-------------------------------------------------------------------
New Entry: Tue Apr 16 21:28:07 PDT 2002
New Entry: a/loadlin-1.6c-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to loadlin-1.6c. (Thanks Hans!)
New Entry: ap/mc-4.5.55-i386-3.tgz: Recompiled with different options that should get
New Entry: rid of most of the reported problems. Thanks to Georgi Chorbadzhiyski for
New Entry: helping out with this.
New Entry: xap/skipstone-0.8.1-i386-1.tgz: Added skipstone-0.8.1.
New Entry: extra/java2-runtime-environment/j2re-1.4.0-i486-1.tgz: Added a symlink

New Entry: ----------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------
New Entry: Mon Apr 15 23:47:55 PDT 2002
New Entry: a/dcron-2.3.3-i386-4.tgz: Modified root's crontab to run package cron scripts
New Entry: in /etc/cron.{daily,hourly,monthly,weekly} with the run-parts script that
New Entry: was added to the bin package yesterday. (these cron directories are required
New Entry: by the LSB) Note that upgrading the dcron package will not replace root's
New Entry: crontab unless it is deleted manually first.
New Entry: a/devs-2.3.1-i386-3.tgz: Updated /dev/fb* devices to use the new numbering
New Entry: standard.
New Entry: a/logrotate-3.6.3-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to logrotate-3.6.3. Added a daily
New Entry: cron script in /etc/cron.daily instead of running logrotate directly from
New Entry: root's crontab.
New Entry: a/shadow-19990827-i386-6.tgz: Fixed config file replacement script.
New Entry: a/slocate-2.6-i386-2.tgz: Added an slocate cron script in /etc/cron.daily.
New Entry: ap/vim-6.1-i386-2.tgz: Recompile with --with-features=huge. Thanks again
New Entry: to Naresh Donti for the tip. Since we were recompiling anyway, the
New Entry: latest patches from ftp.vim.org were also applied.
New Entry: kde/qt-3.0.3-i386-2.tgz: Corrected a couple of minor bugs in the
New Entry: /etc/profile.d/ scripts. When using qt.sh, ':' should not be added to the
New Entry: end of $CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH. Use QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-3.0.3 if found, otherwise
New Entry: fall back to QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt. This prevents some runtime warnings.
New Entry: n/lftp-2.5.0a-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled adding --with-modules.
New Entry: n/lynx-2.8.4-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled adding --with-ssl --enable-color-style
New Entry: --enable-prettysrc --enable-source-cache --enable-nsl-fork
New Entry: Thanks to Frédéric L. W. Meunier for the lftp and lynx suggestions.
New Entry: xap/xvim-6.1-i386-2.tgz: Recompiled with latest patches and
New Entry: --with-features=huge.
New Entry: extra/java2-runtime-environment/j2re-1.4.0-i486-1.tgz: Added a package
New Entry: containing Sun's Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment.
New Entry: ----------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------
New Entry: Sun Apr 14 21:29:14 PDT 2002
New Entry: a/bin-8.2.1-i386-4.tgz: Added run-parts script and manpage.

New Entry: gnome/nautilus-1.0.6-i386-2.tgz: Added a patch that prevents spawning around
New Entry: 50 zombie shell processes when 'help' is used. This is caused by nautilus
New Entry: trying to use a feature that will be present in a future scrollkeeper version,
New Entry: but that isn't there yet. Thanks to Naresh Donti for the bug report.
New Entry: extra/rp-pppoe-3.3/rp-pppoe-3.3-i386-1.tgz: Added rp-pppoe-3.3.
New Entry: ----------------------------

New Entry: Hey folks, here is the long awaited update to GNOME. I think you'll find it was
New Entry: worth the wait while these were tweaked (and retweaked :) to get everything just
New Entry: exactly perfect. This GNOME build is based on stable GNOME 1.4.1, and nearly

New Entry: Restart /sbin/init after installing the new binary, so that the system can
New Entry: unmount its drives at the next shutdown/reboot.

New Entry: when using SMB volumes with PCMCIA network cards. (thanks Nathan England)
New Entry: In rc.6, clear /var/lock/subsys. (thanks Jeff Adams)
New Entry: Change gdm path in rc.4 to /usr/bin/gdm.
