I hope this is the correct place to make this request. If not, please advise me of a better path.
I needed to install the application recoll on CentOS 6. There is no recoll package in the CentOS, RPMForge nor ELEL repositories. I would like to report that I was able to rebuild the Fedora 14 recoll package and install the resulting binary successfully on CentOS 6 64 bit. Here are the details: 1 - Built a "developer workstation" in VMWare 2 - Configured it to build rpm packages 3 - Downloaded recoll-1.15.8-2.fc14.src.rpm and attempted to build it 4 - Chased down a couple of missing pieces ( yum --enablerepo=epel install aspell-devel xapian-core-devel) 5 - Ran the rpmbuild again and it completed successfully 6 - Copied the newly built rpm (recoll-1.15.8-2.el6.x86_64.rpm) to another CentOS 6 - 64 bit VM 7 - Installed the new rpm - no errors nor warnings 8 - Ran my tests on recoll - IT WORKS LIKE A CHAMP!!! Please consider having this package rebuilt and added to the EPEL repository. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist in this effort. Thanks, Ken Taylor p.s. I have installed the Fedora 13 recoll package directly on CentOS 6 32 bit. I believe that it or the Fedora 14 recoll package could also be rebuilt and added to the EPEL repository. Please advise if I should go through the above process with CentOS 6 32 bit to confirm. _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
