[Linux-decnet-user] Debian packages

[Patrick C. <pa...@ty...>]

I have just uploaded the new DECnet progs package to the Debian master machine
so they should hit unstable quite shortly. If anyone is running Debian unstable
and a 2.4.1 kernel then maybe you would like to try the following in the next
week or so:

apt-get update
apt-get install dnet-progs

This should download, configure and install the following set of packages:

dnet-common 2.08-1
libdnet     2.08-1	
dnet-progs  2.08-1

There is also a libdnet-dev 2.08-1 with the programming libs and headers.

The increased version number really only reflects the new debianisation (though 
there is a small metadata fix in FAL). Expect to see the version numbers
skyrocket as I fix problems with the package and update it. If you're not on
Debian then don't worry too much about getting out-of date - most of the updates
will be Debian-specific and any that are not will be folded into a new "general"
release sometime when the Debian one has stabilised. Of course the full changes
are available in CVS.

If you do try the new Debian installation please let me know how you get on even
if it's just a quick note to say "OK" !
