Greetings folks;
It appears that statserial will almost do what I want, although without the
blinkenlites I was looking for. However its refresh rate of once a second is
about 10x too slow, so I think I'm missing some flow control events.
Where can I find a tarball of the most recent version, google seems to only
hit on ready to run rpms & debs.

Cheers, Gene

If you can find a srpm, just download that and extract the tarball from
there. Bonus: You get a working spec file out of it and can therefore
(usually) build yourself a new, modified, srpm with minimal effort if
you want to.

The only src rpm I found googling was for an older version unless I'm going
blind, damned cataracts are beginning to bloom though.
Thanks Frank.

Is this what you're looking for, or is it the older version that you
mention above? (I just picked a Fedora mirror site and looked in the
F12 srpm directory.)

Might be that this one would be happy with ncurses, the tarball needs curses,
minus the n.
Thanks Frank, I give this one a shot too.

`rpm -qi statserial` and look at the URL: line.

That is what I was looking for but it won't give it to me, using gFTP here:
And then, while I was typing the above line preparatory to doing a copy paste
from the gFTP screen, it went back and got it after a first failure, Odd.
But it looks like I got it now, thank you very much!

Got it, won't build, needs curses, not ncurses. Is there a fix for that, all
the ncurses stuff is installed, and I just added cdk-devel but that didn't
help either.
Ideas anyone?
Thanks

Try compiling the (unmodified) srpm from the f12 srpm directory and see
what occurs.

I ran an rpm -Uvh on it, and now have locates db being updated to I might
find it, its not in /usr/src/redhat. :(
WTH? It put it in /root/rpmbuild. Whodathunkit. Ok, cd'd to
/root/rpmbuild. man rpmbuild I suppose.
Thanks Frank.

You're complicating things far more than they need to be.
yum install rpmdevtools
rpmdev-setuptree
rpmbuild --rebuild whatever.src.rpm
cd ~/rpmbuild
See the RPMS, SOURCES, SPECS and SRPMS subdirectories. Look inside for
stuff.
Read the rpmbuild manpage for many other wonderful things, such as -bb
using a spec file (in the SPECS directory, of course) to create a new
rpm and srpm after modifying stuff in SOURCES.

One added point - with the exception of "yum install rpmdevtools",
you can do all this as a normal user. Then you just need to do the
install of the finished RPM as root.

Thanks Frank, I'll see if I can make some headway in this tomorrow.
