I am not sure when I will be able to return to creating rpms, so please someone with RedHat systems create rpms for 2.4.2.
Creating rpms is as trivial as running one make command once you setup the required environment, i.e. rpm-build installed, all devel libraries needed for building fvwm installed, and in case of old rpm-build on RH 6.x the user has permissions to write to /usr/src/redhat directory (newer rpm-build uses $HOME/redhat for this purpose). It is suggested that you use a stock RedHat 6.x and RedHat 7.x. You may use a non-stock system, but ensure that you don't have standard utilities like perl in /usr/local/bin or ~/bin, so resulting rpms work for all users not only on your system. Test your rpm on an other system. Here are the exact instructions: Install GTK+, ncurses, readline, libstroke rpms and their devel parts. Use rpms from http://fvwm-themes.sourceforge.net/rpm/support/ if needed. You should get support for all features except for gnome-libs, rplay and multibyte that are disabled (you may enable multibyte at your own risk). Get fvwm-2.4.2.tar.bz2 and unpack it. Alternativelly using cvs execute: cvs update -r version-2_4_2 If you have RH 6.1 or RH 6.2 system: * run: make rpm-dist release=1 * upload fvwm-2.4.2-1.i386.rpm and fvwm-2.4.2-1.src.rpm If you have RH 7.0 with updates for glibc and gcc or RH 7.1 system: * run: make rpm-dist release=1.rh7 * upload fvwm-2.4.2-1.rh7.i386.rpm Upload rpms (after testing that they work) to ftp://upload.sf.net/incoming . Unfortunately ftp port is closed now, so just upload to any place you can and notify Olivier and me about this. I prefer Olivier to do all the rest.
