RPM for Fedora and RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux 5-7

[Hansvon]

RPMs were updated to version 0.5.4: release notes. Also:

• Fedora 11 is dropped (End-of-Life reached)
• Fedora 14 rpm is available. F14 comes with Python 2.7, I don't know if SABnzbd is well-tested with 2.7 but it seems to run.
• RHEL 6 is also available for early-testers (not tested by myself).

Hi Hansvon,
SAB+ is going 0.6.0 beta any time now.
Would/are you considering to also add beta versions to your repo?
Thanks a bunch for giving us a nice fedora repo .
Cheers

[Hansvon]

Please bump this post when a beta is released. I'll try to release a package.

Extra-extra thanks to Hansvon
I'll keep you posted .
Cheers

I've just released rpm for version 0.6.0-Beta2. Its name is SABnzbd-beta. It's available for Fedora 13 and 14 and RHEL/CentOS 5. For RHEL/CentOS 5, it requires Python 2.6 from EPEL and a few dependencies from my repo. For RHEL 6, I can't build packages from my Fedora machine anymore... Don't know what's wrong.
To install the beta:

Code: Select all

yum remove SABnzbd
yum install SABnzbd-beta
if you use the daemon: mv /etc/sysconfig/SABnzbd.rpmsave /etc/sysconfig/SABnzbd

Please be careful. You should maybe backup your config files (cp -a ~/.sabnzbd ~/.sabnzbd-backup).

When you upgrade an existing 0.5.x installation, release 0.6.0 will use all existing settings and the queue.
However, you cannot go back your to previous 0.5.x setup.
If you want to run both versions side-by-side checkout the advanced options.

Thanks Hansvon

Thanks a bunch, typing "yum update" is so much easier than rebuilding...  Props to Hansvon.

For 0.60 under RHEL/CentOS 5.x, would it be possible to use Python 2.6 from EPEL ?  I would expect the contents of /usr/bin/SABnzbd could just be replaced with something like:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
cd /opt/SABnzbd/
python26 SABnzbd.py $*

but I haven't tested it myself.

I think I tried this once but failed for some reason. I'll try again next week.

About RHEL/CentOS5:
The problem with python26 from epel was that the python modules required by SABnzbd are not provided (yenc, cheetah, openssl).
My repository now provides these packages (python26-cheetah, python26-yenc, pyOpenSSL26).
Please try: yum install SABnzbd-beta. It should install all dependencies.

SABnzbd-beta updated to 0.6.0-Beta3: http://forums.sabnzbd.org/index.php?topic=6491.0

Repository is offline since a few days and for a while. It's hosted in Japan... I guess you have heard the news. Unfortunately, I don't have access to my backup so I can't upload the files somewhere else.

I'm getting an error when trying to update to SABnzbd-0.5.6-2.el5.noarch.rpm for CentOS5:

I'm not sure if this is because yum isn't handling the 301 forward to dropbox correctly or what.  Is anyone else having this issue ?
