And here is our choices: 1) Direct the user to download via SVN the required directory. This sucks because the user may not have SVN installed on his machine. Additionally, there are other software directories in the downloaded directory that will get built and installed unless you give alternate commands. This almost rules out this choice. Which leaves us with: 2) Host the tarball ourselves. Which means an Editor must download via SVN, and remove 5 directories from the root of the tree. This leaves a created tarball of: -rw-r--r-- 1 rml install 650636 Jan 8 20:22 akode-svn.tar.gz 650 KB. Then, you must run an obscure command of "make -f Makefile.cvs" to create the autotools using the special KDE method. Once you run this command and tar up the files you have: -rw-r--r-- 1 rml install 1421912 Jan 8 20:24 ready2go.tar.gz More than twice the size, but ready to run CMMI. Which tarball should we host? -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 22:05:02 up 106 days, 7:29, 3 users, load average: 1.39, 0.73, 0.41 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
