Why Should I Still Not Install These Already As Stable Declared Tarballs? | |||||
Package | Version | Purpose | Hints | ||
1. | gfloppy | 0.9.2 | Has been part of the gnome-utils until version 1.2.0 and seemed to be erased in versions 1.3.x. Note: this autonomous tarball is very old! |
![]() |
|
2. | gnome-common | 0.6 | Library haven't been missed. |
![]() |
|
3. | gnome-crash | 0.0.5 | Too early version of a new bug-report-system? |
![]() |
|
4. | gnome-hack | 1.0.1 | A GNOME-Port of Nethack, a very old and really simple role playing game. (many thanks to Jens Fisseler for these explanations) |
![]() |
|
5. | gnome-linuxconf | 0.22 |
The version offered by GNOME is to old. And it requires
linuxconf.
From that a little bit confused page you can also reach the really latest valid version (0.65) of
gnome-linuxconf.
For reaching it starting at the top homepage use its' «download link of linuxconf »
instead of the «link last-modules / gnome-linuxconf». But the latest version still doesn't compile, because without having added all nescessary aclocal macros its' developers use «autogen.sh» instead of «configure, make make install» . So you can neither set the $INSTPATH correctly nor compile it using the defaultly set INSTPATH. |

6. | googlizer | 0.1 | To early even for GNOME 1.4 |
![]() |
|
7. | g-print | 0.2 | Obsolete library being replaced by gnome-print |
![]() |
|
8. | libPropList | 0.8.3 | Addon for elder versions of Windowmaker, but in the last versions of WindowMaker, libproplist is no more needed. Therefore it's no more nescessary for GNOME. |
![]() |
|
9. | medusa | 0.5.0 | Find Daemon (not strongly) required by Nautilus of GNOME 1.4 (which has evoked the last delay of publishing the GNOME 1.4 release) |
![]() |
|
10. | xml-i18n-tools | 0.8 | Developer script for adding the internationalization: normally not needed by a totally prepared tarball |
