[BlueOnyx:04740] Re: Install questions

Hi Benjamin,

> 1) Will the current BlueOnyx run on a 64-bit Centos installation?

No, BlueOnyx on CentOS 5 (5106R) is (and will remain) 32-bit only.

> If not, any ETA on the 64-bit version? 

We're currently working on BlueOnyx on CentOS 6.0, which will be available in 
a 32-bit version (5107R) and a 64-bit version (5108R). 

ETA? Shortly after CentOS 6.0 will be available, which will be sometime this 
fall. 

Our official YUM repositories are populated with an early set of RPMs of alpha 
quality for both 5107R and 5108R. But so far these are just a partial builds 
which are only good for testing and has quite a few loose ends that we still 
need to tackle.

We have a development blog up on the BlueOnyx website from which you can track 
our progress on that:

Yes.

The tarball installer checks for missing dependencies and will either tell you 
what's missing, or will fetch it for you through YUM.
