it sure seems like there should be a way for an activity to specify a yum'able rpm, and have the system make sure that's installed, along with any secondary dependencies. seems preferable to having activities drag along possibly redundant, or obsolete, copies of libraries. i guess the activity would need to suggest apt-get'able names as well, for non-fedora-based installations. as an example, older versions of RoadMap used to include libexpat because i think it wasn't in 656. i happened to notice that it was included in later releases, so i dropped it from the activity bundle, but if i hadn't noticed, it would have been a complete waste of space, on disk, and possibly in memory. (actually, i'm not sure how the loader deals with conflicting library versions -- could it perhaps even cause a conflict? not sure about that.) [ hmmm. all this begs the question: what happens to activities when someone ports sugar to an incompatible architecture: a bsd variant, macos, or even non-x86 linux. binary activities (and certainly any libraries they bring along) will cease working -- do we have an versioning mechanism to keep things sane in that scenario? ] paul > > - Bert - > > Am 20.10.2008 um 15:20 schrieb Brian Jordan: > > > How should dependencies like TuxType's be handled? > > > > (found list at http://sophie.zarb.org/rpm/Momonga,4,x86_64/tuxtype/deps > > ) > > > > Thanks > > Brian > > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > > From: David Bruce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Date: Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 7:39 AM > > Subject: [Activities] Tux Typing on OLPC XO > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > Hello, > > > > I maintain two of the Tux4Kids apps, Tux Typing and TuxMath.
