#15: FEL with source + build packages
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: shakthimaan | Owner: chitlesh
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 11 'Leonidas'
Component: FEL | Version: devel
Keywords: Source |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
I would like FEL to include source packages with documentation for various
FEL tools that it ships with for the following reasons:
1. It should be a distro that one can install, use, and develop, without
the need for an Internet connection. For upgrades, developers can obtain
patches and re-build.
2. There are many people who are on dial-up in remote places in India, and
the speeds are slow. It takes a really long time to download the source
packages or refer documentation. It is only useful for chatting. And most
of them on dial-up are on winmodems, and don't have driver support with
Fedora.
3. It will be helpful to deploy this standalone solution in a lab.
If the above can be done, it will be an off-the-shelf distro that one can
simply install and use for learning, development and testing.
I think FEL uses only 1.3 GB, so disk space shouldn't be an issue.

[Fedora-electronic-lab] Call for Testing Fwd: [Fedora Update] [comment] electric-8.09-1.fc11
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello there,
the latest electric version will land on fedora testing repository
soon. I will leave it on testing since I know some users are using
third party plugins already with the 8.08 version. So in order not to
break their production environment, I will leave electric-8.09 on
updates-testing repository. If you want to try the latest version
please,
# yum install electric --enablerepo=updates-testing
Cheers,
Chitlesh
