Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Issues with LBE

[Evan H. <eh...@gm...>]

Ragnar-
   You are half right. I have an older install of the 4.1 LBE that I
has all the pacakges already down and it works great. I just did a
clean install of LBE 4.1 and have found at least 4 tarballs that are
no longer LBE thinks they are supposed and one that (Xorg) has changed
 the way it distrbiutes tarballs and teh relesae number (6.7 > 6.8.2).
For Developers wotking on the new version of LTSP the CVS current is
great and up-to-date. For us user's needing the LBE for the 4.1
release of LTSP this causes problems when we need to use it for
building things like local apps that may depend on core libs. that
change between the 4.1 release and the most current state of CVS.
    My perspective on this is going to be a bit different than that of
an LTSP developer, as I am an end-user. Currently I am trying to build
some useful documentaion for the LBE, just finishing off revision 0.2,
but I do not have the extra time to take on active development. So a
guarentee of stability and usability in the LBE for a given official
release of LTSP, even if it is just for the current stable release
would a very helpful.

P.S.>> I attached the current state of my LBE_Usage notes. I have
rewritten if in docbook and update some of the mistakes in the first
version. I'll see about posting a new tex version to the Wiki when I
figure out how to get docbook to dump back to text.
