Need older sakura source

astrogeek · 01-01-2012, 04:04 AM

Hi all,

I have wanted to try sakura but never got around to it - then I saw it mentioned in another thread here today so decided to try it.

I must build and use it on a SW 12.1 box, but the newest versions won't build, even after bringing vte up to more recent version, and I cannot find an older sakura source - 2.3.7 being the oldest on the project server.

The SBo 12.1 build script calls for sakura 2.2.0 but I have been unable to find it online anywhere...

Does anyone have sakura-2.2.0.tar.bz2 archived where I can reach it?

Thanks

EDIT ****

Alternatively, if you know of a way to build a later version on SW 12.1 I am open to that as well. I would not want to udate glib2, and I now have vte at 17.2 - so within those general parameters would be good.

Well, there is the following page in my google results: http://sisyphus.ru/en/srpm/Branch5/sakura/spec
Then you go there and find the link to download src.

Code:

$ wget ftp://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/5.0/branch/files/SRPMS/sakura-2.2.0-alt1.src.rpm
...
$ rpm2tar sakura-2.2.0-alt1.src.rpm
$ tar vtf sakura-2.2.0-alt1.src.tar
drwxr-xr-x nausicaa/yume     0 2012-01-01 19:29 ./
-rw-r--r-- nausicaa/yume 30657 2008-06-20 05:01 ./sakura-2.2.0.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- nausicaa/yume   990 2008-08-04 15:48 ./sakura.spec
$ tar xf sakura-2.2.0-alt1.src.tar
$ md5sum sakura-2.2.0.tar.bz2
452b5059f5dc37a3845ec11a0e46b5b1  sakura-2.2.0.tar.bz2
$ # matches one mentioned in slackbuild.

Thanks. I had thought of finding it in a src RPM and tried the sisyphus link but became frustrated with the slow scripted download links... better luck today and MD5 checks (another concern)!

I now have sakura 2.2.0 running - looks good - a basic tabbed terminal emulator - just what I was looking for!
