I do have everything to get Freemind 0.8.1 working on Centos. I had to pull together a number of pieces for that. Of course, who wants Freemind... But I have been working very hard of late on HIPL (HIP for Linux), doing the Centos testing for the HIPL team. Just need a place to put them. I would really like to get the IPsec BEET mode patch working in the 2.6.18 kernel already. A large part of installing FC10 was to get BEET 'native' in the 2.6.27 kernel. I figure if I can show HIPL working in FC10, I can get a bug report into Redhat to get the BEET patch included in 2.6.18. This will probably take me a couple months to pull off. Along the way, I am working on getting the BEET Internet Draft finished as an RFC, and moving the HIP RFCs from Experimental to Standards track (this will probably take 6 months). Along the way, I am finding ALL sorts of challenges. Particularly since I am sticking to IPv6. So I find that gFTP crashes over IPv6 using SSH, and no response to this problem from the gFTP developers. SIP-Communicator is finally supporting IPv6. It may be a 'forget it' for IPv6 and vnc, but TightVNC has been demonstrated to run via LSIs over HIP over IPv6 (LSI is IPv4 equiv addresses for v4 apps in HIP). Found out, though that there is no TightVNC for FC10 yet, and may not be until FC11 according to one wiki. So I am having 'fun' here. Too much cruft to plow through. I SHOULD only be working with HIPL right now, but there is so much surronding stuff to sort out as well, mostly IPv6 related. start by looking at the code, where it came from, who are the people involved with it, who is writing it, who is releasing it, then work out what the requirements for the software are, and if centos provides those requirements. once you have that info - make a decision or talk to people on options, and follow one through. First I ask to see if anyone else knows about what is available. Maybe my search terms are missing. Next I get on their mailing list and ask around there. Then I queue this up with all the other tasks surronding my HIPL project and see where it will fall in ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Of course, who wants Freemind... freemind mostly just worked for me, download and run sort of. did you need to do much more ? Although i am using Sun's JRE for this ( and a bunch of things like talend ) But I have been working very hard of late on HIPL (HIP for Linux), doing the Centos testing for the HIPL team. Just need a place to put them. Why not into CentOS ? Over the last few weeks, weve spoken about a slightly more open centos-contribs making a comeback. this sort a thing would fit in there perfectly. Along the way, I am finding ALL sorts of challenges. Particularly since I am sticking to IPv6. So I find that gFTP crashes over IPv6 using SSH, and no response to this problem from the gFTP developers. people still use ftp ? :D So I am having 'fun' here. Too much cruft to plow through. I SHOULD only be working with HIPL right now, but there is so much surronding stuff to sort out as well, mostly IPv6 related. there have been a fair few people asking around about ipv6, I wonder if now is a good time to get some sort of a group together for that. eg. the state issues around iptables/ipv6 could do with some traction anytime now. First I ask to see if anyone else knows about what is available. Maybe my search terms are missing. Next I get on their mailing list and ask around there. Then I queue this up with all the other tasks surronding my HIPL project and see where it will fall in cool, I'd be happy to help with things from this side, if you need anything. - KB ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
