I've packaged pypy in RPM form for the Fedora distribution [1] - RPM packages are now built in the development branch targeting the next major release (Fedora 15).
So it should now be possible for Fedora users to type # yum install pypy and obtain a precompiled /usr/bin/pypy executable via an rpm package, consisting of the JIT-enabled pypy, with all standard settings, without needing to do the full build themselves. I'll do my best to keep these "downstream" packages promptly updated as further "upstream" releases of PyPy occur. Many thanks to everyone who helped with this, especially fijal, for all his great feedback on the packaging review [2] (Caveat: actually, the build won't be available yet via "yum" until a cronjob runs tonight; for now, the build can be downloaded from: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=212473 ) Some other links, for the curious, can be seen here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/pypy e.g. to the rpm packaging sources. Hope this is helpful Dave [1] http://fedoraproject.org/ [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=588941 _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
