# RedStarPackages

 Red Star OS 3.0 Updates and additional Packages



# Contents

Packages built (currently with a mix of GCC 4.4.0 - 6.2.0) for  

Red Star OS 3.0 to update system components and provide additional  

packages not included in the base system.   



Red Star OS 3.0 is loosely based on Fedora 11, so we can reuse a   

lot of the upstream spec files for RPM building and configuration  

to get sane approximations of what is included that we can't   

otherwise properly deduce.  



Each created package will have the matching SRPM to allow building  

for yourself, as red star did *not* include SRPMs.   



Anything below that does not list an RS3.0 default version was not  

included in the binary packages or distribution at all. Anything notated  

Included means that identical version was already there, but missing  

components.

# Install notes



Currently, there's some unresolved file conflicts, Eventually  

we will want to fix this with a higher version so that we can just upgrade  

straight from an online repo. For now we can force installations to get into  

a better 'known' sane state with these packages when upgrade time comes  

until we can get into such an online repo upgrade capability.  From the  

looks of things so far, I believe that will be when we can start tackling  

FC15 packages and have OpenSSL to a version past 0.9.8 which will involve a  

lot of rebuilds and broken packages initially.  

  

Any package without notes will just install via rpm -i or rpm -U as appropriate  

  

libtermcap and termcap should NOT be needed anymore, but because of RS3.0's very  

interesting mix of packages and versions .... we have to work around it until we   

get to a unified base of some type that allows us to remove them.  



File is built using standard fedora files, so we must due to conflicts  

use rpm -i --force for file-libs RPM, then rpm -U file will work. After  

file-devel and python-magic can install.   



Elfutils is another package that wants to have circular dependancies  

so we go anead and rpm -i --force --nodeps elfutils-* to ensure all  

packages are consistent and same version Even though currently we have  

the same exact version rebuilt that is included in RS3 anyway.  



For all else, some --force, --nodeps, or --replacefiles may be required as needed if   

not noted for now. Some things may be needed to uninstall such as the libtermcap  

and termcap items in order to allow newer installations such as ncurses to proceed.  



After forcing bash to be installed, I had to re-run rpm -U libtermcap to make it work
