Looking at these rpm's. Don't they seem potentialy very dangerous for
the average user with gnome 1.4 installed, and has no advanced knowledge?
Forinstance, you have to rpm -ivh GConf-1.1.6, however you need to rpm
-Uvh GConf-devel-1.1.6.
(or rpm -e GConf-devel, and rpm -ivh both).
Not doing so, removes libgconf-1.so.1, which in turn breaks gnome-vfs,
nautilus, gthumb, control-center, galeon, eel, bonobo-conf, etc etc ...
The same is true for a few other packages... I am just very much afraid
an beginning user will do a
rpm -[U | i]vh *.rpm --force
And end up with a severely broken (non functioning) system! (and as we
hopefully already realise, given the option of forcing installs, they
will when they dispair when they cant do it the-right-way, we all have
been there right?).
All in all, a very good start (and big thnx for all the huge effort!)
however, to put them on the public gnome server already? Not sure if
thats to smart yet ;-/
