Nightly RPMs (Fedora)

Post by iarnell »

Since I lost the ability to make builds at work (the powers that be tightened up the proxy servers - I can't do cvs over http proxy any more), I've had to start building at home again. And in doing so, I though how nice it would be to have nightly RPMs. So, I grabbed the 0.7 SRPM from Fedora Stable and had a look at the spec file. Seemed easy enough to convert it to make nightlies.

The build details are basically the same as Fedora's: XFT, GTK2, MathML, Xinerama all enabled. Standard -O2 -g -pipe -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 optimization. It also has the Fedora patch for 'less annoying default plugin'.

If you want to give them a try, they'll be available here (also mirrored at pryan's site). If you're interested, the spec file is also available.

If you still want to build at work, you can get nighly source snapshots for thunderbird and firebird at http://matrix.netsoc.tcd.ie/~maxhead/mozilla-source/

I only have space to store a few days worth of tarballs though...

Thanks for the offer, but my ISP also just upgraded me to a 2Mbit line, so it's not too much of a hardship doing it at home.
