While Fedora 9 may be EOL, there are older distributions, such as CentOS4.x that are not. Is there an official policy on what distros are supported? I can't find a list on the website or wiki. The 'ganglia.pod' file claims: Ganglia runs on Linux (i386, ia64, sparc, alpha, powerpc, m68k, mips, arm, hppa, s390), FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonflyBSD, MacOS X, Solaris, AIX, IRIX, Tru64, HPUX and Windows NT/XP/2000/2003/2008 making it as portable as it is scalable. That still true? The file was last updated in r1708 (Aug 2008), but the vast bulk of the content is from r225 when the file was created back in 2003. When was the last time someone built ganglia on IRIX, or Linux-hppa (<shudder>)? This of course ignores various distributions, which seems to be the problem at hand. This all said, I strongly suspect that a build that works on RHEL4/CentOS4 will work with Fedora9 (if there's a desire to support that distribution). Similarly, a build that works for older SuSE releases would be useful as well. And let's not forget the ancient Debian systems out there. ;-) -- Jesse Becker ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
