Hi LTSP/Fedora Community.
(1st let me say "Sorry for the X-Posting to multiple Lists")
I would like to take this opportunity to say that Myself and a friend have stepped up and I will now take over trying to keep LTSP in Fedora Current with the upstream.
@ the end of last week I was given access to the LTSP Package on Fedora.
I have the src of ltsp-5.2.4 and am in the process of getting this into and .rpm for Fedora 13 & Fedora 14 (x86 & x86_64).
This is going to take a little bit of time to get this release into an .rpm, but we hope to have this done within the next week or so...
I first need to get my head around how the current version is packaged and then we should be able to get the new version packaged the same way to try and make this all as seamless as possible.

Hi LTSP/Fedora Community.
I would like to apologize to the LTSP community for missing the Feature Freeze of Fedora 14
:-(
This mean that LTSP 5.2.4 will not be ready for the F14 Release. I am working on getting the release into Rawhide and hope that it will be ready post F14 GA and get into F14 as soon as possible.
Once again sorry for the slow reaction and i hope to have LTSP 5.2.4 in F14 asap.

Hi LTSP/Fedora Community.
After a flurry of work over night I have finally managed to get some .rpm's ready for testing on x86_64 F13.
I have uploaded them all to a tmp dir on one of my www sites so you can download and test them before I push them into Fedora.
http://www.dageek.co.uk/ltsp/x86_64/
You should find all 3 of the .rpm files ready for testing.
40740cc693a3ef56bcd9ebb183af9d17 ltsp-client-5.2.4-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm 9904acb9ecff9166b10eed8b81d5cfdf ltsp-server-5.2.4-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm 744c4eb816bb5b2f86c256086d1be8c3 ltsp-vmclient-5.2.4-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm
Please have a little play with these .rpm files *ON A TEST PLATFORM* and let me know if they are OK.
I will reiterate...
*** THESE ARE NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION USE ***

Hi LTSP/Fedora Community.
I am working on the F13 issue with the ltsp upstream source and think I have a working version ready to roll into the next version of the 5.2.4-*.rpm
I am doing all my testing on x86_64 but the changes I am making to the upstream files should work on both x86_64 & i386 versions of F13.
As always, I will keep everyone as up2date as I can, as and when I have more info.
Thank You for your continued understanding.

Hello Gavin,
thank for Your LTSP work! I want use LTSP on i386 server and stations, but at URL You put are only x86_64 packages. Please, can You offer i386 or source RPMs? I will test them.

Hi Franta
thank for Your LTSP work! I want use LTSP on i386 server and stations, but at URL You put are only x86_64 packages. Please, can You offer i386 or source RPMs? I will test them.
Once I have a 100% working copy for x86_64 I will build all arch. The issue is all my testing systems and indeed my own laptop run x86_64 so while I am constantly rebuilding to work out the issues with the up-stream code, It is much faster to just build the x86_64 and test.
Once I have the package fully ready it will be pushed to the official Fedora Repo's and it will then be available on all Supported arch's
It shouldn't be to long now, I am almost done with the changes needed to the up-stream code and then we will all be able to test and play.
I Hope that helps.

Hi LTSP/Fedora Community.
I now have a fully working copy of LTSP for both i686 & x86_64
The New .rpm's are still located on my www server, and to make things a little easier I have also made a Yum Repo for both archs as well.
The .repo file is @ http://www.dageek.co.uk/ltsp/ltsp.repo
and the .rpm's them selves are also located @
http://www.dageek.co.uk/ltsp/i686/ http://www.dageek.co.uk/ltsp/x86_64/
Please have a play with these .rpm's and feed back any comments to me and/or the mailing lists. Once a few people have tested the .rpm's and given the all clear, I will push them up into the Official Fedora Repos
Thank you all for your continued patience and understanding.

Hiya JD
Your repo file is busted.
The repo is fine, if you look @ the url's in my original e-mail the arch's I have built for is only x86_64 & i686, I haven't built the latest LTSP for i386.
I only on x86_64 and i686 based systems to test my personal builds.
Once I have had a little feedback I will push the source .rpm back up to the Official Fedora Repos.
I hope that helps JD.
and the .rpm's them selves are also located @
http://www.dageek.co.uk/ltsp/i686/ http://www.dageek.co.uk/ltsp/x86_64/
Please have a play with these .rpm's and feed back any comments to me and/or the mailing lists. Once a few people have tested the .rpm's and given the all clear, I will push them up into the Official Fedora Repos
Thank you all for your continued patience and understanding.

What JD probably meant is that the repo file does not work on 32-bit (x86_32) Fedoras, since $basearch is still set as i386 for some releng reason (IIRC this has been discussed on fedora-devel some while ago).
You should be able to fix the repo tree with a symlink by making i386 point to the i686 directory.

Yes that is what I meant.

He should test the repo in i686 Fedora before distributing the repo file.
