hellanzb help...

[terry_gardener]

i am thinking of switching from ubuntu to fedora 12.
is there an easy way to install hellanzb which i use alot.
in ubuntu i use a script to install it and it makes it very easy.
i have attached the script i use in ubuntu is there a similar one in fedora?
if not please can i have step by step instructions how to install the software.

su
yum install hellanzb

Doesn't get much easier.

Indeed: it seems to be missing from at least one mirror. Hmm...

OK, well then, just download the RPM from Koji, and:
cd /PATH/to/RPM
su
yum --nogpgcheck localinstall hellanzb*

NOTE that Koji RPMs are not GPG-key signed, so the '--nogpgcheck' flag is required.

thankyou Hlingler

i downloaded from the site and installed using package kit.

did this before i seen your commands to install it.

seems to load and work but get 3 errors at the top. this doesn't happen in ubuntu do you know how to solve it.

[Hlingler]

Those are not errors - those are warnings, and seem to be expected: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486043

NOTE the comment from Fedora Project Maintainer about "upstream is essentially dead". This is perhaps why it's not in the repos (but it's also not flagged as "retired").

Does the application run ? EDIT: nevermind, I see that you say it does. I'd ignore the "warnings" unless you see problems at run-time.

You might also want to know/learn about LottaNZB and keep an eye out at that site for a F12 release. An F11 package is the most recent for Fedora.

[Hlingler]

Hmm... a generic 'noarch' RPM for F11. I'd give it a whirl on F12, it'll probably work.

P.S. I examined the LottaNZB F11 RPM, and it looks copacetic to me - it's got a menu launcher and all. Only an acid test will tell for sure.

Vince, I was just about to do an edit to my post to suggest just that, but you were real quick on the trigger.
