rcd 2.0
rug 2.0
red-carpet 2.2
open-carpet 0.1
Hi,
Trow and I talked incessantly about it over Guinness at GUADEC,
and it’s finally ready for human consumption: rcd 2.0, rug 2.0,
red-carpet 2.2, and open-carpet 0.1 are now available.
ABOUT THIS SOFTWARE
(or, What is this thing you call love?)
The Red Carpet Daemon (rcd) is a system daemon which provides
users access to the underlying packaging database. Through an
XML-RPC interface, clients can view the database, and with
sufficient permissions install, remove, and upgrade packages. The
daemon also provides a very powerful dependency resolver which
removes the headaches of software management.
Rug is the command-line client interface to rcd. With it you can
browse software through channels, install and remove packages, and
get package information. It also includes “power features” like
package history, locks for preventing certain updates, and package
rollback.
Red Carpet is a GTK-based graphical client which uses the daemon
to provide a friendly interface for managing software.
Open Carpet is a set of tools to create package metadata so that
anyone with a web page and some packages can set up a Red Carpet
service.
MULTIPLE SERVICE SUPPORT
(or, It’s a big world out there.)
These new versions of rcd, rug, and red-carpet allow you to now
use any number of Red Carpet services, including ones set up by
third-parties using the Open Carpet tools. This opens up the Red
Carpet system to a very large body of software provided by the open
source community that isn’t shipped with Ximian products or your
standard Linux distribution.
In rug, you can add new services by using the “rug service-add”
command like so:
rug service-add http://open-carpet.org
In Red Carpet, you can add services by going to Edit ->
Services.
OPEN CARPET SERVICE
(or, Can I install perl-Device-Regulator-Plasmatronic?)
To illustrate the convenience and power of the new multiple
service support, there is a Red Carpet service at http://open-carpet.org which makes
available to rcd users a large number of existing Apt RPM
repositories, including FreshRPMS, the Fedora Project, NewRPMS, Dag
Wieers’ Apt RPM repository, GStreamer, ATrpms, ExtRPMs, Jpackage,
and RPMPAN.
If you know of an Apt repository not listed there, or run an Apt
repository and would like to add a Red Carpet service, please
contact us and we’ll be happy to oblige.
HOW TO GET IT
(or, Gimme gimme gimme!)
If you are already running rcd, you can get the new versions of
rcd, rug, and red-carpet from the “Red Carpet 2” channel. If you
upgrade, PLEASE UPGRADE ALL THREE PACKAGES AT ONCE, THEN RUN “rug
restart” AFTERWARD. Unfortunately old versions of rug and
red-carpet will not work properly with the new version of rcd, nor
will the new rug and red-carpet work with an old rcd. If you don’t
follow these directions, you’ll need to use rpm to do this by hand.
We’re sorry about the inconvenience and promise it won’t happen
again.
Otherwise, you can download packages for a variety of
distributions from ftp://ftp.ximian.com/pub/redcarpet2.
You can also find information on getting the source to the Red
Carpet client components by visiting the Ximian developers site at
http://developer.ximian.com/projects/source
You can get Open Carpet packages, source and more info on the
project at http://open-carpet.org
