Rather than a yum repository (that needs to be kept up to date, and can get out of date easily, etc), I've learned that FC5 tends to "just have" a lot of the stuff that we need.
Couldn't we just: (1) Get rid of the stuff in SlimServer's "local" CPAN directory, (2) Get the dependencies "right" in the RPM so other FC5 components (if any) are installed automatically, and (3) For the PERL CPAN stuff (since this isn't RPM packages), have .rpmspec code that verifies the "right stuff" is installed, or install using CPAN archives that already exist? I'm not sure what was done on Debian. But I know that I just recently installed MythTV, and 99% of the dependencies were already satisfied by what FC5 offers "out of the box" ... This seems to me that it would be more likely to work with FC6, etc, whenever that comes ... -- Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23594 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
