourceforge.net is an issue, then we might consider utilizing the Debian mirror structure. Another distributio

I've been down this same road with fink failing when it does a patch. I traced it down for the packages it died on to a file it was trying to patch but the file no longer existed. I'm not sure if this is your problem or not but the result was the same. I had to reboot the entire system every ti

2002-09-19 Thread Brian Schott
I agree we could use a binary unstable distribution like Debian. Any chance we could merge back with Debian and leverage their auto-build and mirror mechanisms? They have a few fledgling efforts on their web page for other kernels (GNU Hurd, FreeBSD, NetBSD). It would eliminate the periodic bu

Hmm, finally the problem is not yet solved. I just had a new crash a few minutes ago when compiling kdeveloper, (using the /sw/bin/patch). So this problem is still sometimes there. Very unclear ! Vincent. -- --- Vincent BOUDON Labora
