I released version 1.2 of the Developer Environment.
This version fixes a couple of issues that showed up once other people started
to use it. The main issue is with the installer
and libsmooth. Due to a misunderstanding on my part about how the dependency
between these two worked when I originally created
the environment, I was building the installer with the released version of
libsmooth rather than my patched one. The released version
leaves the settings files with the wrong ownership which breaks configuration
from the Web GUI.
The other fix was to allow build-pkgs to be run multiple times. The problem is
that if you build the gd package with the X11 devel
packages installed it adds a dependency to the X11 runtime. But the X11 runtime
isn't installed on non development system so the
installer would fail installing packages. This has now been fixed by
uninstalling all the packages built by previous runs of build-pkgs
whenever you start a new one.
NOTE: Once you have successfully run build-pkgs to completion there should be
no need to run it again.
One final note, I mirrored the SRPM archives from SourceForge to my GForge
site. I did this because downloads from SourceForge
were taking way too long 2.5 hours for the initial package of SRPMS.
SourceForge seems to have lost most of its mirror sites and the
ones that are left are being overused. There are now NO mirrors at all in the
entire United States. I'm not sure what they did but they
seemed to have pissed off a bunch of their supporters.

| | Subject: EFW Developer Environment Released
|
| | I've finished the first release of the Developer Environment for
| | Endian Firewall Community version 2.5.1.
|
| | I created a project for it on my gforge site:
| | http://gforge.opensource-sw.net/gf/project/efw-devel.
|
| | There is a single tar file to download from the Files section.
|
| | efw-devel-1.0.tar.gz
|
| | The instructions for installing it are:
|
| | First install the released version of EFW using Gateway for the RED
| | zone. Enable SSH and connect to the server.
|
| | On the newly installed developer machine, run the following
| | commands:
|
| | 1) efw-upgrade (select 2 Development)
|
| | 2) curl -O
| |
http://gforge.opensource-sw.net/gf/download/frsrelease/29/130/efw-devel-1.0.tar.gz
|
| | 3) tar -C /var -xf efw-devel.tar.gz
|
| | 4) pushd /var/efw-devel
|
| | 5) ./retrieve-srpms
|
| | 6 ) pop d
|
| | 7) /var/efw-devel/setup-devel
|
| | 8) /var/efw-devel/build-pkgs
|
| | 9) /var/efw-devel/build-iso /var/tmp/efw.iso
|
| | You should now have a new iso image suitable for installing.
|
| | You can also browse the source for EFW in the vendor directory of
| | the
| | SVN section of the project. I unpacked
|
| | all the SRPMS so you can view the spec files and patches directly.
| | For the packages that are specific to EFW, I
|
| | also expanded the source TARs and applied the patches so you can
| | view
| | the actual source code without downloading
|
| | and installing the SRPMs.
|
| | The changes I had to make to the SRPMs, to get them to build, are
| | in
| | the trunk directory in SVN.
|
| | Currently the documentation is the shell script files themselves
| | :-)
