[RADIATOR] Patches after Linux RPM Installation

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Vangelis -

No you can't do this.

What I recommend is keeping all of the source distributions separate  
on your main staging machine and distributing from there.

Something like this using /usr/local/src for example:

	mkdir /usr/local/src/Radiator

	mv /tmp/Radiator-4.4.tgz /usr/local/src/Radiator

	cd /usr/local/src/Radiator

	gzip -c -d Radiator-4.4.tgz | tar xvf -

	cd Radiator-4.4

	perl Makefile.PL

	make

	make test

	**DO NOT** make install

	mkdir patches

	mv /tmp/patches-4.4.tar.gz patches

	gzip -c -d patches/patches-4.4.tar.gz | tar xvf -

	perl Makefile.PL

	make

	make test

	**DO NOT** make install

	perl radiusd -foreground -log_stdout -trace 4 -config_file /your/ 
Radiator/configuration/file

	.......


The advantage of this is it makes it very easy to switch between  
versions when/if you need to.

Once you have done all of your testing and so on you can either use  
rdist or similar and/or use "make rpm".

hope that helps

regards

Hugh

NB:

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive (www.open.com.au/archives/radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
Have you checked the RadiusExpert wiki:
