The obsoletes is to fix bug 69832; xjed is no longer shipped as it wasn't really something we wanted to support going forwards (we have other GUI editors.) <flame> Pray, I use Linux since just 6 year, and I may have missed something. Which of the "other GUI editors" that "you have": - has Emacs key bindings, - has syntax highlight, - starts in nearly zero time even on a K6/200, - is usable trough a slow ssh/X11 tunnel, - does not need a bunch of Gnome/KDE/OtherBloat libraries - has a reasonable memory(2M) and disk(~210K) footprint - does not suffer from funny 'DEL' mappings like jed in an xterm ??? Am I missing something ? Am I supposed to run RH8 only on a 2GHz PentumIV ? Sorry, but I consider this a REAL bug - one more step towards making RH unusable for me, and other people like me, who value speed and remote access more than cute icons. BTW, for those who still depend on it, the patch is so simple - just put back a -with-x in the %configure, and a make xjed in the %build, few more lines in install. I'll post the .spec next time I start up RH8 - in a few months, maybe. </flame> xjed is a code editor and not for to write letters or documents. |
