Ooops, link corrected. Sorry!

That's on the end of one my last todo lists for a company I work for. I gave it a go a couple times but had hardware issues with the card I was using in CentOS 5. Care to post the srpm?

Thanks! jlc

My bad, thought you had to modify the spec... There were some recent changes to a bz I was following that got resolved which got me thinking now that CentOS 6 is out I should get this done.

And without a whole lot of effort, this is doable with mock (as installed from EPEL; you can get everything you need by installing fedora-packager). You need the following packages in a local mock repo, all rebuilt with 'mock --rebuild' from the F15 source RPM's grabbed from an F15 mirror:

This was my first attempt to rebuild a source rpm. It worked, it installed and I'm stunned it runs. :-)

This weekend, I will pull my video capture card and install it in my new server. I don't see any reason, at this point, it won't work, unless there is a problem with this 32 bit PCI card.

What is a fedora-packager? It seems your method may be less time consuming as it took me several hours to 'look for' and install the dependencies.

perl-PHP-Serialization-0.34-2.el6.noarch.rpm perl-Sys-Mmap-0.14-3.el6.x86_64.rpm perl-Sys-Mmap-debuginfo-0.14-3.el6.x86_64.rpm

I had to install a lot more than that but it was a fresh CentOS 6 install that didn't have a lot of perl modules installed.

(the debuginfo not really required).

You'll need to use createrepo on the lock mock repo; edit the appropriate /etc/mock config (in my case, /etc/mock/epel-6-x86_64.cfg) to make the local repo have: baseurl=file:///path/to/your/local/repo/

In my case, this was /var/lib/mock/localrepo: baseurl=file:///var/lib/mock/localrepo/

I have nothing in /var/lib/mock

If you want CR included in the buildroot you'll need to add it to the mock config; you'll want to expand out the $releasever and $basearch yourself.

Also, you need to issue 'mock --install perl-Time-HiRes' since the F15 ZoneMinder package doesn't call that out as a buildrequires, but it is in fact required (F14 at least provides perl(Time::HiRes) in the perl package, but C6 provides it in perl-Time-HiRes). And you need to do the mock rebuild of the zoneminder source RPM with --no-clean after the mock --install...

OK, you just lost me.

But I was able to get this to build. I have not yet installed it; that's the next step.

It would be nice to have all the requires built into the .rpm as mailscanner provides but I'm sure that's some serious stuff I'd never be able to learn on my own.

Zoneminder is a nice application. I wish the CentOS Community could make it an 'extra'. Can't tell you the peace of mind I have when I'm out of town and can check on my furry, four legged children.
