EPEL4 and libxml++
by Jos Vos 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

Hi, I see that libxlm++-2.20.0 is in EPEL5. Is there a technical reason that there is no libxml++ (maybe version 2.14.0) built for EPEL4? IIRC I have once used some old FCx binary RPMs on RHEL4 and that seemed to work ok. B.t.w. I'm still wondering why libxml++ isn't in RHEL. I would think that many people are interested in using that. -- -- Jos Vos <jos(a)xos.nl> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204

For this, you will notice new /etc/pam.d/mock, /etc/consolehelper/mock files which configure mock. The default config is set up to operate exactly the same as the old 0.8 branch: ie. you must be a member of the 'mock' group to run mock. Additionally, with consolehelper comes one new feature: if you are not in the 'mock' group, you will be prompted to enter the root password and it will run. This means you can run mock without worrying about any pre-setup. > Do any changes, fixes, etc need to be done for EPEL since they are basically F-3/F-6? -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- CSIRT/Linux System Administrator How far that little candle throws his beams!
