[Nautilus-list] Using Eazel Installer for hourly builds? This will help you...

[Eli Goldberg <eli eazel com>]

Hey!

#1: There's a bug in the PR2 Nautilus installer which will cause it to
fail to download hourly builds. If you'd like to continue to download
hourly builds, you can download the current release PR3 installer
release candidate (virtually identical) from
http://nautilus.eazel.com/testing/dogfood/eazel-installer.sh

#2: The Nautilus installer is now pulling the hourly PR3 candidate
builds. These have a different naming system, and may cause the
installer to fail if you've used hourly builds. (The installer thinks
the hourly builds are newer than the PR3 builds.)

    Robin Slomkowski put together a quick script for PR2 which will
forcibly remove all existing Eazel packages and dependencies, so that
you can use the installer successfully.

    It's received only very quick testing by a few people at Eazel, use
at your own risk, yada, yada.

    Please note that your system will be left in a broken state due to
the removed RPMs, and you will need to use the Eazel Installer
immediately after you run the script.

    The script is at
<http://nautilus.eazel.com/testing/force-update-nautilus.sh>.

    To use it, copy it to your hard drive, 'su' to root, and type into a
command line:
    sh force-update-nautilus.sh

    For more information, type:
    ./force-update-nautilus.sh --help


    When the script is done, it may launch the installer, telling it to
download PR2. Press "Cancel", and relaunch the installer
with the usual command line flags (--server=triggerfish.eazel.com
--port=8888) so that it downloads a PR3 candidate instead.

    *** You may also need to run this script tomorrow, because Robin
will be temporarily removing the dates from the packages for PR3. ***

#3: Yes, the hourly RPM download page is temporarily out-of-date. Sorry.
QA maintains it, and we're all a bit busy testing right now. ;)
