Thanks deadwood, now I can finally update and deploy AROS One

[Argo]

Nice, Thanks for all the hard work Deadwood
plus Kalamatee, Schulz, Neil, Mazze, DizzyOfCRN, Paolone, o1i, balaton, polluks, mmartinka, Kalamatee

Now to resurrect my AROS box and try it out

[AMIGASYSTEM]

deadwood, I don't know if it matters, but some MCC libraries are obsolete for some programs like IconEditor.

What do you mean? Are there newer versions that are on Aminet/AROS-Archives which are not included in the ISO?

[Amiwell]

thank you deadwood

Yes
MCC_TextEditor-15.55 -> http://aminet.net/package/dev/mui/MCC_TextEditor-15.55
MCC_NList-0.127 -> http://aminet.net/package/dev/mui/MCC_NList-0.127

MCC_TheBar-26.21 -> http://aminet.net/package/dev/mui/MCC_TheBar-26.21

[deadwood]

@AMIGASYSTEM

Ok, keep using the Aminet versions then as a workaround. I don't know if I will find time to update them in the AROS repository. You can also ask Mazze - he has been doing that in past.

No worry deadwood it's not so important, there are few applications that use them, i just wanted to report it maybe someone could be interested.

[paolone]

Many, many thanks for all your efforts and great to see this goal reached for ABIv0 AROS.


I will include the new files in Icaros Desktop. Kind regards.

[OlafS3]

really long list...

thanks to all involved

[nikos]

Great work Deadwood!

Thanks for updating the AROS version people can enjoy on i386

[trekiej]

Now there is an LTS Distribution.
