We will try to keep this page updated as the development of NAV moves along. Note that the numbers does not count Cheetah nor Django templates, which is a large portion of the code base. Also, the contrib tools and the Prefuse Java library bundled with NAV (it contains more Java code (~40k LOC) than NAV itself) are not counted. text/html 2010-02-25T12:01:45+01:00 Roger Aas http://metanav.uninett.no/installingoncentos5?rev=1267095705&do=diff * Maintained by Roger Aas at Atea AS. ### ### NAV 3 installation ### ### for CentOS 5 ### ### Roger Aas, Atea AS ### ### ### 25.02.2010: ### - Fixed a lot of dependency problems, removed unneeded packages, upgraded others ### 22.02.2010: ### - NAV version is 3.5.5 ### - Fixed some minor problems ### 26.01.2010: ### - Tested on CentOS 5.4 i386 DVD ### - NAV version is 3.5.4 ### - FCGI-0.68, CGI.pm-3.48, psycopg2-2.0.13, IPy-0.70, setuptools-0.6c11, pyrad-1.2, Django-1.1.1 ### 10.09… text/html 2010-02-24T13:47:12+01:00 Morten Brekkevold http://metanav.uninett.no/navfaq?rev=1267015632&do=diff What is NAV?

This made the installation dependent on numerous Makefiles for handling each subsytem to their needs.
