thanks - i hope you get home before sunday ;-)  lol

anyway: i tested some of my experiments with fox and everything works fine ... but i only tested elementar things i use from the fox toolkit, so this says nothing ... it needs better testing than only me, that0s why it is in [testing]

Re: [extra]: fox 1.2.11 -> 1.4.x

fox 1.4.2 was out and i started it compiling but then realized that:

fox 1.4.3 is out ... and this one is compiling atm

hope that 1.4.4. is not out in the next 3 hours, as this would be really crazy!

I sometimes use Xfe file manager, which uses fox 1.2 and *won't* compile with the 1.4. So, if that isn't too much to ask, please leave both versions of fox available, at least for some time.

Regards
Ognjen

what 1.4. do you tried ... there are in the meanwhile 1.4.0 1.4.1 1.4.2 1.4.3 out

i'll try to keep the old fox pkg in the repos as a file ... but hopefully not for long

Re: [extra]: fox 1.2.11 -> 1.4.x

you mean xfm from here:
http://www.musikwissenschaft.uni-mainz.de/~ag/xfm/
?

it is a dead project - last release in 2001

if we are able to find patches to make it work, it's ok, but if not ...

Re: [extra]: fox 1.2.11 -> 1.4.x

yes, xfe (not xfm) does not work with new libFOX. I could enjoy this program just for one day... sad

Is it possible to have two versions of libFOX installed?

I think I'm going to mess a system a little bit :S

the old version i will not remove from the servers, untill there is a solution - so all mirrors should have it hosting

e.g. here:

ftp://ftp.belnet.be/packages/archlinux/ … pkg.tar.gz

Re: [extra]: fox 1.2.11 -> 1.4.x

Can fxdesktopsetup be installed with the arch package of FOX?

I know FOX doesn't install this, but it would be nice if the package could install it. Its a little program in the tests directory to setup fonts and colors of FOX applications

Re: [extra]: fox 1.2.11 -> 1.4.x

I have a package for FXRuby here, which currently supports only FOX 1.2.X and lower. The new FOX packages broke my system. I know it's kinda late notice now, but I thought I'd throw this out there for posterity.
