aurora 1.0 --> fc2 for sparc

cybrjackle · #1 21st June 2004, 04:51 PM

Just wondering if anyone uses sparc hardware and has sucessfully updated aurora 1.0 to Wombat (aka fc 1.91) ? Since there aren't any iso's my update is going slow and painful, a lot of packags don't want to update and i've been doing them one bye one, (sometimes a few at a time) Here is one of the big dep problems i keep getting:

Code:

# yum upgrade newt
Error: Cannot find baseurl or name for server 'updates'. Skipping

package kudzu needs libnewt.so.0.50 (not provided)
package lokkit needs libnewt.so.0.50 (not provided)
package timeconfig needs libnewt.so.0.50 (not provided)

Here is what is in my "yum.conf"

Code:

#baseurl=http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/yum-rpm/aurora/1.0/sparc/updates/
#baseurl=ftp://auroralinux.org/pub/aurora/updates/1.0/$basearch/sparc/

I have been changing these two values to see if that makes a diff on some packages

exactarch=0
exactarch=1

I've updated about 90 rpms in total. Anyone have any "luck" here?

I noticed the board has "PPC" & "AMD64", just curious if you (Moderators) have thought about supporting "Sparc" too?

I see: you're trying aurora.

Try running

Code:

yum provides libnewt

By the time i get this upgraded, i could have had gentoo back on here and updated.

Well Dr. I think we have a winner

Code:
