Does anyone have an RPM for usermin that works with Centos 4.0? I got the webmin RPM from the DAG repository but usermin isn''t there and the "standard" RPM from sourceforge doesn''t install.

Why not grab the SPEC from SourceForge.... Grab the tar.gz and build it? Refer to other usermin.src.rpms for details. ;) On Mon, 7 Mar 2005 03:50:54 +0100 (CET), Dag Wieers <dag@wieers.com> wrote:> On Sun, 6 Mar 2005, Ed Clarke wrote: > > > Does anyone have an RPM for usermin that works with Centos 4.0?

the webmin developer has stated that at least webmin willl directly support centos 4 in its next release. I ahve webmin running here on my centos 4 box using hte tar file. Just tell it redhat enterprise linux 4 when it asks you which os you are running..it runs fine.

On installation they move around files that are not part of the RPM and on uninstallation they remove those files instead of letting RPM take care of everything. (summary: they run an installer tool in %post and remove things they know about in %postun) That''s why there''s also a big incompatibility between my package (that does it right) and the official package (that I tell people never to use). I''ve been in contact with the webmin people and they agree, but haven''t fixed it. (Because it is very hard to fix at this point) The Webmin installation process (and I expect the Usermin installation to be no better) are simply not designed for packaging. If you need more details, take the official SPEC and my SPEC and simply compare :) Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag@wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]
Fair call... though it still leaves Ed in the dark. :( On Mon, 7 Mar 2005 15:01:23 +0100 (CET), Dag Wieers <dag@wieers.com> wrote:> On Mon, 7 Mar 2005, Matt Bottrell wrote: > > > On Mon, 7 Mar 2005 03:50:54 +0100 (CET), Dag Wieers <dag@wieers.com> wrote: > > > On Sun, 6 Mar 2005, Ed Clarke wrote: > > > > > > > Does anyone have an RPM for usermin that works with Centos 4.0?
