rawhide RPMS
by darkprok on Thursday 12/Apr/2001, @03:17

Several other packages?
I installed the rawhide binary RPM packages for kde 2.1.1 on my redhat7. It took a whole day. When I got all of the kde and all the packages it depends on I noticed I had downloaded about 86,876K. And the installation was not easy at all. I had to install quite a few new libraries. However many applications on my box depend on <b>the old</b> versions of those libs (notably openssl, openldap). My box runs apache and sendmail and I didn't want to take any chances and break something just to get the latest update of my favourite desktop environment. Although I was finally able to resolve all conflicts I'm not sure if I want to go through that procedure again in a few weeks when kde 2.2 is released.
