[Swarm-Support] Re: Swarm on Fedora Core 5

[Paul Johnson]

Greetings, Crile and others:

I have RPMS that do work on FC5.  I have been doing some testing.  Some 
updating to the Swarm source code was necessary and the fixes are most 
obvious for Objective-C, but  maybe it just seems that way to me because 
that's the part I understand best.  MGD sent me a patch that makes java 
programs work too, but he said that more fiddling might help this in the 
future.

The RPMs have a swarm version number 2.2.2.   They have a few little 
fixes that are not in Swarm CVS yet, but will be soon enough.  I believe 
CVS does compile now as it is.

So I will post them on my site on tomorrow or Monday.  I'd do it right 
now, but I'm traveling in Chicago, Illinois, and connectivity is not 
super great.

WHen these things get posted, they will be on my new site 
http://pj.freefaculty.org, but I think if you go to the old KU address 
http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn  you will get forwarded to the same place.
