Couple of things, not that I disagree with anything you say, but just to put things into perspective...... Logi did a pretty good job of maintaining LMS on multiple platforms. For many years I used the Logi provided RPM on Fedora. It wasn't until the breakage caused by the Fedora update to Perl 5.16 that we had a problem. My memory is a little hazy, but for whatever reason Andy didn't seem to place a high priority on making binary perl modules for 5.16, weeks and months went by with nothing done, at which point I started making an alternative package for Fedora. Andy left. Michael did take back upstream the compatibility stuff that the SuSe and Fedora guys had implemented to get LMS working with Perl 5.16, and I believe that he is building for 5.18 as well, so I'd expect that the "official" Logi RPM should work on the latest F20, not that I've tried it myself. But whatever the history, the CS repo now exists, I use Fedora, and it is my intention to keep this going for Fedora i386/x86_64 desktop as well as for the Player (Wandboard) side of the project. With the release of F19, I was several weeks behind the release day and the CS packages were late for F19. The intention was to have the repo populated before the release of F20. I was a day late. Hopefully, when F21 is released I'll be a day early. ;) I was never comfortable with the Logi rpm being "produced" from a binary tar. I might be an old stick in the mud, but I believe that a binary rpm should be produced from a src rpm by the software being compiled directly from the spec file. I also don't like the fact that binaries (for multiple platforms) are bundled into a single noarch rpm. I'd hate to see upstream Logi (Michael) drop support for Fedora. I'd like to see that continue. So I kind of wonder how helpful it is, if the CS repo is praised to the point where Michael thinks it would be OK to drop support for Fedora from the "official" builds. If it works for you great, and I appreciate your kind words, but I also appreciate the work that Michael does. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100579 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
