On further trying, the same is true for libglade (ps, no -devel?).
Also, gnome-vfs.
And if you do do rpm -ivh gnome-vfs-1.9.4, it has a file conflict with
/usr/share/man/man5/gnome-vfs-mime.5.gz
gnome-vfs-devel, ofcource has to be -Uvh'd again.
It might be smart to take a cue / clue from redhat (rawhide or
gnomehide) here, and rename all those conflicting libraries to ....2 ?
(GConf2, gnome-vfs2, libglade2, etc).
This would save us, and all users willing to try these packages out, a
LOT of headaches.
Another problem that will occur btw, in this '-ivh base lib and posibly
-Uvh devel lib), is that users will not be able to compile gnome 1.x
apps anymore... which kinda ruins the whole parallel gnome 1 / 2 setup
that people are aiming for.

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 ;-/
