-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone! I have put together necessary RPM's for ifolder3. ifolder3 enables users to do file-sharing and synchronizing of such folder-contents over a network. See http://www.ifolder.com for details. I am aware of the package review process as I am already a maintainer in fedora-extras, but the thing which holds me back are potential issues because this implementation is based on mono. I am not sure if there is already a consensus about permitting extras contributors to provide mono-based packages. I have only found one discussion in fedora-list about this problem: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2006-January/msg01049.html The other thing is that this are 5 packages for only the client and one additional package for the ifolder3-server (which I have _not_ packaged yet) and that I have momentarily not much time at hand to maintain them all. So perhaps there is someone who could take some of these packages. In any case, you can find the SPEC-files and SRPMS here: http://www.noltec.org/open-source/ifolder3/ The packages needed for the client part of ifolder3 are: log4net, libflaim, simias, ifolder3, nautilus-ifolder3 Currently I have some known issues with the packages (see the SPEC-files also) and it would be great if anyone could tell me how to solve these: 1. The separation of the normal and devel subpackages do not work somehow. I have to install both of them because otherwise the .so files are missing and nothing works. This regards libflaim/libflaim-devel, simias/simias-devel and ifolder3/ifolder3-devel 2. ifolder3 and nautilus-ifolder3 contain one lib each with a standard rpath. Giving --disable-rpath to the configure scripts does nothing to this problem. In effect these two packages must be built with exporting QA_RPATHS=$[ 0x0001 ]; 3. I've had some weird issues with compiling simias and ifolder3 using make %{?_smp_mflags} (which expands to make -j3 on my build machine). The build would fail all the time with compiler-errors. Using make without smp-mflags solved this problem for me. So that's basically it. As mentioned before I have not put together a server package and as it turns out ifolder3 is currently pretty useless without a server because the p2p sharing is being worked on and is not available in the client. Furthermore the mDNSResponder-Code which simias uses to announce ifolder's on a network is for now only available in CVS. I also don't know if it works with avahi. A quick search for using ifolder with avahi shows this discussion: http://www.mail-archive.com/avahi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg00146.html For now I see all this as some preliminary work which perhaps could be of help to someone who also wants to package ifolder for fedora. Perhaps we could work together on doing so. Best regards!
