Обсуждение: [Q] (S)RPM for 1.6.1
I just looked again but still don't see either a SRPM or RPM for PGAdminIII 1.6.1 I see enough messages to get the feeling there are still a few gotchas in the release. I've tried several times and methods to create a RPM but keep coming up against a wall of missing *-static libraries. Rod --

So why not statically link it? The code has worked just fine for months - there's no technical reason why RPMs cannot be built. Regards, Dave

Stable wxWidgets was just released -- this is the technical reason that we don't have 1.6.X RPMS. As we talked before, pgAdmin 1.6 is built on a non-stable version of wx until wx 2.8.0 was released. Apart from that, people will want to build pgadmin from SRPM. In that case, they will still need binary packages for wxWidgets. Basically: I don't want to release 1.6.X RPMs that are built against non-rpm version of wx. But I can say that 2.8.0 RPM is near --so pgadmin RPM is. I'm following the FC extras lists closely for that...

The vast majority of releases of pgAdmin have relied on non-stable releases of wxWidgets - in fact, I think the *only* series that did actually use the stable releases was 1.4. With 1.0 we had our own fork of wxWidgets, and for 1.2 we recommended 2.5.3. Anyway, I'll leave it in your expert hands. Whenever I use an RPM based linux distro I seem to end up with an irrepairably corrupted RPM database anyway, so I try to stay clear of them altogether now :-p Regards, Dave.
