Install chmsee 2 for Fedora

Fedora already upgraded xulrunner related packages(Firefox/thunderbird) to v8.0. but chmsee package not yet catch up.

so need to pull the fresh codes and compile for myself.
https://github.com/jungleji/chmsee/tags
check the following packages installed.
xulrunner-8.0-1.fc15.x86_64
xulrunner-devel-8.0-1.fc15.x86_64

compile the src and write a short script for generated app:

/home/suse&gt; cat `which chm`
#!/bin/sh
LANG=

xulrunner /home/suse/workspace/chmsee/application.ini "$*"

/home/suse> cat `which chm`

#!/bin/sh

LANG=

xulrunner /home/suse/workspace/chmsee/application.ini "$*"

Poor Yum Repo: OracleLinux6

I’m now working on an Oracle Linux 6U1 x64 box, planning to inst new 11R2 image.

Problem hit here.

we can see that glibc.i686 <tip: just add arch. tag to install related pkg.> cannot be resolved for glibc-common label check failure.

it’s funny but not worse, ORCL even doesn’t provide glibc-common.i686 package…
http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/1/base/x86_64/

It should be a bug here….

WorkAround:

1. pull glibc package from weburl glibc-2.12-1.25.el6.i686.rpm.
2. # yum localinstall glibc-2.12-1.25.el6.i686.rpm
3. # yum install unixODBC-devel unixODBC-devel.i686
4. continue…

Notes….
Poor Yum repo…especially on x64 platform day’s, mixing with i686 libs.

Emerald package has retired

It’s so long time to issue yum-update on my F15 boxes.
found the emerald packages already removed from repo…

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=emerald.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/master

[Workaround to continue running Emerald:]
just go back to 0.9.4~
1. Download essential packages:
[x86_64]

wget http://mirrors.reflected.net/fedora/linux/releases/15/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/{compiz-0.9.4-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm,compiz-gtk-0.9.4-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm,ccsm-0.9.4-1.fc15.noarch.rpm,compiz-plugins-main-0.9.4-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm,compizconfig-python-0.9.4-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm,libcompizconfig-0.9.4-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm,emerald-0.8.5-0.4.git90c9604441.fc15.x86_64.rpm,emerald-themes-0.5.2-6.fc15.noarch.rpm }

wget http://mirrors.reflected.net/fedora/linux/releases/15/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/{compiz-0.9.4-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm,compiz-gtk-0.9.4-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm,ccsm-0.9.4-1.fc15.noarch.rpm,compiz-plugins-main-0.9.4-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm,compizconfig-python-0.9.4-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm,libcompizconfig-0.9.4-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm,emerald-0.8.5-0.4.git90c9604441.fc15.x86_64.rpm,emerald-themes-0.5.2-6.fc15.noarch.rpm }

[i386]

wget http://mirrors.reflected.net/fedora/linux/releases/15/Everything/i386/os/Packages/{compiz-0.9.4-1.fc15.i686.rpm,compiz-gtk-0.9.4-1.fc15.i686.rpm,ccsm-0.9.4-1.fc15.noarch.rpm,compiz-plugins-main-0.9.4-1.fc15.i686.rpm,compizconfig-python-0.9.4-1.fc15.i686.rpm,libcompizconfig-0.9.4-1.fc15.i686.rpm,emerald-0.8.5-0.4.git90c9604441.fc15.i686.rpm,emerald-themes-0.5.2-6.fc15.noarch.rpm}

wget http://mirrors.reflected.net/fedora/linux/releases/15/Everything/i386/os/Packages/{compiz-0.9.4-1.fc15.i686.rpm,compiz-gtk-0.9.4-1.fc15.i686.rpm,ccsm-0.9.4-1.fc15.noarch.rpm,compiz-plugins-main-0.9.4-1.fc15.i686.rpm,compizconfig-python-0.9.4-1.fc15.i686.rpm,libcompizconfig-0.9.4-1.fc15.i686.rpm,emerald-0.8.5-0.4.git90c9604441.fc15.i686.rpm,emerald-themes-0.5.2-6.fc15.noarch.rpm}

2. Remove current 0.9.5.0 compiz related packages.

rpm -qa | grep 0.9.5.0 | xargs rpm -e --nodeps

1	rpm -qa \| grep 0.9.5.0 \| xargs rpm -e --nodeps

3. install the RPMs downloaded above.

4. edit the /etc/yum.conf to block compiz/emerald related updates.

 echo "exclude=ccsm* compiz* compizconfig-python* compiz-gtk* compiz-plugins-main* libcompizconfig*" &gt;&gt; /etc/yum.conf

1	echo "exclude=ccsm* compiz* compizconfig-python* compiz-gtk* compiz-plugins-main* libcompizconfig*" >> /etc/yum.conf

Well now I’ve blocked updates on compiz and libreoffice… is there any more?
