Subject: ANNOUCNE: Unofficial COL 1.3 RPMs for testing


Spring break affords me some spare cycles....

      http://www.mecworks.com/software

I have built some RPMs for COL 1.3 systems for three packages:

	glib-1.2.0    Used by GTK+ (note that this is NOT glibc!
	              This is a set of optimized data handling routines
                      used by GTK+).  Needed to compile many GTK+
                      applications currently being developed, including
                      GNOME.

	gtk+-1.2.0    Gimp GUI tool kit. Needed to compile many gtk+
                      applications currently being developed, including
                      GNOME.

	apache-1.3.4  A modularized version of the Apache web server.
                      A lot of changes have gone into this package
                      compared to the original chipped with 1.3
                      so I's like some feedback on how it works or
                      doesn't.  I also added a devel package that
                      allows for developing and compiling 3rd party
                      modules.  This was unavailable in the Apache
                      RPM shipped with COL 1.3.

NOTE:  If you install the glib and gtk+ RPMS, you might uninstall the
glib/gtk+ currently installed which will cause gimp 1.0.2 to stop working.  
All you have to uninstall is the development packages. You can have the
old run-time libraries still installed concurrently with the new versions.  
This will allow running of gimp-1.0.2 while you can develop for newer
applications which require newer the new version of glib and gtk+.

Questions?  ask 'em.  Suggestions? send 'em.

Once the quirks are worked out of the packages, they will be placed in
Caldera's incoming directory and will eventually make it to the contrib
directory on Caldera's FTP site.

Thanks!
