ACHTUNG: Die Pakete befinden sich im Verzeichnis "suse-10.1-ham.extended"... Bitte fügt dieses Verzeichnis als Installationsquelle hinzu. (Server: http://dg7gt.osth.de). Die alte Installationsquelle werde ich in den nächsten Tagen entfernen. vy 73 de Tim, DG7GT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello alltogether, i added some more packages to the SUSE HAM Repository.

Hello Curt, if you have a xastir.spec file for 10.0, please just send it to me, and I will compile the package and integrate it into the repository. But you will need to be a little bit patient, because the next 4 days I'm on holidays... 73 de Tim, DG7GT P.S.: I will drop a notice on the suse-ham-e list when new packages are ready for download....

hamradio packages for SUSE Linux 10.1
by Tim Fischer 14 Jun '06

14 Jun '06

Hello, during the last days (and nights) I recompiled all ham radio packages (except tnn) for use with SUSE 10.1. I also added some packages and I am planning to add a few more (like hamlib, xlog, and dream). The installation source for the packages is at: http://dg7gt.osth.de/suse-10.1-ham/ There are packages for i586 and x86_64. Most of the rpms are based on the original ones from Joerg Reuter, DL1BKE. In some cases I had to apply some minor patches to get them compiled on the new SUSE release. I also updated some of the packages to an newer version, for example soundmodem, which is now v0.10 and was v0.1 before (that's really a difference, believe me ). Package kpsk and qgrid were added to the installation source. You can use the above directory as an Yast Installation Source. If you are missing "libax25", please get it from an official SUSE mirror. I recompiled the packages in my spare time, and most of them are untested. But if you find any errors, feel free to contact me, perhaps I am able to correct them. Have a lot of fun with hamradio 73 de Tim, DG7GT -- Tim Fischer Mail: <mail0812(a)online.de>

W1NR SUSE 10.1 package problem
by Mike McCarthy, W1NR 10 Jun '06

10 Jun '06

If you are running OpenSuSE 10.1, you are probably aware that the package manager and updater is very broken. A patch was released today to fix most of the problems. It requires that you use the YaST Online Update (YOU) to get the new patches. (Zenworks crashes so it can't be used and other issues). If you have my old Hamradio packages for 10.1 or the older 10.0 as an install source, YaST Online Update will crash because there are no "directory.yast" files present. The old 9.3 and 10.0 systems didn't care, but 10.1 does. Also, you can't just go into installation sources and delete it. Again, due to bugs in both YaST and in my original distribution. To get around the issue, go to YaST->Installation Source. When the message appears about using an unsigned package, select NO. There will be another error, so click OK on it. Then select "Finish" and the old Ham Radio package will be gone from the list. YaST Online Update will now run and update itself along with all of the Zenworks files and libraries. I have recreated the package directories and iso images with "directory.yast" entries where they are needed. This now allows you to add an ftp installation source using my ftp site. I also have recreated the iso images. See ftp://ftp.w1nr.net/suse-ham/10.1-i386 for direct installation directory and ftp://ftp.w1nr.net/suse-ham/W1NR-SUSE-10.1-Ham-i386.iso for the iso image. You will know if you are using the new files if my call sign "W1NR" appears in the installation source description. You will also notice after the update that the message about using an "unsigned" source will only appear once, when you set it up and check the "don't tell me again" box. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Also remember that these are a temporary fix for the missing libax25.so file on the CD's and DVD's. There is a libax25.so rpm package if you use an ftp installation source to one of the 10.1 mirrors under "inst-source" directory. 73 de Mike, W1NR
