Re: [opensuse-project] Novell internal programs onNON-OSSrepository? (ie Novell Client)
From: Joe Harmon <jharmon@> are you sure about this? the 2.0 beta client for example installs on a 11.1 beta system (I'm on beta 5) with some hurdles (some symlinking). But the novfs for example simply can't compile (the client ships with 2.0.0-504, whereas in the kernel, 2.6.27.5 is 2.0.0-440).
The 2.0 client includes novell-novfs which will cause problems during the install because novfs is already in the kernel (since openSUSE >11.0) With the 2.0 SP1 client that we build for openSUSE 11.0, we removed novell-novfs. However, the 2.0 SP1 client for openSUSE will >not run on openSUSE 11.1 or SLE 11 due to some build issues. We are working on those build issues right now in hopes to soon have a >client for SLE 11 and openSUSE 11.1.
This argumentation sound very very flumsy... you report to much to managers I'd say :) As said, the novfs in the kernel is of an older version than the one shipped with NCL2.0SP1 (beta), and the newer novfs does not build (missing asm/semaphore.h, bailing out with semaphore.count afterwards). Besides that, I could install it (--nodeps on novell-xtier, due to libfd version mismatches.. some symlinking fixed it). Login works typically too. Joe, if there is anything anybody from the community can offer for this to move at a higher speed, please speak up. We are plenty out here, some with more, some with less knowledge, but all of us with a lot of will to get our targets moving.

The one in the kernel is newer to the one that shipped with 2.0 SP1. If it has an older version number then that is probably just a bug.

This is one of the build issues that we have fixed.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to have you help. The issue is that the components that are having the build issues are the closed source components. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
