SuSE Linux: Version 5.3
For various reasons several software packages or special versions of a package could not be included in the S.u.S.E. Linux distribution or were not integrated into the system. Usually S.u.S.E is conservative with basic components and important programs : Such software will only be included into the system when it prooved to be reliable in our internal tests.
Nevertheless we sometimes deliver the sources of such programs with the distribution.
These can be found on the first CD in the directory .../unsorted
.
Sometimes there is not enough time to renew every package. This is especially true if there were only minor changes (which can of course be very important in the individual case). If we've forgotten something then we're always glad about feedback. Send it to feedback@suse.de .
It sometimes happens that short time before our deadline a new version is released. It is then impossible to let it pass our test cycle.
Here is a couple of more detailed remarks :
In short : When talking of stability and fitness for every day usage, the "team" GCC 2.7.2.x and
libc5
by far outrules the newer versions.
Nevertheless users of S.u.S.E. Linux don't need to live without programs, that
are linked with glibc. It is possible to execute these programs with S.u.S.E. Linux -
for this purpose we made available a package shlibs6
as well as a special
version of ldso
.
A pretest version of teTeX-0.9 based on web2c-7.2 is also available via ftp. Please, note that this is not a final release. I have made this available to get bugfixes and binaries for platforms I don't have access to. If you are not familiar with debugging problems, please wait for the final version. The main new features of the new release will be: pdftex (0.12), xdvi (xdvi(k) 20c) and dvips (dvips(k) 5.78) with hypertex support, e-TeX (version 2.0).This statement is also available from http://tug.org/teTeX/
