well, I do have a few contributions. I do have everything to get Freemind 0.8.1 working on Centos. I had to pull together a number of pieces for that. Of course, who wants Freemind...
freemind mostly just worked for me, download and run sort of. did you need to do much more ? Although i am using Sun's JRE for this ( and a bunch of things like talend )
I had a yell of a time getting all the dependencies met when I built this 5.2 system.
But I have been working very hard of late on HIPL (HIP for Linux), doing the Centos testing for the HIPL team. Just need a place to put them.
Why not into CentOS ? Over the last few weeks, weve spoken about a slightly more open centos-contribs making a comeback. this sort a thing would fit in there perfectly.
I would love to do this. Right now you have to run HIPL in userspace, because of the ipsec BEET mode issue. I need to find time to get the patch to the 2.6.18 kernel working, and then to keep it current...
Along the way, I am finding ALL sorts of challenges. Particularly since I am sticking to IPv6. So I find that gFTP crashes over IPv6 using SSH, and no response to this problem from the gFTP developers.
people still use ftp ? :D
gFTP has an option to use scp (or whatever the file transfer over SSH is called). It works just fine over IPv4 as a nice GUI tool to an SSHD. But it just crashes when you run it over IPv6. I would really like to have a GUI for SSH file transfers over IPv6.
So I am having 'fun' here. Too much cruft to plow through. I SHOULD only be working with HIPL right now, but there is so much surronding stuff to sort out as well, mostly IPv6 related.
there have been a fair few people asking around about ipv6, I wonder if now is a good time to get some sort of a group together for that. eg. the state issues around iptables/ipv6 could do with some traction anytime now.
Count me in. I have LOTS that is not working. Also such joys as ignoring TTLs and keeping dns resolutions cached (which kills testing native IPv6 to the app over HIP).
One thing I am working with is a 'test' IPv6 dns domain. I now have the pieces to bring up a copy of BIND on a system that will be a caching server for the test system and provide a .test TLD for working out IPv6ish challenges.
First I ask to see if anyone else knows about what is available. Maybe my search terms are missing. Next I get on their mailing list and ask around there. Then I queue this up with all the other tasks surronding my HIPL project and see where it will fall in....
cool, I'd be happy to help with things from this side, if you need anything.
I build new RPMs fairly regularly (the HIPL project uses TLA for getting the source). Right now I have them on my local repo.
