Yellow Dog Linux

Hi everyone,

Firefox ESR 10.0.7 was released. No sign of it yet in the CentOS archives. I'll post YDL optimized SRPMS when they're available.

Cheers,
Paul

....and - the CentOS SRPMs are up. I've gone ahead and fixed them for YDL, then I tested them by generating a build for YDL for CUDA. billb - I've gone ahead and uploaded the files to the usual place - including my modified SRPMs. I'll send you a PM with the location. I think these SRPMS should work without modification on PowerPC YDL.

Cheers,
Paul

Building now ...

xulrunner built and installed OK, and the firefox rpm build OK, but I get this when trying to install:

Tried both --rebuild from SRPM and -ba from .spec with the same result.

Did you try running /usr/sbin/prelink --undo --all before doing your rebuild?

I read about that here
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8004&p=41509#p41519

from somebody named billb

By the way - if you had done that before, cron will re-prelink in a day:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8004&start=30#p41526

Ha! I knew that situation was familiar!

Yup that took care of the problem -- thanks for the reminder. Will update to Firefox ESR 10.0.7 on the regular ps3bodega repo for YDL 6.2 as soon as I have a chance.

Also, no problems with rebuilding straight from your SRPMS this time.

Excellent, billb - thanks for building that.

I made sure my SRPMs didn't include any parenthesis. xulrunner.spec just needed the RHEL 6 logic flipped, as we discussed earlier, but the firefox.spec needed parenthesis removed from *all* clauses, in addition to the 6 flip. ><

Hopefully, doing the builds on 'Cuda to get the logic right for 6.2 saves you a bunch of time. Well - at least until I get my PS3 build environment straightened out.

Cheers,
Paul

10.0.7 is up on the ps3bodega repo for YDL 6.2 now.
