Where is a good place to post my Sl7 wine32 notes?
Hi All, My SL7, wine 32 notes finally proofread. I am having trouble figuring out how to add something to Wine's WIKI. Is there a better place to post it? Many thanks, -T -- ~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~
Re: how to add packages that are not in the repo?
i'm having some luck getting the repos to work, but the code below returns errors: su -c 'yum -y install rpmfusion-release' DOES NOT WORK!
Re: how to add packages that are not in the repo?
There are fascinating legal reasons that repositories like 'rpmfusion' might not be in the Scientific Linux defaults, and certainly reasons why it's not enabled in the upstream RHEL defaults. Checking the public web pages about rpmfusin, the RPM are listed at http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration Once you've installed it once, it'll be available from then on on that system.

Is there a better place to post it? Many thanks, -T I'm glancing at the EPEL site, and don't see good notes on how to get a git clone trivially. But since it's a Fedora published RPM, and they have a WIKI at https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/wine/bugs, perhaps you could post your notes there? If you post them there, I might be able to find a few cycles to help wrap it into an SRPM building toolkit, somewhat like I do for Subversion and Samba and LWP over at github.
Re: how to add packages that are not in the repo?
i want to get 'mplayer' and the 'smplayer' front end but they are not in EPEL. so i'll either have to find a repo that has them or i will have to get them from an outside source. it's in pkgs.org, does anyone know which one of these versions is 32-bit? http://pkgs.org/download/mplayer i am totally new to sl, that's why i'm asking about packages.

Is there a better place to post it? This mailing list? Though perhaps you can also post it on places like GitHub such that later an RPM spec file can be contributed by yourself or others who have cycles to do it, next to the notes. Then the spec/notes can be maintained there and have a more permanent visibility with revision history. Just a thought. -- Serguei Mokhov http://www.cs.concordia.ca/~mokhov http://marf.sf.net | http://sf.net/projects/marf

First of all that the dependencies are taken care of - or it will tell you which dependencies can't be found, and that yum will not complain about rpm having been used outside of yum. If you want to add these external packages to more machines, it may be more convenient to create your own repository server. All you need is a web server where you can upload all your own packages and run createrepo in that directory. Then you add your own repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d with the baseurl variable pointing to your own server and path to your packages. Once that is in place, yum install will do the rest. The advantage here is that when you upload updated packages to your web server and run createrepo again, all your boxes gets updated automatically next time the yum update job runs (unless you've disabled the auto update, then running 'yum update' or the gnome/kde update applet will do the job). -- kind regards, David Sommerseth

i installed 'osmo' but it only gives audio beeps. how do i get a popup alert? would it be possible to install 'kalarm' on SL 6? or does it only run on kde? - tini --- Original Message --- From: ToddAndMargo toddandma...@zoho.com To: Tini t...@telekon.org, prmari...@gmail.com, SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-USERS@FNAL.GOV Subject: Re: how to add packages that are not in the repo?
