Bugzilla – Bug 147008
graphviz outdated
Last modified: 2008-07-08 09:24:49 UTC
Hello, the graphviz packages with SuSE are much outdated. While SuSE still includes the 2.2 Version, there is 2.6 already. 2.6 has fixed lots of bugs and has improved much over the time. greets Dennis
I'll do the update, but for SUSE Linux 10.1 it's far too late to do so.
mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)
Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED. In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
Really I understand why noone is reporting bugs anymore...
To remind me to do the update, I'm reopening.
Which version of graphviz are you talking about? 11.0 has 2.18 which is only two versions behind, the current being 2.20.
> Which version of graphviz are you talking about? 11.0 has 2.18 which is only two versions behind, the current being 2.20. Oh yeah sorry to open this ticket, for the next I will wait 2 and a half years before saying anything. Really whats up with you people? Waiting over 2 years and then telling "hey, why have you openened this ticket, the bug is fixed already for a year now and we are using almost the latest version!". What about "whoops, this took a bit long, in the meantime we have upgraded to X fixing Y, does it solve this for you? We will close this bug since version 2.18 was the one being the the latest when 11.0 was tied together, reopen it if you see a reason why a switch to 2.20 is useful" ? Sorry if this is sounding somewhat rude, but this is really pissing me of and is happening more and more in the oss community in the last years... But back to the serious part, I am always compiling my own graphviz since january 2006, so I personally do not care about it, but when someone puts together a late beta or rcX of 11.1 then they should consider looking at the package again if it has been updated, its always quite stable and mature (the same btw. also for lots of other packages of generally good quality software).
Closing as fixed since now we are much newer than 2.2......
First of all sorry that this fell through the cracks. Then I didn't see that this bug had been opened originally for 10.0 that's why I mentioned openSUSE 11.0. All versions after 2.18 came too late for openSUSE 11.0 but I've just checked in 2.20 to factory and because as maintainer of the graphviz package I'm getting notified when new versions of graphviz are released, I try to have the latest possible version in openSUSE.
*thumbs up*
OK, finally closing then.
