I hate to be partly off topic, but I wanted to give an update on the repository I shared a few days ago.
I created the repository because I've been using RHEL/CentOS for GNURadio and Octave a long time and wanted to help others do so since it can be a chore on the slower distributions. Although I've been porting and packaging a long time, I admit I'm new to running a repository and may have made some beginner mistakes in that area. I made the announcement on the 6th after getting some initial RPMs up, and later found out that there may have been some RPMs I'd built locally long ago that may have been used in the build process but weren't actually in my repository which were causing failed dependencies in yum. I worked for several days to improve the packaging of the RPMs provided, and added several new packages. I went through and made sure everything was signed and included, so all dependencies should now be resolved. I apologize if anyone gave it a try and encountered problems, and I hope they'll try again. If there are other packages you'd like to work on RHEL/CentOS or are having problems with the ones posted, I'll be happy to try and remedy the situation. I'm also open to packaging suggestions or corrections such as trying to put some of these off to the side with alternate package names. I'm all ears and just want to make GNURadio more accessible. -Brett P.S. I'm still in the process of getting a mock build environment for RHEL organized so I can create the i386 repository, which should clean up some of the few remaining library issues as well as make GNURadio a little more accessible. Lastly, I hope to include SDL support sooner or later, but it's dependency heck and ultimately messes with packages like nss which is dangerous and needs to be done carefully. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
