Packaging a certain version of a program (writing or updating the spec file) and building/distributing the rpms isn't always done by the same person. In this case, i updated the spec file, did a test build and committed the changes in our subversion repository. Dag updates his local copy of the subversion repository and he schedules builds of the changed spec files in his build system. Then some scripts generate metadata for yum/apt/smart/.. and the changed rpms+metadata is made public on the rpmforge web/rsync server. These last steps (generating metadata, moving everything to the public dir) can take quite a lot of time. I can't know when an rpm will be online, so i can only say "i've changed the spec file". It's possible that the spec file builds fine on my pc but not in the build system used by Dag, it's possible that i forgot to check in some patches, it's possible that Dag doesn't have the time to build new rpms (he has a job, girlfriend and so on, he's not (yet) an 24/7 rpm building android) or that he simply doesn't want to have a certain rpm in his repository (it should go in 'test' or there's already a newer version in centos itself). > @Dries > Sorry, I didn't figure that I mailed you my response directly instead on > users-list. no problem. kind regards, Dries _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rpmforge.net/mailman/listinfo/users
