What is needed for 5.5 compatible development is a RedHat 7.2 server running the 2.2.19-7.0.8 kernel from RedHat 7.0. For most things, the kernel which is running doesn't matter. Samba RPM building is one thing where the version does matter, as the samba configuration script determines various compile time settings by probing the features of the currently running system. For perl development and RPM building (for instance, for doing stuff with configuration templates, web panels and action scripts), development can be done on an SME server. -- Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lead Product Developer Network Server Solutions Group http://www.e-smith.com/ Mitel Networks Corporation http://www.mitel.com/ Phone: +1 (613) 592 5660 or 592 2122 Fax: +1 (613) 592 1175 -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
