http://tinyca.sm-zone.net/ has the following:
"RPM for SuSE Linux 9.3 : tinyca2-0.7.2-0.noarch.rpm http://tinyca.sm-zone.net/tinyca2-0.7.2-0.noarch.rpm (Should work
with
the most current distributions) "
Will this RPM work on Centos 4.2?
Why not get the src.rpm and rebuild it?
I am not up to that skill level yet.
The one time I have done this (jpackage stuff), I got so messed up that by the time I 'got it right', I no longer had confidence in other aspects of the server, and just did a rebuild from scratch (but did use kickstart to make that step bearable).
So I will first look for a way to do things via rpms and leave the src stuff to others.
BTW, this is not my job. I am busy right now in IEEE 802.11s arguing that their security claims are improper, and are producing a false sense of risk avoidance. It is REALLY hard to get people to provide what seems like LESS security. Making them understand that less is actually more is a struggle.
So you go and build your stuff from your src, and I will go and build my protocols from my src (I am dyslexic and see all this stuff in 4D thought images that I have to translate into words).
Rebuilding a src.rpm is as easy as rpmbuild --rebuild somerpm-src.rpm
If it needs dependancies, you can yum install them and try again.
It is the best way of creating a distribution specific rpm.
