emmanuel_uk Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 not following cooker but looking at mondo I learned that mandy 2007.1 was going to use cdrkit rather than cdrecord. A major difference worth knowing IMHO and not in the log of the official annoucement (might be clearer somewhere else mind you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artificial Intelligence Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Quite impressive that they now keep up to date KDE and Gnome at the same time and it seems they really want to do some affort on the rpmdrake application, thumbs up. Now, can they keep the bugs down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 They also have a nice package in here called libmotif3, which will enable me to run the native Lotus Notes 7 client on Linux. Because I couldn't get it running in 2007.0, so I can now test it in 2007.1 as I got it working in Ubuntu/Debian Etch/CentOS/RHEL/Gentoo and others. For others nothing major, but for me, devout Mandriva lover, I wanted Mandy 2007 working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 not following cooker but looking at mondo I learned thatmandy 2007.1 was going to use cdrkit rather than cdrecord. A major difference worth knowing IMHO and not in the log of the official annoucement (might be clearer somewhere else mind you) not really, it's only a minor difference. cdrkit is a recent fork of cdrecord by a debian dev afaik because of maintainer issues. Currently, there's no practical difference between them. It's also been adopted in many other distros rather than cdrecord. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmanuel_uk Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 worth knowing because the executable does not have the same name, so anything that uses cdrecord and is not "updated" will not work unless one add a soft link to wobin or whatever it is called (case for example of mondo) so yes a small fork, just worth publicising the potential problem during transition time (especially with home brewed compilation + install) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
