That is a bit obscure to someone who doesn't think they can build it from source. Here are more complete instructions.... * install the mrtg srpm from the Fedora Core 4 distribution. That will put a number of files in your build root. Usually, that is /usr/src/RPM. * download the most recent tarball (http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/pub/mrtg-2.14.4.tar.gz) * if the old tarball in /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES was bzip'ed instead of gzip'ed, then you will need to gunzip the file, and then bzip2 it. It would then be mrtg-2.14.4.tar.bz2 * Put the new (gzip|bzip2) tarball in /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES * Edit /usr/src/RPM/SPECS/mrtg.spec and change the %Version to 2.14.4. If you also want snmp v3 support, you will need to add a line like: Requires: Perl-Net-SNMP For completeness, you should also add a comment in the changelog section, e.g.: %changelog * Tue Mar 14 2006 Dan McDonald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2.13.2-1mdk - New Release 2.13.2 Now run rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/RPM/SPECS/mrtg.spec rpmbuild will either complain that you need to load another package, or compile a fresh RPM for you. It will also package up a fresh SRPM with your modified spec file. -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE #2495, CNX, CISSP #78281 Austin Energy gpg Key: http://austinnetworkdesign.com/pgp.key Key fingerprint = B527 F53D 0C8C D38B DCC7 901D 2F19 A13A 22E8 A76A -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi
