Hi,

As the previous poster (at least what i've received) was a newbie
where, so am i too.

If someone has been/will be doing the logo-stuff - the rest should be
easier (my point of view :).

1) I don't see why these

bonobo-1.0.22-6.src.rpm           libglade-0.17-12.1.src.rpm
gal-0.23-1.src.rpm                libunicode-0.4-12.src.rpm
GConf-1.0.9-12.src.rpm            lynx-2.8.5-11.src.rpm
gnome-print-0.37-4.src.rpm        nasm-0.98.35-3.src.rpm
gnome-vfs-1.0.5-13.src.rpm        oaf-0.6.10-7.src.rpm
gtkhtml-1.1.9-0.9.src.rpm         perl-PDL-2.3.4-4.src.rpm
Gtk-Perl-0.7008-31.src.rpm        skkdic-20020724-1.src.rpm
libcapplet0-1.4.0.1-12.1.src.rpm


are in 'lostSRPMS'? Didn't compile? Those seems (quick look) be all
those which are bit tricky (needing some more packages to compile or
something else), but all are doable. Some of those might be even
versions that should have been compiled against older version of
software, but are fixable.

So if there is no other reason than 'don't compile again current set of
RPMS', it's pretty easy. I'll install the whitebox RC2 now in one
machine, so i have 'acceptable base' where to start building.

I think i'll do the IA64 'hard way' ie. startt from scratch from beta2
and build up to current with this set of SRPMS, so i'll see better if
there are some dependencies which aren't met when you leave out
copyrighted material.

Same for AMD64. There is one thing in AMD64, which i haven't been able
to resolve yet. How one sould be able to recompile gcc. The GNAT is
always failing regardless of my combinations of i386-stuff installed.
If someone knows, drop me a mail about it.
