Yelp has just released version 2.9 - I believe - with access to info
and
man included, but I read that the final fix would be Yelp version
2.10,
that would be included with Gnome 2.10 which would only be included
with
Fedora Core 4. Is this not true?
I was trying to ask in short form, if these two things in particular would be fixed in Core 4 and/or are they fully fixed now and can I
apply
them to Core 3 without too much difficulty.
Bill -
have you tried perhaps giving a hand at building your own RPMs? If you've never done this before, it can be quite a daunting task
I accept your challenge. If I can get a bit of help from the list. I have the RedHat Maximum RMP manual plus all the normal man etc. If there is a particularly good site for learning (tutorials?) how to make rpm's that information would be helpful.
After that, perhaps you can make the packages available to those who are in the same position as you.
Yea, if I can get others to risk trying it.
If all else fails, I suppose you'd still ahve the experneice and knowledge on how to do something like this in the future. I'm sorry that I cannot be of more help.
Thanks -dant
Would the Yelp 2.9.whatever be the easiest. It should already have all the parts in place?? Doesn't the Xemacs bug thing need a fix and recompilation first?
Regards Bill
What the hell, I'll give it a shot. I've got a box running FC2, but I often test new installs inside of VMWare, so you're welcome to use that. I'll just make a vanilla install for you to play with if you'd like.
The idea would be that you would fix the bugs, then create an rpm out of that fixed code. You can deliver it as a src.rpm, or as an {arch}.rpm.
I'll try to help you out, but it's been a while since I've done this.
Thanks -dant
