Basically, the way I see it is: - Contribs: someone thought it might be useful and put it there so other people can use it, but if it breaks, blame the packager ;-) - Unsupported: if it breaks, it's our fault, but we can't do much about it, we provide this software because we tought it would be useful but can't spend too much time on it. - Cooker: if it breaks, it's our fault, but we told you it could break your system! ;-) however we'll do our best to fix it, and your feedback is definitely important so that we can fix the bugs and have something stable for the official release. - Official Release: it has to be stable, if it breaks, it's our fault, we care about it, and we'll put all our ressources to fix it, and provide support for it. So you are free to download stuff in Contribs, or in Unsupported, to report bugs, but remember, after all, this is the *Cooker* list. If there is a conflict between Contribs and Cooker, the Cooker version is the only important one... I hope this clears some confusion ;-) Jean-Michel > On Thursday 05 September 2002 05:01 am, Jean-Michel Dault wrote: > > *Don't* upgrade to libgd2, it's in the *contribs*, so it's not > > supported. > > > > The official version in cooker is 1.8. > > > > Jean-Michel > > > > Le jeu 05/09/2002 � 03:44, Fabrice MARIE a �crit : > > > Hello, > > > while trying to upgrade my cooker this morning, I got the message : > > > Installation failed: > > > libgd1.8 >= 1.8.4 is needed by php-gd-4.2.2-1mdk > > > libgd.so.1 is needed by php-gd-4.2.2-1mdk > > > > > > supposedly cause by the attempted upgrade > > > -> libgd2-2.0.1-2mdk.i586.rpm > > > > > > # rpm -q libgd1 php-gd > > > libgd1-1.8.4-7plf > > > php-gd-4.2.2-1mdk > > > > > > Have a nice day, > > > > > > Fabrice. > > > -- > > > Fabrice MARIE > > > Senior R&D Engineer > > > Celestix Networks > > > http://www.celestix.com/ > > > > > > "Silly hacker, root is for administrators" > > > -Unknown > >
