Linux downloads

2003-01-15 Thread E. Rens
Hi,

what is the best way to download packages in the Linux compat realm? I'm 
looking for something like the ports system, that would search and 
download the file with the appropriate dependencies too.

Alternately, where could I find lists of ftp servers for Linux and for 
FreeBSD?

Thank you in advance for your tips.

You won't believe ist:
You will find them in the ports system. Some of them are called
linux-mozilla or linux-jdk - in case there is a bsd-port
available, too.

Uli.

Many thanks but see, I need to install a linux package called cooledit 
and I have Python installed. If I use rpm alone I get:

#: rpm -i /compat/linux/usr/arch/cooledit-3.9.0-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
   python is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
   pythonlib is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
   /bin/sh   is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
   ld-linux.so.2 is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
   libX11.so.6 is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
   libXext.so.6 is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
   libXpm.so.4 is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
   libc.so.6 is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
   libdl.so.2 is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
   libm.so.6 is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
   libpthread.so.0 is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
   /bin/sh is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1

If I use /compat/linux/bin/rpm the list is shorter but still Python is 
not seen:

# : /compat/linux/bin/rpm -i 
/compat/linux/usr/arch/cooledit-3.9.0-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
   python is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1
   pythonlib is needed by cooledit-3.9.0-1

What should I do ?

# cd /usr/ports/editors/cooledit
# make install clean

Probably someone (the port-maintainer) has solved this problem
for you.

If you don't know if an application has been ported, type

# locate cooledit
