Re: swarm rpms

[pauljohn]

I will build you an rpm for i386 of the newest swarm snapshot. Look for
it by Friday 10am central time.

The swarm-2.1.1.tar.gz package you downloaded is the swarm release from
last year and we already have rpms available for that.  They are on
ftp.swarm.org.

Now, if you did download a new snapshot out of ftp, in the
/pub/swarm/src/testing directory, here is what you would do to build an
rpm with my spec file. You have to repackage the swarm source to match
an rpm style directory name.  So when I download swarm-2001-06-13, then
I untar that, check the VERSION file in the main directory, find out the
version is 2.1.75, then I rename the whole directory
swarm-2.1.75.20010613, and make it into a tar package
swarm-2.1.75.20010613.tar.gz.  Then the spec file I posted will build
that.


These are the little wrinkles you can master if you read the redhat
document Maximum RPM, which they have online.
