They are hosted in a repository. If one is running openSUSE it is a one click install. http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/home%3ASebastianHilbert/openSUSE_10.3/gnumed-client.ymp
Just click this link and it will take care of everything. http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/home%3ASebastianHilbert/openSUSE_10.3/gnumed-server.ymp Same as for Debian where one just does apt-get install gnumed-client and hoppefully will be able to do apt-get install gnumed-server soon. > 2) is 'zypper" for openSUSE and if this is calling a "modified rpm" > where does that live? It lives here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:SebastianHilbert/openSUSE_10.3 In the so called buildservice which is a server farm with different distributions. One just sends a spec file and the tar.gz and it will produce the rpm package. > 3) what do the above do?

Anything that can be done through a shell script. -- Sebastian Hilbert Leipzig / Germany [www.gnumed.de] -> PGP welcome, HTML ->/dev/null _______________________________________________ Gnumed-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumed-devel
