Sorry target system. All the sites I help with are still primarily EL-3 so I am going to play with setting up an EL-5 bot that will basically take Fedora SRPMS, subtract the packages that don't exist in EL-3, and recompiling them and then putting them in an 'alpha' channel. From there I will promote the ones that I need to a 'beta' and focus on them. Those ready will move to a gamma channel. Old packages will be moved to an delta channel, and retired to an epsilon channel. I figure if I get it working.. and from the notes I need for it, I can self-publish a PDF book to be sold on Lulu. > Some documentation is in the packages, a few more pages are in the > Wiki (I just noticed I don't know them): > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Plague > > EL-4: http://mschwendt.fedorapeople.org/plague/plague-0.4.4.1-10.el4.src.rpm > EL-5: http://mschwendt.fedorapeople.org/plague/plague-0.4.4.1-10.el5.src.rpm > are basically what the EPEL build machines run. > > The various noarch packages are: > plague-client > plague-common > plague-builder > plague-utils : for certhelper, user-manager > plague : the server > > Hints?
