[CentOS] Looking for DirectFB 1.4.11 RPMs for 32-bit CentOS 6
Our current build process requires the directfb-1.4.11-3.el6.i686.rpm and directfb-devel-1.4.11-3.el6.i686.rpm packages, but they appear to be no longer available from the EPEL repo, and I can?t find them anywhere else either. If you have a local copy, or can point me to some other repo or web site that has these 2 RPMs, I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Alfred

Hello Alfred,> Our current build process requires the directfb-1.4.11-3.el6.i686.rpm and directfb-devel-1.4.11-3.el6.i686.rpm packages, but they appear to be no longer available from the EPEL repo, and I can?t find them anywhere else either. If you have a local copy, or can point me to some other repo or web site that has these 2 RPMs, I would really appreciate it.This is how you can find them: I went to the package directory: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/directfb/ They are all retired, but when you click on the builds status, you still see the old builds. click on the last build for Epel6, and you find https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=665511 which has the download links for all architectures. hope this helps, Timotheus

I was able to download directfb-1.4.11-3.el6.i686.rpm, but while I found an info page for the corresponding -devel package (https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=6502900), I could not find the actual RPM to download. I?ll keep poking around. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction... Alfred

This mysterious disappearance tickled my curiosity. Looked around a bit on the net, to find that wikipedia already knows what I didn't: Upstream has moved from www.directfb.org to www.directfb.net.
