Where are the RPMs?

  • warning: include(/tmp/fortune.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mohawksoft/org/www/htdocs/includes/common.inc(1696) : eval()'d code on line 1.
  • warning: include(): Failed opening '/tmp/fortune.txt' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home/mohawksoft/org/www/htdocs/includes/common.inc(1696) : eval()'d code on line 1.

Mohawk Software has received a number of requests for RPM packages of MCache. If someone wants to be involved and donate a pre-packaged RPM, space can be made on the download page for it. If they also wish to donate the RPM generation scripts, those can be included in the source as well.

There is no plan to directly support binary distribution in any form other than through the community. There are too many versions and distributions of Linux (Not to mention FreeBSD, Solaris, Windows and Mac OS/X) and they spin the upgrade cycle far too quickly for Mohawk Software to develop software *AND* support binary releases.

If someone wants to set up a business relationship and provide equipment to support their specific hardware and/or OS to generate a binary install package, that's a different matter, but generating and testing a number of debs, RPMs, and other packaging schemes for the various versions of SuSE, RHEL, Fedora, Debian, FreeBSD, Solaris, Windows, etc. is a distraction from Mohawk Software's core software development business.
