Lire RPMS for Fedora platforms
------------------------------
These RPM sets are maintained by Wytze van der Raay <wytze@logreport.org>

The Lire RPMS for Fedora Core are available from a yum-able archive
for Fedora Core 4, Fedora Core 5, Fedora Core 6, Fedora 7, Fedora 8,
Fedora 9, Fedora 10, Fedora 11 and Fedora 12.

They are available respectively from:

    http://download.logreport.org/pub/rpm/fedora/4
    http://download.logreport.org/pub/rpm/fedora/5
    http://download.logreport.org/pub/rpm/fedora/6
    http://download.logreport.org/pub/rpm/fedora/7
    http://download.logreport.org/pub/rpm/fedora/8
    http://download.logreport.org/pub/rpm/fedora/9
    http://download.logreport.org/pub/rpm/fedora/10
    http://download.logreport.org/pub/rpm/fedora/11
    http://download.logreport.org/pub/rpm/fedora/12

Note that RPMS for the current Lire release (2.1) are only available
in the Fedora 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 repositories.

Requirements
------------
A few of the dependencies required by Lire aren't available in the
Fedora Core base or Fedora Core extras distributions, in particular:

    ploticus
    perl-Curses-UI

For the convenience of Lire's users, RPMS for the required depencies for
each version are available in the the same yum archive as the Lire RPMS.

YUM archive
---------------
You can use yum (http://yum.baseurl.org/) to track the Lire RPMS release
for Fedora Core 4 and higher.

To do so, add the file /etc/yum.repos.d/logreport.repo to your system
with the following contents:

[logreport]
name=LogReport - Fedora Compatible Packages (stable)
baseurl=http://download.logreport.org/pub/rpm/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.logreport.org/pub/rpm/fedora/RPM-GPG-KEY-logreport

[logreport-source]
name=LogReport - Fedora Compatible Packages (stable)
baseurl=http://download.logreport.org/pub/rpm/fedora/$releasever/SRPMS
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.logreport.org/pub/rpm/fedora/RPM-GPG-KEY-logreport


You can also download this file from:

    http://download.logreport.org/pub/rpm/fedora/logreport.repo

To support verification of GPG signatures of these RPMS (as implied by
the "gpgcheck=1" option n the logreport.repo repository description),
you will also need to import the signing key once into your system:

   rpm --import http://download.logreport.org/pub/rpm/fedora/RPM-GPG-KEY-logreport

Other Distributions
-------------------
These RPMS (as well as their dependencies) may or may not work on
other RPM distributions. It all depends on how they are identical to
Fedora Core they are. Important places where things may break are:
	
	- installed perl version
	- SGML/XML environment
	- user management

If your distribution isn't there and these RPMS don't work on it,
don't hesitate to send us an email on our development list
<development@logreport.org.>

Automatic Reports
-----------------
Automatic reporting in this RPM is implemented differently than in the
base Lire package. In standard Lire, you would use lr_config to
configure daily and weekly reports that would be generated by lr_cron.

This RPM will install a lr_vendor_cron script which will do similar
things but which is meant to be configured through package specific
configuration files dropped in /etc/sysconfig/lire.d

Also, contrary to lr_cron, lr_vendor_cron is run as root to have read
access to all log files (but Lire is still run as the lire user).

On Fedora Core, weekly reports will be sent automatically sent to
root for the following packages (if present):

apache, iptables, postfix, sendmail, spamassassin, squid, sysklogd, vsftpd

Lire can generate reports for other standard packages (mysql, LPRng,
cups, postgresql) but since the logging isn't configured in these
packages, there is no automatic reporting enabled.
