Don't know if this is of any use or has been done before, but below are some simple instructions for grabbing the current freevo from subversion and installing it locally with out disturbing your current freevo setup or needing to be root.
I have to say just from a quick run up it look fantastic! Good work and thank you. john # Make a local dir that you want to install stuff to. mkdir ~/freevo2 cd ~/freevo2 # First link in the relevent parts of python to do a local install. mkdir bin # Note all paths and local references are very necessary to make python install to the local directories. # Note this should be a copy for this to work, although I think a hard link may work also. cp /usr/bin/python bin/ mkdir -p lib/python2.3 ln -s /usr/lib/python2.3/* lib/python2.3/ rm lib/python2.3/site-packages/ mkdir lib/python2.3/site-packages ln -s /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/* lib/python2.3/site-packages/ rm lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo rm lib/python2.3/site-packages/kaa mkdir -p include/python2.3 ln -s /usr/include/python2.3/* include/python2.3/ # Now grab the source from subversion. mkdir src cd src svn co svn://svn.freevo.org/kaa/trunk kaa svn co svn://svn.freevo.org/freevo/trunk freevo # Now install to local dir ~/freevo2/ cd kaa ~/freevo2/bin/python setup.py install cd freevo ~/freevo2/bin/python setup.py install # Putting a local config file in place will stop it picking up the /etc/freevo files, if you already have this file then you may want to back it up first. mkdir ~/.freevo cp -i ui/local_conf.py.example ~/.freevo/local_conf.py # You will want to setup some stuff in here. vi ~/.freevo/local_conf.py cd ~/freevo2/bin ./freevo setup ./freevo ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
