Hi.
I've been working on creating the RedHat-Athena 5.1 packages:
1. I built and installed the source-sipb source tree on snorklewacker
with /srvd on the local disk. Then I manually modified some
configuration files and now it seems to run Athena ok.
2. I temporarily changed /mit/linux/packages/current to point to 5.1
instead of 4.2, because "makepackage" still writes packages into
"current". Eventually, I'll change it so you can specify a version on
the command line.
3. I ran "makepackage -s" for each package. Most of them failed to
build because lots of files are in different places in 8.2. So I
started editing /mit/linux/packages/package-lists to reflect the 8.2
packages. This is going pretty well.
4. Once every package builds, I will do a clean reinstall of RedHat
5.1 on snork and install the Athena rpms and see what works and what
breaks.
Have a nice day,
Sal.
