[Astlinux-users] 1.4 revisited

[Niksa B. <nik...@lu...>]

I downloaded the latest 1.4 branch and tried to build it. This time I 
took note of all problems I found and resolved, as follows:

1. Zaptel wouldn't build. I played with zaptel.mk until it worked. For 
some reason, it wouldn't build using "make -C", I had to cd to zaptel 
build dir and then it worked. I also had to build menuselect manually. 
While I was at it, I figured that menuselect should be presented before 
build, as there is no reason to build modules you won't need, so I 
included that, too. Patch file is attached.

2. func_curl wouldn't build, I just skipped it in menuselect.

3. app_conference wouldn't build, but, as Kristian pointed out, it is 
candidate for removal anyway.

4. flex wouldn't download, it took several retries, probably some 
problem with the server.

5. openssh wouldn't download, .mk file looks for file 
openssh-4.5p1.tar.gz, but it doesn't exist on server, rather 
openssh-4.6p1.tar.gz (perhaps a typo?). Changed the version in .mk file 
and it worked.

6. zoneinfo wouldn't download, similar as previous, files 
tzcode2007c.tar.gz and tzdata2007c.tar.gz didn't exist, but rather 
tzcode2007f.tar.gz and tzdata2007f.tar.gz.

That is about it. Also, two minor things:
1. package "netsnmp" was recompiled each time I ran "make", I didn't 
investigate why.
2. whenever some package couldn't be found on corresponding server, it 
was downloaded from astlinux site, but each time it was corrupted and 
couldn't be unpacked.

Hope this helps someone.
