Hi, folks. What's going on, if anything, to add Fedora 9 to the
RPMforge targets? I'd like to update my Subversioin to be compatible
with my RPMforge supplied Subversion-1.5.2, but I'm tripping over the
handling of ruby requirements to build it in 'mock'. I'm also testing
out a Nagios 3 .spec file, called 'nagis3.spec' to rename it to
reflect the major release change, but I'm testing it on Fedora 9 for
various reasons and want to be assured that it will work well there
for RPMforge.
That is a good question. I stopped doing Fedora since FC3 if I
remember correctly, mostly because I am no longer interested in
running it for myself. Then Dries showed interest in continuing it. I
am not sure whether Dries still wants to take care of Fedora 9
otherwise if someone else wants to take over I think we should allow
that to happen.
Woof. That's a lot of work, to learn your folks package building tools
and take that up (as you guys surely, surely know!) You're using a
virtual server to do nightly rebuilds, right?
For me it is important to include (at least) the latest Fedora because
newer technologies/infrastructure will come with the next RHEL/CentOS
anyway so it helps to be prepared for it.
I've got Subversion 1.5.1 building with Fedora 9's mock from the Fedora
'testing' repository, so I'm OK for now. Other packages, like the
php-pear-propel package, are only available in Fedora 'testing' and
would benefit from being in your repositories, for uses like Lilac.
But of course, it is a lot of work to keep up, so it probably needs
dedication if it is continued.
PS Since our aim is to move to rpmrepo when it is ready, it is
important to understand that what we do will need to work with what is
decide for rpmrepo.
The Wiki seems to say it's not really up yet, and I don't see a codebase
or layout for the new structure there. It's cool. Is there a list other
than the Wiki itself for discussing it?
