Fedora Gpsdrive RPMs

I've started building RPMs for Fedora Core 7 from the current CVS source for gpsdrive. I build them every few days, as the fancy takes me. These are Strictly Experimental. You are responsible for finishing the installation, e.g. by setting up the database.

They are signed with my public key, which is available on the index page of this web site, or on key servers everywhere. Or get it like so:

rpm --import http://charlescurley.com/ccurley.asc

There is No Warranty; you are on your own; we're from the government and we're here to help you; don't call us, we'll call you; etc., etc. Support, if any, is via the gpsdrive mailing list. I will not answer questions about these RPMs except on that list.

The status is as follows:

Binary
I have not tested at all. I've had good results in the past, but these are the first RPMs I've built since December, so I consider them untested.
Debug
Completely untested.
Source
Completely untested.

MD5 sums:

48004871963f52ce609b9f9868ca3a33  gpsdrive-2.10svn1484-1.i386.rpm
00cefa5681628c465c5e4b21fc074f6b  gpsdrive-2.10svn1484-1.src.rpm
13e4047c53dce88390554393efaa8dbf  gpsdrive-debuginfo-2.10svn1484-1.i386.rpm

SHA1 sums:

43aaae7000744dcb6b42bf8123e531c64b5819d5  gpsdrive-2.10svn1484-1.i386.rpm
e0f7c7500442762b51f99ac6a4e3aac5d0662ff8  gpsdrive-2.10svn1484-1.src.rpm
9651b0e819a3ce3c74e991117db356604dfa9427  gpsdrive-debuginfo-2.10svn1484-1.i386.rpm

To ensure that you got a good download, validate the files against the checksums above. The easiest way to do this is to pull in the sha1sum or md5sum files (or both), and run the appropriate program against it:

sha1sum -c sha1sums

or/and

md5sum -c md5sums

Using the Things

You will need gdal, now available in Extras. You will need gdal for source and binary, gdal-devel for the source. Install gdal like so:

yum install [gdal-devel-1.3.1-2.i386.rpm] gdal-1.3.1-2.i386.rpm

You may need some perl modules (like Text::Query). If so, get cpan2rpm from extras and use it to build the appropriate rpms, e.g.:

cpan2rpm Text::Query

You will probably also want gpsd, which is available from extras. You may also want my gpsd launching script.
