[Ekiga-list] Distributions available

[Alan Sill]

These are almost all unstable branch distributions, which are  
unusable for those whose environments are based on stable branch  
distributions intended for long-term use.


We need at least one pre-compiled version, preferably accessible via  
yum, apt where appropriate, or rpm, that will work on a stable-branch  
distribution such as CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise, Scientific Linux,  
etc.  As it is, Ekiga is not useful for long-term IT environments.


Thanks.

Re: [Ekiga-list] Ekiga for stable OS releases

[Alan Sill]

Hi,

Yes, this is exactly the problem!  The snapshots do not have anything  
for the stable branch of the Red Hat-like distributions.  Fedora  
Core is based on the unstable branch and is also no longer  
supported.  CentOS and RHEL (as well as Scientific Linux, which is  
quite like CentOS and is provided by the large labs such as CERN and  
Fermilab) use the stable branch.  The FC4 variant does not install or  
play well on the stable-branch distributions.

We could boil down this request to provide a CentOS 4 - compatible  
snapshot rpm package.  That would be very helpful.

Thank you,

 However, we can not support all distributions like Scientific Linux 4.
 But you could easily provide such repositories, we would be happy to
 mirror them.

[Ekiga-list] Ekiga for stable OS releases

[Alan Sill]

One big barrier to adoption of Ekiga on our Linux systems is that we  
tend to use the stable branch rather than the latest-greatest  
developmental one of our OS installations.  Our current systems are  
based on CentOS 4.4, Scientific Linux 4, and RHEL 4 with the former  
being as bleeding-edge as we become.

Is it possible to set up download repositories, preferably yum- 
accessible, for instalaltions of Ekiga and its associated  
dependencies?  Having been through the painful compilation process  
more than once over the past few years, I can say that compiling from  
source on our (many, widely distributed) client machines is not an  
acceptable option and we would like to see a release system aimed at  
adoption and not experimentation.

Thanks.
