And that's probably not the thing we want. I assume that there are more users who have it like me - that I prefer TDE, so I prefer TDE applications in the same way before their original upstream versions, which both would cause the installation of many unwanted dependencies and looked different from the rest of my desktop. > I would not surprised if some packages such as bibletime, which I never > have used, are getting crusty. > Some applications can be doubted whether they can work at all. For example, kldcdimmer requires a smartdimmer binary and I have no idea if any current distribution provides this binary. Maybe it allows to use another binary - maybe xbacklight, I don't know, I've never tried it. When I needed to set the display backlight, it was on a laptop, I use tdepowersave. Perhaps it could be interesting to have some overview of which applications are real use. > Anyway, for now all I am trying to accomplish is getting all 179 > packages to compile on Slackware. BTW, do you use Slackware Builds from Ray-V as a basis or is it a separate effort? This would look a bit impractical for three Slackware users I know to use three different ways of building - Ray-V, Simone Giustetti and you. Cheers Slávek --
