fedora_frog-1.0-8.0.1 RPM for i386

From SourceForge / f / fe / fedorafrog

This Bash program provides the Linux administrator an easy way to install
applications not installed by default during a Fedora Core installation
procedure, and applications that are not part of the standard distribution.
It also tweaks some configuration items. Additional repositories are required
beyond the normal Core, Updates, and Extras, and they can be added using
Fedora Frog as well.

Frog offers options to install additional fonts including the new Red
Hat Liberation Fonts which are metric replacements for MS TrueType Core Fonts.
It also offers the MS TrueType Core Fonts and other TrueType fonts.

Fedora Frog is currently supported on Fedora 7 and 8. Support for Fedora
5 and 6 have been removed as those repositories are no longer available.

The frog.user program is for users on a "Frogged" system to install certain
configuration changes and desktop updates for their accounts.

Changelog

* Mon Nov 19 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - Resolved a logic error when testing to determine whether
    a patch needs to be applied to Adobe Reader.
* Sun Nov 18 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - Added check for chkfontpath RPM as prerequisite to the
    TrueType core fonts
  - Minor fix to install Acroread patch on Fedora 8.
  - Added more program options:
    - mc Midnight Commander file manager
    - GNUCash financial software
    - Kaffeine multimedia player
* Sat Nov 10 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - Added basic support for Fedora 8. Does not barf but may
    not have all fixes necessary for Fedora 8.
  - Removed support for Fedora Core 5 and Core 6. The repos
    for those releases are gone or will be very soon.
  - Fixed removal procedure for repositories.
* Sun Sep 16 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - Minor fix to install Acroread patch on Fedora 7 with 
    Xen kernel.
* Sun Aug 05 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - Added xine-lib-extras and xine-plugin to Xine install. 
  - Main frog welcome screen revised to use dialog command.
  - Adjusted dependencies so that removing Amarok does not
    remove xine-libs which forces removal of xine.
  - Made "ynq" proc case statement instead of if-then-else.
* Sun Jul 01 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - Fixed so that main Frog welcome screen does not show for 
    options like help and Version. Minor changes and fixes.
* Tue Jun 19 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - Remove -y param from yum remove commands. Forces end user
    to look at each removal to ensure it is what she wants. Due
    to some circular and other entangled dependencies that
    end up deleting much more than anticipated.
* Sun Jun 17 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - Install patch to acroread, Adobe Acrobat Reader startup
    script to prevent endless loop of syntax errors. Only
    install this patch on FC6 as acroread appears to work
    correctly on Fedora 7.
* Wed Jun 13 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - Add HelixPlayer as standalone add and as prerequisite
    for Amarok.
* Tue Jun 12 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - Replace old Livna repo installation with RPM installation
    of Livna repo for each version of Fedora.
* Sun Jun 03 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - Added Fedora 7 to Allowed releases. Still may be some bugs
    but it now won't die on Fedora 7. 
  - Fixed case statement so it WOULD die on any other
    non-supported versions.
  - Removed Dries repo for conflicts. Everything needed is no
    in other repos. We actually delete it from the repo
    directory so it cannot affect updates.
  - Added a Yum check for RPM installed. Slower but can use
    file globbing. Currently only used to check for Open Source
    Java which seems not to follow standard RPM naming
    conventions.
* Wed May 30 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - Fixed some bugs that prevented some items from being installed
    or deleted. The dialog command adds backslashes to spaces so
    broke the searches.
* Tue May 29 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - Converted from GUI to TUI using "dialog" so Fedora we can 
    be used remotely in a text mode environment. Deleted Zenity
    asrequirement and added dialog.
* Sun May 27 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - Added Red Hat Liberation Fonts. Metric equivalents to MS TT
    Core fonts. We leave the MS TT Core fonts as an option. Also
    the RH Liberation fonts are installed by default in 
    Fedora 7.
* Sun Apr 08 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - Added code to request root password if not started as root.
    Code submitted by James Lawrence.
* Mon Mar 26 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - Added zenity as a requirement to the RPM.
* Sat Mar 24 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - Change series of if-then-else statements to determine FC Release
    into a case statement to make adding more release versions 
    easier.
  - Other minor fixes.
* Thu Mar 22 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - Make YUM installation of updates optional.
  - Other minor fixes.
* Mon Mar 12 2007 David Both <dboth@users.sourceforge.net>
  - First version of Fedora Frog packaged as an RPM.
  - Should work for both FC5 and FC6.
  - Removed much cruft.
  - Split the code into more managable pieces.
  - The non-root user code split out as frog.user which allows
    non-root users to do desktop configuration steps.
  - Split the video drivers so that they are displayed individually
    on the menu only and only if the related adapter is installed.
  - Split the font installations. Basic MS Core fonts and Hunky
    Fonts are now separate. Removed installation for non-english 
    fonts. May add these back in with separate choices for each
    but adding them all in one swell foop does not make sense as 
    it takes much time and disk space.
  - Added separate checks for Open Source and Sun Java.
  - Added positive checks for each installed package for both
    install and delete to ensure that only the packages that
    need to appear in the menu for add or delete do so.
  - Removed the installed.log file as it is no longer needed to 
    keep track of installed packages.
  - Removed installation for some packages that are license
    or functionally challenged.
  - Removed all GUI interface interaction except for initial
    Add/Remove selection menus. Will remove these next time and
    replace with "dialog" to make remotely executable.
