[Barry-devel] [Announce] Binary packages available via OpenSUSE Build Service

[Chris F. <cd...@fo...>]

In addition to the usual binary package releases on Sourceforge, binary
packages for Barry are now also available using the OpenSUSE Build Service.
You can find the packages at this URL:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ndprojects/

Binary packages for the latest Barry release will be maintained here,
as well as periodic dated snapshots of CVS, to make it easier for users
to test and follow along with development.

Currently, binary packages are available in 32bit and 64bit versions,
for the following distros:

        CentOS 5
        Debian Etch (stable)
        Fedora 8
        Fedora 9
        Mandriva 2008
        RHEL 5
        SLE 10
        Ubuntu 7.10
        Ubuntu 8.04
        openSUSE 10.2
        openSUSE 10.3
        openSUSE 11.0

This list of distros will change over time, as new versions are released,
and old ones are retired.  This list of supported distros will depend on
the administrators of the OpenSUSE Build Service, as well as my time to
integrate with any new distros that are made available on their servers.

Depending on your distro, you may even be able to add this URL to your
package manager, as a yum repository, etc.

Basic supporting packages are included depending on the distro.  For
example, Debian Etch only comes with opensync 0.19, so opensync 0.22
is available in the same directory as the Barry packages.

Additional binary packages such as msynctool and various opensync
plugins are not yet available, but depending on interest, I may add them
as well.

These binary packages have been compiled on OpenSUSE Build Service's servers,
which uses Xen to setup and tear down unique distro environments for each
build.

Please be sure to report any bugs you find to the barry-devel mailing list.

Enjoy!
