I've started a cleanup project on my (our) last SGI (Hostname: Saiph  Type: o2). I perhaps foolishing installed all of Nekoware back in 2008 or so and now I want to remove unneeded software, update software that can and should be updated. So I'm going keep some notes/observations here and ask for help when I hit tricky bits...

Today I removed (using Software Manager). I'm edit this lit as I move through it all.

Removed (No Issues):

Evolution 2.4
Gaim (and neko_guification)
dovecot 1.0.2
bash 3.1
autoconf 2.60
automake 1.11.1
apache 1.3.37
tiff 3.8.2  ->>>> Breaks Xfe, Evince, GIMP tiff support, Povray even with tiff 4.0.3 installed.
stella 1.4.2
window maker (and -extra)
e16 Enlightenment
Bochs
JBoss
BitchX

Removed With dependents

Php 5.2 removal forces nessus removal  and pdflib  (as well oggvorbis wrapper). I can live with out Nessus it would be so out of date and I have OpenVas on more then 1 other server)
tiff 3.8.2  ->>>> Breaks Xfe, Evince, GIMP (tiff support), Povray even with tiff 4.0.3 installed.  neko_tiff in obsolete is 3.8 so I will restore it.

Oddities:

Package: "My Product" as it appears in SWMG is actually "Paraview" from the Nekoware package. Anyone know anything about paraview? It's looks interesting ut it's a shame the Package naming is just flat out wrong.



Upgrade Goals:  (My List of Nekoware that I really want newer versions of installed via what clean method possible)

Python 2.4 -> 2.7 last
Perl 5.8 -> 5.12+ would be nice
Python 3.1 -> 3.4+ (32bit limit?)
openssl 0.9.8 -> something useable in the 1. series
bash 4.2 -> Bash 4.4 or 5.0
