There is a new Web Application Stack that I would like to get the RPMS for into CentOS Plus. I am trying to get the upstream provider to the provide these SRPMS to their public FTP server, but so far they are not there: https://www.redhat.com/archives/nahant-list/2006-October/msg00053.html These RPMS would be a major add to CentOSPlus .... as they would provide an enterprise web stack with update support. I am just not sure if or when the source is going to be released. So, that being said, I am looking for a way that the CentOS team can have access to those SRPMS to build this for the CentOS community. The way would be to have someone donate a RHWAS license to the CentOS Project. The CentOS Project does not charge for our product and our only revenue stream is donations. If someone donated a license to the project, we could access the files and build RPMS for all the files that are redistributable. If the SRPMS are later added to the public FTP server, the license would not need to be renewed. If someone is interested in providing this license, I can be contacted off list concerning this matter.

You don't need a Red Hat subscription to get any SRPMs from RHEL. The GPL requires that they provide them for free. I believe that applies even th RHWAS, since that's still based on GPL'ed Linux code. You can get RHEL RPMs here ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/4/en/os/i386/SRPMS/ -- Prentice -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Greg Swallow - SkyNet Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2006 1:36 PM To: 'CentOS mailing list' Subject: RE: [CentOS] RHWAS rebuild efforts jim bartus wrote:> Nothin?

As I understand it, all CentOS wants is someone with a RedHat subscription to provide to them the SRPMS which have a distributable license. The RedHat subscription for the application stack looks to be $1999 for one year - https://www.redhat.com/apps/commerce/cart.html?store_cart:add_item_cb=SVC023 9 Greg _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos The contents of this communication, including any attachments, may be confidential, privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.

Just tell me we did get all the SRPM, a donation, or something ;-) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If this is necessary, then be it so. How would be this wiki? "How to install several versions of JDK from various vendors"? We need to know the wiki's "requirements". -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
