HylaFAX The world's most advanced open source fax server |
Hi. In general, the rpm system is pretty good, especially for installing 'standard' components. I wonder if it would be possible to have the HylaFAX rpm(s) mail root with the setup documents, readme.rpm etc (or where to start looking for them) when the fax system is installed. This might help fewer people come to grief post-install. (especially if the rpm is loaded in anticipation of setting it up at a later date) Thanks, Michael -------------------------------------- Date: 10/12/98 8:15 AM To: Michael Firkins From: Nico Kadel-Garcia -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- A fast look over at the SUSE HylaFAX distribution for HylaFAX shows that the RPM for Linux uses the "xferstats" command. This conflicts with the command of the same name from the RedHat wu-ftpd distribution, which may not be an issue for SUSE users. I do like that the patches are all bundled up, and the installation notes in the source RPM: it is in some ways easier to cope with than those in the RedHat distribution due to that bundling. This is just a heads up for anyone who has to cope with it. Nico Kadel-Garcia Senior Engineer, CIRL Mass. Eye and Ear Infirmary raoul@cirl.meei.harvard.edu
