Weather Wallpaper rpm for Fedora 7

nick — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 14:51:00 +0100

It's not often I blog twice in a day, but after seeing this post I just had to see if I could build a rpm for fedora 7.

I've updated my repo for fedora 7, so.. yum install weather-wallpaper should do the trick :cool:

Edit: Hidden yum transation behind more tag.

Smolt RPM for CentOS, RHEL, etc

nick — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 10:00:00 +0100

I after installing Fedora7 I thought I'd take a look at the stats the project had gathered, I saw some centos devices, but couldn't find a rpm.

I've had a go at building one, it mostly works (this is my nagios box), it's a rebuild of the f7 source, I have to frig about with the spec file, so I've published my source rpm here, search for Nick in the .spec file, you'll see my bodge.

The smolt rpms are in my yum repo, feel free to download the packages and have a go.

rkhunter rpm for Centos / RedHat

nick — Sun, 29 Apr 2007 11:47:00 +0100

Whilst doing some routine maintenance, I noticed that I never published the rkhunter rpm I built, the software is officially supported at rootkit.nl but for ease I wanted a yum available rpm ;)

Tripwire 2.4.1.1 rpm for CentOS, Redhat ( RHEL ) 4

nick — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 13:28:00 +0100

Following a request I've rebuilt a later tripwire rpm (2.4.1.1); I think at this point it would be prudent to point out that the rpms found here are not maintained, and I do not offer any kind of support - you use them at your own risk - but you're welcome to make requests !

tripwire-2.4.1.1-1.i386.rpm

My Yum repo has also been updated, config file here :D

Yum Fun !

nick — Tue, 15 Aug 2006 14:46:00 +0100

This has been on my to do list for a while... I have finally converted my little reporsitory of rpm's into a proper yum repo !

The old xfce repo has been mergered into a new Whitebox repo, which in fact can be used for CentOS, WBEL or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

A new fedora repo exists as well, those with a keen eye will see new rpm sections for FC5 64_86 (my new pc!).

All packages will be signed with my gpg key, and config files can be found here:

linickx-fedora.repo

[LINICKX] 
name=LINICKX Fedora Yum Repo
baseurl=https://www.linickx.com/files/rpm/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgkey=https://www.linickx.com/files/GPG-KEY-NICK
gpgcheck=1

linickx-whitebox.repo

[LINICKX] 
name=LINICKX WBEL Yum Repo
baseurl=https://www.linickx.com/files/rpm/whitebox/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgkey=https://www.linickx.com/files/GPG-KEY-NICK
gpgcheck=1

copy the .repo's into your /etc/yum.repo.d dir and you should be away ! Let me know if you have any problems :cool:

Xfce 4.2.3.1 - I have a problem

nick — Wed, 09 Nov 2005 20:41:00 +0000

Sorry yum friends, when I saw the announcement from xfce about Xfce 4.2.3.1 I sighed, not because my love for xfce has changed, but I remember what I'd forgotten.

When my place of work moved office I lost my white box build server :-( as soon as I've got one, I'll get the rpms built, in the mean time please see www.xfce.org

wxPython2.6 for Fedora

nick — Wed, 19 Oct 2005 11:31:00 +0100

I'm in the process of trying to get working on Fedora Core 4 in the usual chase the dependency scenario you can easily get into I needed to build an wxPython package.

I hope these are of use:

Downloader for X... for FC3

nick — Sun, 26 Jun 2005 18:46:00 +0100

ok, so it's been a while since I've needed to rebuild an rpm, I guess it just goes to show what a good job those repo-boys are doing !

Well I've just noticed Solaris 10 is available and I needed a download manager. Normally the built in download manager in firefox will do, but today I wanted to be able to control the speed at which I downloaded ;) ... et voila d4x, an rpm hasn't been build since fc2 so I built one.

Here's a screen shot to keep you interested !

Gnome-Blog: A new RPM & way to post.

nick — Wed, 01 Jun 2005 16:19:00 +0100

I'm forever looking for ways to make things easier for myself ;)

Today I came across gnome-blog it's a small gnome applet that allows you to post direct from your desktop, Infact that's exactly how this was written ! (h)

The default FC3 rpm on seths website didn't install for me, it complained about a python(abi) dependancy - which I just couldn't find :( - I did however find this similar rpm which I installed before installing gnome-blog, so if you have problems installing my rpm, then this may help. ( http://dl.atrpms.net/\~/pythonabi-2.3.4-1.rhfc3.at.i386.rpm )

This is the screenshot from seth's site, although I can't work out how to preview like his !

Oh yeah - my rpm is here: gnome-blog-0.8-1.i386.rpm

XFCE 4.2.2 Released

nick — Wed, 18 May 2005 16:54:00 +0100

XFCE 4.2.2 has been released, and to be honest I've struggled to get the rpm rebuilds done... just no time :'( !

Anyway the official announcement was here [

http://foo-projects.org/pipermail/xfce-announce/2005-May/000021.html](http://foo-projects.org/pipermail/xfce-announce/2005-May/000021.html)

You can update your whitebox installation using [LINICKX].com ! Check that you have something like this in your /etc/yum.conf...

[LINICKX] name=LINICKX Yum Repo baseurl=https://www.linickx.com/files/rpm/whitebox/xfce-repo/

Then... from a shell do:

root@localhost \# yum update xffm\\\* xfwm4\\\* xfce\\\* xfdesktop

...and your done :cool:
