Thanks for the detailed response. I was aware of the Development Tools group but for my install script I am trying to install the bare minimum needed. I will admit, figuring out what the minimum is may be more trouble than its worth, but its a matter of principal/pride/(maybe stupidity) on my part.
Good info about libjpeg-turbo, maybe I will move away from using the LJT repo and just get the LJT-devel from the OS repo. Should simplify the script/setup a bit and does not sound like there would be anything to lose. However, you mention ldd to verify whats used to build against, could you elaborate as I am not familiar with the command. Wouldnt hurt to verify that LJT 2.x isnt being used to build against before removing it. As for RH, I would have agreed 6 months ago. However you hit the nail on the head with my thoughts behind the "why?". I-B-M. People flipped out when they bought up RH and then took 1 of 2 sides... A) Its the end of the world/IBM sucks/destroys everything they touch B) The other side is over reacting nothing will change for the worse. As I read release notes for 8.x and even 7.8 I am seeing IBM's hand in things and its giving me that feeling you get when you know something is off but hasn't crossed a line yet. While your point is certainly valid about them having open source alternatives, in most cases those alternatives are readily available. The real concern in this case is they have removed a free, open source, widely used competitor (tomcat) to their paid product and then do not even include the open source version of that product in their own default repos (IE: could not find wildfly in the CentOS repos). In the case of CentOS this essentially leaves no "easy" option from the repos. Beyond just tomcat, they seem to be shifting away from (remove/deprecating/etc) many things that appear to be motivated by IBM in the background vs legitimate business needs (which as you point out they have in the past struck a good/fair balance of) and whats best for users (aka customers for RHEL). Its hard to pinpoint it all, but after reading over release notes for 8.x's and 7.8, especially the deprecated and bugs parts...it does not inspire confidence. In any case, plan to stick to tomcat as long as its possible to. Just ashame that RH cant be bothered to include it in the repos. Hell, I would even settle for EPEL having it. -- Sent from: http://apache-guacamole-general-user-mailing-list.2363388.n4.nabble.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@guacamole.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@guacamole.apache.org
