How about you install Centos 5.4 in a virtual machine and run Swarm in there? 
I've got RPMS for that.

Just Kidding :)


I have been meaning to see about building packages for newer Ubuntu and Fedora. Honestly, I don't see how anybody could 
like Debian packaging. I always complain about it.   Right now, I've just tried to build a deb package on a 64 bit 
ubuntu system for swarm -2.3.0 and have run into some troubles.  I succeed at building it for 32 bit, though, on Ubuntu 
8.10.

I'm not completely sure if you can or can't run the 32 bit version on your 64 bit system.  In Fedora, back when I used 
to have that, there was a multilib setup that would work.  You can test and see for yourself.

I am going to see if I can learn how to use svn and get the current Swarm.  I believe the 64 bit problems have been 
worked out, and I also gather from MGD's post yesterday that he had made some progress on the newish tcl/tk/blt.

I just need to decipher the "branches" and whatnot.  I was just starting to understand CVS after 10 years and then SVN 
happened.

If I get some packages, I'll make an announcmenent here.
