I have had messages from a number of people who couldn't find the
diald-0.16.5a-1 rpms with the dctrl fix (the missing dctrl patch from
diald-0.16-4 has been restored).
here are the locations (I've verified them):
source rpm:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/manhattan/src/diald-0.16.5a-1.i386.rpm
i386 binary rpm (for RedHat 5.x - glibc):
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/manhattan/i386/diald-0.16.5a-1.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/manhattan/i386/diald-config-0.15.5a-1.i386.rpm
(you will also find it on mirrors such as
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/contrib/manhattan/.....
The source rpm will probably rebuild on RedHat 4.2 if some 4.2 user
would like to do this and upload to redhat
(anonymous ftp to incoming.redhat.com )
>From what I hear, the patch is working. Let me know if there are
still dctrl problems. I tried to contact Eric Schenk to ask him
to release an "official" diald-0.16 "5a" patch ( patch 5 + the
dctrl patch from patch 4), but haven't had any response. My suspicion
is that diald is no longer being actively maintained(?). Maybe
someone else should look into taking over if Eric is too busy?
(not me, I'm a packager and user, not a programmer).
