yes... but i think there is a good service that can be provided
if we can list which version of which cad apps runns under which
particular distro
- <fact> just because foo-x.y.z.rpm runs on distro-x.y does NOT mean
it will run on the current distro </fact>
- and its such a pain to get it all right...
- usual solution is
- dowload all the lastest patches
- get the lastest of everything from the original sources
( everything that is broken )
and yes.. thats a lot of work to keep track of versions :-)
