Hello I've been playing with the open build server and managed to get developing releases packages for xboard for the following distributions:
Debian_6.0 Fedora_14 Fedora_15 Mandriva_2010.1 Mandriva_2010 openSUSE_11.3 openSUSE_11.4 openSUSE_Factory openSUSE_Tumbleweed xUbuntu_10.10 xUbuntu_11.04 (Working on packages for CentOS) There are two packages: xboargit and xboardnext. xboardgit is the latest version from master xboardnext is the latest version of the branch v4.5.x You should be able to install these packages in parallel to your standard xboard package (if not, let me know). The new executable are called xboardgit and xboardnext and also their .rc files and installations directories are changed accordingly. You can find the packages at: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/apersaud:/xboard/ I can only test the opensuse_Tumbleweed packages and they seem to work ok. It would be great, if people can try out the packages for some other distributions. Let me know if there are any problems in the packaging (e.g. missing desktop files, menu entries, etc) and I'll try to fix them... The goal is to make the development version easier available for testers (we need more people to test). cheers ARUN
