Where is NetworkManager 0.7

When can we expect Networkmanager 0.7 in testing? It is already there in Suse and Fedora I think...
I am saying I want it there, but just curious when will we see it.
Thanks

Re: Where is NetworkManager 0.7

Because it's not out
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/NetworkManager/

If the aforementioned distros are including newer versions, they're getting it from CVS.

Re: Where is NetworkManager 0.7

Remember Fedora and Suse tend to be a bit more bleeding edge when it comes to packages they develop themselves or know very well.

Re: Where is NetworkManager 0.7

Ya i was just surprised when I read about SUSE features in digg and just assumed since I am on Arch testing repository that I would have it. I was a little shocked to see the version number.
Well I know we will have it soon, let them enjoy being bleeding edge for some days...;)

Re: Where is NetworkManager 0.7

i've been running nm 0.7 from svn for some weeks now and it's pretty usable and stable. i talked to dan and it's quite likely 0.7.0 will be out next month, so it's not too far away

Re: Where is NetworkManager 0.7

It's on AUR. But, it did not work for me. Will 0.7.0 have a CLI interface?

Re: Where is NetworkManager 0.7

nm 0.7 needs wpa_supplicant 5.10 built with dbus support or else it won't work.
i have made svn pkgbuilds for libnetworkmanager, networkmanager and gnome-network-manager which work. i can post them when i get home in about 4 hours if you like.

Re: Where is NetworkManager 0.7

here is the stuff i use.
i don't have any webspace atm, but whatever... http://rapidshare.com/files/110347084/nm07.tar.gz.html

i haven't bothered adding a sed line to the wpa_supplicant pkgbuild, which sets a wrong path in the dbus .service, so just edit /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.blaaaaa.service to point to /usr/sbin instead of /sbin...

i simply commented out all md5sums, check them for yourself, if you want them. i don't care

Put them on AUR please. I hate rapidshare and their idiotic captchas.

Re: Where is NetworkManager 0.7

If you only have a PKGBUILD and no file attached you can use http://pastebin.com
And that's true their captchas are not human solvable. Or only few of them are.

Re: Where is NetworkManager 0.7

It needs PolicyKit as well. Way too many bloody dependencies.

Re: Where is NetworkManager 0.7

After a lot of failed attempts, I got NetworkManager 0.7 (svn) running on Arch.  There are some issues, but it connects to the network!  One perk is that I can connect to the wireless network at work, though I couldn't with 0.6.6.  Here are the steps I took:

*installed dbus-glib 0.76 using ABS (NM 0.7 requires at least dbus-glib 0.75)
*installed PolicyKit 0.8 from AUR
*installed wpa_supplicant using baze's wpa_supplicant pkgbuild (which enables dbus support)
*installed networkmanager-svn using my pkgbuild
*installed networkmanager-applet-svn using my pkgbuild
*ran gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ post-install (could be added to a networkmanager-applet-svn.install)
*added "wpa_supplicant -u" in rc.local (shouldn't be needed, but for some reason NetworkManager does not successfully start dbus).
*changed a bunch of policy files in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ (For each NM related file, I copied the section for root, pasted it below but with my username.  There's probably a better way.)

I can post the PKGBUILDs I created for networkmanager-svn and networkmanager-applet-svn if anyone wants to see them.  They are based off the instructions here and here.

Re: Where is NetworkManager 0.7

I was waiting for this for too long, but after i learnt how to use netcfg2, I think I will never go back to these gui tools with shit load of dependency.

Re: Where is NetworkManager 0.7

0.7 was in fedora 8

And yet it is still not offically released...  It won't make its way into Arch until it is.

Re: Where is NetworkManager 0.7

I don't know if it's a good thing to wait that long. Obviously, almost everyone now uses NM 0.7 and I don't think the 0.6 branch is still maintained (haven't checked this information though). The thing is I suspect that the 0.7 version is a bit more usable (especially if it comes to VPN).

What could possibly take this long to release it?

Re: Where is NetworkManager 0.7

I just checked http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ … nager/0.7/

NetworkManager-0.7.0.md5sum                27-Nov-2008 02:36  125
NetworkManager-0.7.0.tar.bz2               27-Nov-2008 02:36  1.1M
NetworkManager-0.7.0.tar.gz                27-Nov-2008 02:36  1.5M

Does it mean on 27th November 2008, NetworkManager 0.7 has been officially released? And we will be seeing it in arch soon?

How do I flag it out of date? I guess some one needs to do it.

That post was in April....  I'm sure it is flagged out of date now.
