Hi, I have checked in all the opkg meta rpms for all the OSCAR packages for Fedora 7 / 8 - X86 and almost all the OSCAR normal packages have been rebuilt and checked in. (Note, only mpich for Fedora 8 is not recompiled). Some fixes are added and the fedora support should be much better than before.
I hope that anyone can test with branch-5-1 on fedora 7 / 8 and post any problems. http://oscar.openclustergroup.org/filebrowser/49/branch Regards, - DongInn Allan Menezes wrote: > Hi Steven, > > Steven Blackburn wrote: >> I'm having problems with the r6785 nightly (dated 23rd December) and >> am now getting too deep / involved.
