Hi

I think this page could be integrated into [[Ways_to_install_programs]]

= Software with no package for Mageia =

Sometimes we will want to use software for which there is at present no package for Mageia.

If the software in question is available in an rpm package, <some name>.rpm, for AlamaLinux, CentOS Stream, Fedora, Rocky, etc then it '''may''' be possible to install using the Mageia Software Installer or command line tools. However, often it is the case that needed dependencies are not available in Mageia. If the software we want is only available as a .deb package, <some name>.deb, then we cannot install it directly.

So, what can we do?

We have a number of options:

*[[Distrobox]] (not yet packaged but follow Wiki link) allows use of software intended for any Linux distro
*Alien (available from MCC) allows installation of Debian and Slackware packages
*Virtual Machine - QEMU (available from MCC) or VirtualBox (available from MCC) can be used to create a Virtual Machine for any operating system on which the software you want to use can be executed.
*WINE (available from MCC) - allows some Microsoft Windows&trade; programs to run in a Linux environment. This Wiki author has had limited success with WINE and has typically had to use a Virtal Machine (with Windows&trade; licence) Sturmvogel

‎How to install it?: changed dangerous su usage

To do a good job, we need good tools. Some of our servers are old, no longer powerful enough and have limited disk resources to meet the needs of developers. RPM manufacturing takes a long time and this is detrimental to the efficiency of maintaining and evolving the distribution. In short, the machines are well depreciated.

This is why our infrastructure is first getting a makeover. Better adapted to new technologies, it will allow our developers to work faster and more efficiently.

So where is this new infrastructure?

 We received 5 new servers:

– 2 new nodes for building packages: HPE ProLiant DL 360 Gen10 – 2xXeon 6126 (12C/2.6GHz) –

256GB RAM – 2xSSD 3.8TB HW Raid 1 – 2x10Gb/s NICs

– 2 servers to replace sucuk and duvel: HPE ProLiant DL 380 Gen10 – 2 Xeon 6126 (12C/2.6GHz) –

256GB RAM – 2xSSD 3.8TB HW Raid 1 – 10xHDD 12TB HW Raid 5 – 2x10Gb/s NICs

– 1 server for deployment and backup: HPE ProLiant DL80 Gen9 – 2xXeon  E5-2603v4

(6C/1.7GHz) – 256GB RAM – 6xHDD 6TB (donated, with some renewed parts)

– 1 Arista 7120T switch 20xRJ-45 10Gb/s 4xSFP+ 10Gb/s for interconnecting the machines

One of the ideas is to use the latest server to deploy quickly and as automatically as possible the construction nodes and other machines. The method is ready for x86_64 nodes and is being finalized for ARM nodes. The preparation of the servers takes time because the teams anticipate the future and future developments.

Once the preparation part of our servers is finished, the integration part into the Data Center will remain.

We are therefore taking our time to do things well in order to perpetuate the future and future versions of Mageia.

In the meantime, the future version 10 of Mageia continues to bubble in its cauldron! But we are not ready yet to plan a release date for the moment.

Feel free to come and strengthen our teams.

Para hacer un buen trabajo, necesitamos buenas herramientas. Algunos de nuestros servidores son viejos, ya no son lo bastante potentes y tienen recursos de disco limitados para satisfacer las necesidades de los desarrolladores. Se tarda mucho en producir los RPM, lo que va en detrimento de la eficacia del mantenimiento y la actualización de la distribución. En resumen, las máquinas están bien amortizadas.

Es por eso que nuestra infraestructura está recibiendo un lavado de cara. Más adaptada a las nuevas tecnologías, permitirá a nuestros desarrolladores trabajar de forma más rápida y eficaz. ¿Cuál es el estado de esta nueva infraestructura? Hemos recibido 5 nuevos servidores:

· 2 nuevos nodos de construcción de paquetes: HPE ProLiant DL 360 Gen10 – 2xXeon 6126 (12C/2.6GHz) – 256GB RAM – 2xSSD 3.8TB HW Raid 1 – 2x10Gb/s NICs.

· 2 servidores para reemplazar sucuk y duvel: HPE ProLiant DL 380 Gen10 – 2 Xeon 6126 (12C/2.6GHz) – 256GB RAM – 2xSSD 3.8TB HW Raid 1 – 10xHDD 12TB HW Raid 5 – 2x10Gb/s NICs.

· 1 servidor de despliegue y copia de seguridad: HPE ProLiant DL80 Gen9 – 2xXeon E5-2603v4 (6C/1.7GHz) – 256GB RAM – 6xHDD 6TB (una donación, con algunas partes renovadas)

· 1 switch Arista 7120T 20xRJ-45 10Gb/s 4xSFP+ 10Gb/s para interconectar las máquinas.

El plan es utilizar el último servidor para desplegar los nodos de construcción y el resto de máquinas de forma rápida y lo más automática posible. El método está listo para los nodos x86_64 y se está ultimando para los nodos ARM (servidores remotos). La preparación de los servidores lleva su tiempo, ya que nuestros equipos se anticipan al futuro y a los futuros desarrollos.

Una vez finalizada la preparación de nuestros servidores, el siguiente paso será integrarlos en el Centro de Datos. Por lo tanto, nos estamos tomando nuestro tiempo para hacer las cosas bien y poder asegurar el futuro y las futuras versiones de Mageia. Por el momento, no publicamos una fecha de lanzamiento provisional para Mageia 10.

Mientras tanto, ¡la futura versión 10 de Mageia sigue burbujeando en su caldero!

This program drives the Alps Micro-Dry series of printers, including the Citizen Printiva series, Alps MD series, and Oki DP series (but not yet the DP-7000). In the current release, the program drives the standard mode fairly well; the dye sublimation mode very well; and the VPhoto mode reasonably well. It supports all the colours available up to the DP-5000, including the foil colours.
