1. Use the Add/Remove Software tool to install the 'Development Tools' package section.
2. Download these three files:
3. Install and launch rcd by running the following commands at a terminal:
su -c "rpm -Uvh rcd-2.2.0-fedora2.rpm"
su -c "/etc/init.d/rcd start"
4. Install and configure rug by running the following commands at a terminal:
su -c "rpm -Uvh rug-2.2.0-fedora2.rpm"
Now, wait for a few seconds (5 or so on broadband, 15+ on dial-up) before running the next command - rcd and rug need to download channel information.
su -c "rug sub fedora-2-i386"
You can now disconnect from the internet, if applicable.
5. Install remerge by running the following commands at a terminal:
tar -xjf remerge-2.1.1.tar.bz2
cd remerge
./configure
If you saw any errors in the output of the previous command (or the next two) that remerge's installer did not ignore, please email me at hortont@users.sourceforge.net with
the full text of the error and as much information about your machine and OS as you are willing to send me.
make
su -c "make install"
su -c "/etc/init.d/remerge start"
6. Launch your favorite web browser, and open the page http://localhost:6732.
You should see the remerge front page appear - if you do not, please email me at hortont@users.sourceforge.net.
You must now click on 'Sync Package Lists' and follow the on-screen instructions. When this is complete, have fun with remerge!
