Re: [Ltib] patch: nss-mdns, Avahi, dbus, libdaemon

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Fritz,

I looked into this briefly and the problem is that the autobuilder is 
deliberately running on a very old linux distro (Redhat 7.3 IIRC) this 
is to keep ltib backward compatible.  Anyhow avahi is requiring a 
version of Perl in configure that is newer than that on the 
autobuilder.  I suspect this is not a hard requirement, so I patched one 
platform which I think built okay.  I need to take that patch and apply 
it to all and then the autobuild should work for the other platforms.

More concerning are the failures for gstreamer plugins.   The 
autobuilder was off for a long time (a long story involving house 
re-wiring) and when it came back, the gst-* were failing.  I recall that 
these have been updated.  Eventually when get time I'll dig into this 
(unless someone else can reproduce a failure an knows the answer).

Regards, Stuart
