Safe EL6 yum repo with feh?
Hi all,
first the actual problem. I've been looking for an image viewer for EL6 that will display a png file and automatically reload it every 5 seconds. There seem to be a number of candiates. First I used display from imagemagick with with the -update option but found a massive memory leak that will fill 8 Gigs of ram/swap in 24 hours or so. In hunting for a replacement I found that feh works perfectly on a Debian machine but that it is not in the standard Scientific Linux 6 repos. So, I'm trying to find a reliable yum repo that provides the image viewer feh for CentOS/SL/RHEL 6. My usual starting place for finding such repos is http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories. None of the repos in the "Community Approved Repositories" section provide it, nor can I find it in any of the "Other Third Party Repositories". A feh package does seem to be at repoforge, but the CentOS wiki page I link to above has it listed as a "Known Problem Repository" and states " Although once recommended, this repository is no longer maintained, and is not advised." I tried enabling repoforge and installing feh on a virtual machine and it needs to pull in giblib from repoforge and imlib2 from epel. I'm considering going ahead with this and then immediately disabling repoforge. Does anyone know of a better place to get feh or has any advice on using repoforge? Or alternatively knows of an image viewer that is available for EL6 and will perform as I need. Please note that this is for a cluster of production workstations that are on an internal network. Thanks, Evo2. |

i an assuming this is from a vireo feed ??? have a look at gmic http://gmic.sourceforge.net/ -- mostly replaced imagemagick for me it also has tie ins to video 4 linux and can output right to xorg no need to pass it to a second program or to "display Code:
gmic test.png there are no rpm's for cent you will need to build the source but if gimp builds then these will rpmforge is a LOT better with 6 it was a pain in the rear for rhel5 most of the multimedia is in rpmforge BUT you really should install and CONFIGURE "yum-priorites" plugin see the cent wiki http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities |

After confirming this works (survives upgrades etc) on bare metal I'll mark this thread solved. Thanks for your input. Cheers, Evo2. |
