Redhat Upgrade procedure - waiting for stable on rpmfusion

Post by xztraz »

Hi!

Nice to see some development! :D

i'm a bit confused on how to update a RH sys.

https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/st ... edhat.html
says you should use rpmfusion for stables.

and release doc says to use zmrepo.

is 1.34 being submitted on rpmfusion soon or do i need to do some shenanigans against zmrepo and get some nightly build..?


in zoneminder gui
You are running the most recent version of ZoneMinder, v1.32.3. No update is necessary.

That was typo in the release notes, which has been fixed.
RPMFusion only has ZoneMinder releases and Zmrepo only has nightly builds of ZoneMinder.

If bleeding edge is what you want, then switch to zmrepo and get 1.34.0 + changes right now.
If releases are what you are after, then you simply need to wait. In the next week or so 1.34.0 release will show in RPMFusion.

Alright thanks for the info :)

I'll just wait for 1.34 to show up at rpmfusion then.

Redhat has thrown a wrench into the works. In their infinite wisdom, they thought it a good idea to remove the libssh2 package with the release of el 8.1.

The vlc package needs libssh2, and ZoneMinder needs vlc... so until this is resolved, there can be no ZoneMinder for el8 in RPMFusion.

As a workaround, if you are willing to manually fetch the libssh2 rpm and install it on your local machine, you can then mock build a ZoneMinder package on your own.

el7 is building now:
http://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=379749

If everything turns green, then the ball is in the court of the RPMFusion admins, who will submit the package to their testing repo.
It will sit in testing for 1-2 weeks, probably just 1 week.
