[rt-users] Fwd: RT RPM for Mandriva?

[Evan Waite]

To start off, sorry about the html email, our web email client doens't allow us to switch to plain text (and I'm not at work right now).
 
As for running RT on Mandriva, I'm currently running RT3.4.2 on Mandriva LE2005 (Apache2 and FastCGI).  Here's what I've done to get things working.  Using a combo of Mandriva "main" and "contrib" perl rpms and then finishing things with CPAN modules then a standard install of RT (no RPM for that I'm aware of either).
 
Here are links to the RPM versions of all your missing modules (minus the SearchBuilder which you can get off CPAN).
 
(watch for wrapped lines)
perl-Log-Dispatch-2.10-1mdk
ftp://mandrake.mirrors.pair.com/Mandrakelinux/official/2005/i586/media/contrib/perl-Log-Dispatch-2.10-1mdk.noarch.rpm
perl-XML-RSS-1.05-1mdk
ftp://mandrake.mirrors.pair.com/Mandrakelinux/official/2005/i586/media/main/perl-XML-RSS-1.05-1mdk.noarch.rpm

ftp://mandrake.mirrors.pair.com/Mandrakelinux/official/2005/i586/media/main/perl-Apache-Session-1.6-1mdk.noarch.rpm
perl-HTML-Mason-1.28-2mdk
ftp://mandrake.mirrors.pair.com/Mandrakelinux/official/2005/i586/media/contrib/perl-HTML-Mason-1.28-2mdk.noarch.rpm
perl-Params-Validate-0.76-1mdk
ftp://mandrake.mirrors.pair.com/Mandrakelinux/official/2005/i586/media/contrib/perl-Params-Validate-0.76-1mdk.i586.rpm
 
You might need some deps for these RPMs but if you have URPM configured with a Contrib and Main source, you'll be fine.
 
Reply if you have any more questions.

Since I can't seem to locate an RPM for Mandriva, I guess its back to the
harder way.  As I mentioned I'm having trouble at fixdeps, which I understand
isn't an RT issue, but rather a perl issue.  For some reason which I haven't
yet been able to figure out, fixdeps isn't installing the missing CPAN
modules as it should.

Currently I'm missing the following:
MASON dependencies:
        Params::Validate 0.02...MISSING
        HTML::Mason 1.23...MISSING
        Apache::Session 1.53...MISSING
        XML::RSS 1.05...MISSING
        HTTP::Server::Simple::Mason 0.09...MISSING
CORE dependencies:
        DBIx::SearchBuilder 1.26...MISSING
        Log::Dispatch 2.0...MISSING


I've already run perl -MCPAN - e shell without trouble, but fixdeps refuses
 to install those missing modules.  If I try to install them manually I get
 the same problem of course.  I've never messed with perl before so I'm not
 even sure what I'm looking at when I review the mountain of text that
 results from "perl -MCPAN -e 'install HTML::Mason'".

The final bit of it simply says
"1 test skipped.
Failed 27/28 test scripts, 3.57% okay. 92/92 subtests failed, 0.00% okay.
make: *** [test] Error 255
  /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK
Running make install
  make test had returned bad status, won't install without force"

reading back up through the text shows that there was a problem early on, but
I don't know enough to decipher what that problem is exactly.

So....... can anyone point me in the right direction here?  What should I be
looking for to correct whatever this problem is?

I'm running Mandriva LE 2005 with perl-5.8.6-6.1.102mdk installed.  Thanks
 for any hints here.

 I've been investigating ticket tracking applications lately and I'd like to
evaluate this one a little further.  Since there doesn't seem to be a
pre-packaged mandriva install, I had tried my luck with the manual install
method.  I ran into what seems to be a fairly common problem with fixdeps
judging by the mailing list archives.  So I figured I'd pause and see if
anyone has either made, or knows where a mandriva rpm package for RT can be
found.  

If not I'll go back to solving the technical problems, but I'm hoping theres
 a simpler way right now actually.  So, anyone heard of a Mandrake RPM for
 this?
