I have the HP edition of RH7.2 installed on a 21164 533Mhz pc164lx. All is well with the system and I have had no problems except that there are no software updates/upgrades to the latest versions of applications I need such as postgresql/php/apache/ssl etc. Then I ran across the Fedora project and noticed that the latest alpha rpm's for these applications were availible for download. The problem is that they don't work on the 7.2 release and rpm -Uvh for the packages I need give me countless failed deps as I expected they would. Will there be an upcomming alpha iso release for the latest redhat version? If not, I would like to port an updated rh release for the alpha architecture. If any one is doing this already or if anybody needs help doing this I'd be pleased to help out. If someone is already doing this could you please point me in the right direction?
Myself, Jeff Garzik, Richard Henderson, Phil "Bryce" Copeland and various people from DEC/COMPAQ/HP have been slowly making evil plans to work on an alpha port of the current distribution sometime soon. We have no details as of yet, but once we are ready to start building and pushing packages we'll let people know here. The intent is to make a Fedora/Alpha distribution.
Oh, cool ! kudos, power, and unlimited 32/24 time to you guys !!
All the best, cristian
That is all the detail I have for now. When there is more information, we will announce it here.
