OK, here is a more credible list of offenders. Several critical packages are affected. I already filed patches for gnumeric and evolution, so those you don't need to worry about (I listed them for completeness below). List of all other affected packages: dia gnome-iconedit gnome-media gnumeric libgda2 libgnomedb libgsm libtk-perl metacity-setup rep-gtk vlc libgtk-perl looks to be in particularly bad shape. Perhaps nobody cares about that one. libgda2, libgnomedb, metacity-setup, rep-gtk seem fairly fundamental, on the other hand. --david --- Here is the detailed output: checking dia.log...

Re: Differences between default Gnome and Fedora

Fedora 1 used a newer version of GNOME, which was made a bit different from the latter version.

Differences between default Gnome and Fedora
by Steven Garrity 04 Jan '04

04 Jan '04

I've been wondering about what Fedora does differently in the Gnome desktop than default Gnome. I'm not in a position to be able to easily install both to compare (I just have Fedora Core 1 installed). I'm wondering what differences there are - and why. I would like to see some discussion as to the value of each/any differences - is it worth keeping different - and if so, is it worth looking at upstreaming to Gnome. I'm thinking of stuff like the dock/quicklaunch area and the fedora/start menu, etc. Thanks, Steven Garrity
