Is this going to be fixed? Been a few weeks with no word.. still missing
the /etc/redhat-release file.

I created a version of whitebox-release (whitebox-release-3.0-5.1_i386.i386.rpm) so that I could compile several files that checked for /etc/redhat-release. It worked for everything I tried it with.

The rpm provides /etc/redhat-release and /etc/whitebox-release ... so there is a redhat-release and programs that evaluate redhat-release also work.

You can download the rpm and see if it fixes this problem as well. I have it available here:

WhiteBox Downloads

I don't actually have a pressing need for this (or I would have done it myself or made more noise), but I'd like to see this fixed in the main tree in the long run. --- Jesse From donavan@whiteboxlinux.net Sat Jul 3 19:31:51 2004 From: donavan@whiteboxlinux.net (donavan nelson) Date: Sat, 03 Jul 2004 13:31:51 -0500 Subject: [WBEL-devel] wbel.net round 2 Message-ID: <40E6FB97.4070708@whiteboxlinux.net> Greetings again, whiteboxlinux.net is up again with new IP addresses. Please see the news on the front page for full details of the problems with my move. If you can't open the page, do a dns lookup on whiteboxlinux.net, if you get a 216.x.x.x addresss, that's the old one. I could provide the new IP here, but it won't help you as I'm running apache in virtual mode so it depends on the domain name you requested. Hitting the IP address gives you a nasty gram. :) Please take a minute and provide feedback on the performance of the site as well, particularly your initial hit.

Not sure why, I moved them all in via scp from the buildhost, but the srpm didn't have read access for anyone except owner.

Ok, this one bugs me enough I'm wondering if it justifies pushing up a patched version of metacity instead of waiting for RedHat to get around to it in U3. I know I'll be adding this patch to my own copies, but should it go into the mainline?

Actually that one is destined to get the RH doc packages, clustering, eclipse, GFS and other packages hatched by RH but not appearing in the RHEL SRPM collection. Might need to have a channel for grey area patches. Need to define its focus narrow enough that it can't grow much. Probably limit to patched versions of packages already shipping. Existing 3rd party repos for RHEL/WBEL packages should be the proper venue for most packages that add functionality. -- John M. http://www.beau.org/~jmorris This post is 100% M$ Free!
