For those testing Fedora Core 4 (Linux) - I'm working on an rpm spec file for eventual inclusion in rpm.livna.org
It packages things differently than the standard SlimDevices supplied rpm, the intention is to use system installed perl modules where possible etc. and reduce what is in the CPAN directory. This of course is completely unsupported by slim devices, some of the perl modules will be different versions (I'm doing my best to make sure same or newer) and some them may have patches applied by the maintainers of the perl module etc. - so it's a situation where problems should not reported to slim devices unless you _know_ it is their problem (and you can only do that by using their install) But there are benefits to doing things the "Fedora" way - automated updates through yum, if there are security issues with any of the perl modules - the Fedora maintainers fixing it and pushing it to updates means that you don't still have the vulnerability in the slimserver - etc. What I presently have is at http://mpeters.us/sleek/ Info page describing what I'm doing is at http://mpeters.us/sleek/info.html That's what I'll be updating as I progress. Currently it's a little difficult to install because some of the needed perl modules in Fedora Rawhide have to be updated, and there's a couple perl modules that have to get into Fedora Extras - but the obvious goal is to make installation as simple as yum install slimserver Anyone using FC4Test series who wants to test or contribute is welcome. I'm particularly eager to hear about it on x86_64 (amd64) - if the perl modules from Fedora work, then slimserver should too. -- http://mpeters.us/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
