[Frugalware-devel] a few news, partly for the newsletter

[VMiklos]

hi,

1) gcjwebplugin

as of gcc-4.2.0-3, there is a usable mozilla java plugin based on gcj.
this is very useful where the binary one is not available (ie.: x86_64)

documentation:

http://frugalware.org/docs/packages.html#toc28

2) pacman-tools-0.9.3

a) fwmakepkg manpage. this is a new manpage and it's dynamically
generated: it lists all the foo.sh manpages. i think this can be very
useful for new developers

b) repoman: support for nobuild apps

till now the recommended method for nobuild apps was to use 'dr push'
only. now the nobuild apps are also handled on the homepage, and the
normal 'repoman push' skips all the steps which are not necessary for
nobuild apps, so please do use repoman push for nobuild apps, too,
otherwise they won't show up when searching on the webpage

in fact this was the main reason for implementing this - we regularly
get requests to package skype, opera, etc beause users can't find it
when searching for packages on the homepage
