For those who are eagerly awaiting it, Ice 3.3.0 will be released for Fedora Real Soon Now [TM].

Updates to Ice 3.3.0 (including the recent slice2cpp fix posted on the patch forums) are now available on Fedora 8 and 9 through updates-testing. To check them out, do the following. If you've already got the Ice 3.2.1 packages installed, then do this:

yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update ice\*

or, if you want to install them for the first time, do this (including the packages you actually want to use):

yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install ice ice-devel ice-java ice-java-devel [...]

Post here or file a bug at http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ if there are any issues. If everything is fine, this update will be pushed to the stable updates repository in a week or so.

Hi Mary,

Are you still the maintainer of Fedora Ice rpm ??

[mefoster]

Yes, I am ... if you're wondering, I'll probably package the 3.4 beta soon, but only for "Rawhide" (bleeding-edge development packages), not for F11 or F12 at this point.

Please let me know if you have any issues with the packages.

I found that there are few problems in the ice-servers:

1) The scripts /etc/init.d/icegridregistry and /etc/init.d/icegridnode use "ice" as the user but the rpm creates user "iceuser" in the system. So the script cannot start those processes.

2) In the config files /etc/init.d/icegridregistry.conf and /etc/init.d/icegridnode.conf, some config values are pointing to directory that does not existed. The reason may be due to that the rpm does not create corresponding directories in the system.

Would you double-check those problems of the ice-servers rpm in fedora 11 and 12? The version is 3.3.1. I installed them through the standard fedora yum repository. Thanks for your great help.

Hi Mary,

Thanks for your great help. Any update on it ??

[mefoster]

I've just pushed an update to Fedora 11 and 12 that should fix this -- sorry about that! The new packages should make it into updates-testing soon, or else you can download the packages from the Fedora updates system:

F11: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ice-3.3.1-3.fc11
F12: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ice-3.3.1-6.fc12

Let me know if this fixes the issue ...

Hi Mary,

Really thanks for your contribution for ICE in Fedora.

Hello all,

I've just built Ice 3.4.0 for Fedora 13 (currently approaching beta) and Rawhide (development packages). The 3.4.0 update will hopefully be in the Fedora 13 repository in the next day or two; you can follow its progress here:
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ice-3.4.0-1.fc13

Please let me know (through this site or bugzilla.redhat.com) if there are any issues.
