no, don't except anything, just started to work on it. a few infos:

• you need m162 to apply the ooo-build patches, but in that milestone the "fpicker module dependency" is missing, but it is already fixed in upstream. so let's start to make a patch
• you need to download the cvs: cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.services.openoffice.org:/cvs co -r SRC680_m162 OpenOffice
• then find the last change to the critical file: cvs diff -r 1.6 -u automation/prj/build.lst
• using this patch, the build is still running atm :)

OSDir made a screenshot tour using 0.4rc1.

Slack Addict published an interview before releasing 0.4.

Finally Wikinews published a short interview right after 0.4 had been released.

That's all :)

lgee proposed to hold a small "real life" announcement party for developers after 0.4 is released. so yesterday, one day after the release, five of the Hungarian devs met each other :)

janny made some shots, you can look at them here.

who is who: ironiq (on the right side), janny (on the left side), vmiklos, voroskoi and lgee.

making a stable release of Frugalware is getting more and more complex, so i've started to documente it. you can find the first draft here

it took a few (2-3 days?) but i've now finished the Upgrade: 0.3->0.4 howto. DNAku was so kind that he has written a script to automate the procedure. you can find it at the bottom of the wiki page :)

maybe others are interested in #240, too, now we have a Firefox search plugin for packages, you can install it from the packages page.

we were requested to provide a freenx package. in fact, this was not too easy. after ~3 days of work, now nx-x11, nxproxy and freenx has been uploaded. finding a working opensource client was a bit difficult and 90% of the howtos recommend the binary crap, but finally knx has been uploaded. thanks crazy for the hint about the knx package

ps: yes, i plan to write a howto on this topic, hopefully i'll have time to do so on the next week. till now here is a screenshot :)

since we include ada/gnat in our gcc package, it's a bit tricky to build it for the first time, so i've written a wiki page about this. also the x86_64 packages for gcc-4.1 are ready, too.

today's task is to build gcc using ccache. it is not done automatically as gcc uses xgcc for most of the time, but there is a moslty usable howto available. ok, the log is nice, ccache is used, but the compiler cache is empty... so still need to figure out what's happening :/

update: dunno what was wrong, but on the buildserver it works fine! :) update2: now the i686 packages are available

ok, rc1 is out so let's do something earth-breaking ;)

bumped lua to 5.1. 3 patches were needed: 1, 2 (ok, one is Frugalware-specific)

as a first step the elinks patch has been submitted.
