On IRC this morning, the discussion of Afterstep in Aurora came up, and even though Red Hat Linux does not include Afterstep anymore, it is a very useful lightweight window manager (that I've used successfully in the past) that would be useful for sparc32, so I'm planning to include it in the next Aurora build. Since I'm working through the build process for the next Aurora build (RHL 9 based), now is your time to suggest packages to be added to the Aurora build that are not found in Red Hat Linux 9. Note: The following packages will NOT be included in the official tree: apt, apt-rpm, yum, yup, or any similar application. Requests for newer revisions of applications may be considered, but you will need to rationalize them. "Its newer" is not rationalization. So now is your chance. Speak now, or forever hold your piece. ;) ~spot --- Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa(a)redhat*com> SAIR LCA, RHCE Red Hat Enterprise Architect :: http://www.redhat.com Project Leader for Aurora Sparc Linux :: http://auroralinux.org GPG: D786 8B22 D9DB 1F8B 4AB7 448E 3C5E 99AD 9305 4260 The words and opinions reflected in this message do not necessarily reflect those of my employer, Red Hat, and belong solely to me.
