The AG Team at ANL currently plans to supply base distribution materials and a small number of complete end-user distributions. Additionally, we will work with others to use these base distribution materials to create other distributions, using our CVS, Bugzilla, testing tools and mailing lists to coordinate the effort. If developers create packages for new platforms and want them to become part of the standard development process, they must be willing to support the packages they have created.
As of 2.2 (the coming release) we plan to provide: 1) windows installers 2) tarball packaging 3) basic RPM (distribution and version independent) 4) Fedora RPMSs* 5) Slackware Packages* 6) RedHat 7.3 RPMs (This is the last release we'll support RedHat 7.3) * These have been, to date, unsupported by the AG Team at ANL. As of this release, however, we'd like to work with the developers doing the packaging to integrate this work into our standard development process. For the 2.3 release we would like to provide: 1) windows installers 2) tarball packaging 3) basic RPM (dist,version independent) 4) basic debian package 5) Fedora RPMs 6) Slackware Packages If you are interested in supporting any particular platform (or already are) please send email to mailto:ag-...@mcs.anl.gov with your contact information, platform interest, and any other pertinent information that might be helpful. --Ivan
