New EFW Community 2.5.1 Repositories

[Guest]

I've created some new repositories for EFW Community 2.5.1.

There are three repositories: release, updates, and addons.  Each repository has two actual repositories, one for RPMs, the other for SRPMs.

The release repository just contains the binary RPMs you get when you use the Developer Environment I created to build the SRPMs from Endian.  It also contains the SRPMs used to build those binaries.  This repository is intended to allow users of the Developer Environment to install the necessary *-devel RPM packages without having to build all the packages from the SRPMs.  Please don't use it to download any RPMs or SRPMs that are also available from the Endian update site or SourceForge.

The updates repository is currently empty but will contain packages which replace packages that ship as part of EFW, either to fix bugs or provide additional features.

The addons repository has packages that are in addition to, rather than replacements for, standard packages.  It currently contains wget, subversion (with http support), iftop, fping, and nmap as well as their dependencies.

Full instructions and links to more information are available at the root of the repository tree: http://repo.opensource-sw.net/efw.  The repositories can be browsed using repoview, the links are included in the previous URL.

I've added a script that adds/removes/enables/disables the channels for repo.opensource-sw.net.

Also I added NFS client support, install the package nfs-utils from the addons repository.

Dear Robert,

How can I install/upgrade from these repositories into my EFW through its command line?

[robert]

Did you read the instructions in the first message?  Did you read the instructions after following the link?

[pty]

Thanks your reply.
Yes, I did.
I used the script and enabled all repositories. How can I use the repoview? I don't have this app on my EFW.
This is my exact problem.

Any plans to update this to 2.5.2? I am trying to install a new driver for my Broadcom 57788 NICs and I can't do it on 2.5.2 as there are no kernel headers available!

I need to kernel headers. How can I found or build them?

Great to see people hacking FD code

You can also type CtrlAltSpace to display the same completion list as you get after new or :. Isnt that enough?
