Pretty cool, right? I updated the Etherpad packages for F13 and moved them there. Want to try them out? Awesome. Follow this quick guide:

  • become root and switch to the /etc/yum.repos.d directory
  • execute wget http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/sdz/etherpad/fedora-etherpad.repo
  • call yum install etherpad and install it together with its dependencies
  • switch back to your home directory
  • start the mysql server by running service mysqld start
  • prepopulate the database by executing etherpad-setup-mysql-db.sh
  • and now it's time to start the server: etherpad-run-local.sh
That should get you an Etherpad instance running on port 9000. Let me know how it goes. Also, for some strange reason, the Koji scratch composes don't seem to run through, while they do on my local machines. If you're interested in helping out to get this packaged properly, check out the page for the FAD we're tying to organize around Etherpad (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Etherpad_FAD) or ping me on IRC. I'm sdziallas there.
