From: Sean Reifschneider <jafo-pythonlist@tummy.com> To: python-list@python.org Subject: ANNOUNCE: New Python 2.0 RPMs Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2001 02:25:16 -0700 I've just uploaded a new set of Python 2.0 SRPMs to: ftp://ftp.tummy.com/pub/tummy/RPMS/SRPMS This is the release that will be going on the February KRUD (http://www.tummy.com/krud/), so it should be very compatible with RedHat 7.0. You'll want: python-2.0-2tummy.src.rpm expat-1.1-3tummy.src.rpm Changes include: Builds to /usr/bin/python2 or /usr/bin/python "try before you buy" One-line .spec file change between the two. Better compatibility with RedHat/KRUD 7.0 Expat puts xmlparse.h in /usr/include/expat/xmlparse.h to prevent a conflict with w3c-libwww-devel. Builds socket module with SSL support. Now includes proper bsddb support (Oops, I didn't have db1-devel last time) Also in that FTP directory are some SRPMs for some Python modules, though the mx* ones seem to have problems that I need to track down. python-imaging and Sketch seem to be working well though. BUILDING SRPMS Turning an SRPM into a binary RPM is easy. Simply run: rpm --rebuild expat-1.1-3tummy.src.rpm and when it completes look in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 (default) for the binary. This builds a binary RPM *EXACTLY* configured for the set of libraries on your system. Think of it as building from the .tar.gz file, only better... :-) Sean -- I love the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like... Victory.
