Not anymore, I feel. The prospective Debian packaging of 0.9.1 is with the prospective sponsor, so hopefully in time for Sarge's release... > I am building the debian package on a debian Woody stable system and am going > to copy it over to a debian Sarge testing system. Wild. Any reason you're not building it on a testing system? I'd offer to do so, but my testing machine is also PowerPC, and so the packages probably aren't a lot of use to you. :-) > The freeradius I downloaded is: freeradius-snapshot-20030925 > > I found the instructions Paul H. wrote below along with his other post that > has the patch to take iodbc out of the main freeradius package.

I'm still fielding good reasons to include that patch in the main package. :-) There're concerns about package-list-bloat, and I've yet to come up with a convincing argument that overrides that. > When I run the command: > dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b -rfakeroot > > I get a list of missing build dependencies like I am supposed to. > > Here is the list I get: > dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libltdl3-dev, libpam0g-dev, > postgresql-dev, libgdbm-dev | libgdbmg1-dev, libldap2-dev, libsasl2-dev, > libiodbc2-dev, libkrb5-dev > > I do not plan to use kerberos, ldap,nor postgres and I'm not so sure that I > need libgdmg1 either.

The way I'd do it is remove those modules from the 'stable' file in src/modules or src/modules/rlm_sql/ depending on which modules they are. This step is basically optional, since it should skip that which it can't build. Then remove the entries for those things from debian/rules in the various 'for each' clauses. And remove the entries from the debian/control file. (ie. the opposite of the freeradius-iodbc patch you've already got. :-) Then remove the build-dependancies that trouble you so. You'll need that libltdl3-dev, however. No way around it except building statically, and I dunno what that does to the build-dependancies, or the rlm_sql and rlm_eap modules. -- ========================================================= Paul "TBBle" Hampson Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) [EMAIL PROTECTED] On a sidewalk near Portland State University someone wrote `Trust Jesus', and someone else wrote `But Cut the Cards'. --------------------------------------------------------- Random signature generator 3.0 by Paul "TBBle" Hampson ========================================================= - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
