Re: [Ekiga-list] Ekiga for stable OS releases

[Alan Sill <Alan Sill ttu edu>]

Hi,

Yes, this is exactly the problem!  The snapshots do not have anything  
for the stable branch of the "Red Hat"-like distributions.  Fedora  
Core is based on the unstable branch and is also no longer  
supported.  CentOS and RHEL (as well as Scientific Linux, which is  
quite like CentOS and is provided by the large labs such as CERN and  
Fermilab) use the stable branch.  The FC4 variant does not install or  
play well on the stable-branch distributions.

We could boil down this request to provide a CentOS 4 - compatible  
snapshot rpm package.  That would be very helpful.

Thank you,
