… Changes regarding the RPMs that are used to install various censhare-related components on Linux. censhare-Common 1.10 Release Date: 10th August 2019 Changes Th<2019.2 you need still need to additionally install the Oracle JDK package manually. 1.6 Release Date: 14th May 2018 Changes The RPM is now relocatable. Please note to only use relocate with other RPMs that support this feature as well. User and Group for installation base can be changed. Please note to only use this with other RPMs that support this feature as well Added verification scripts. Following command will check if the package has been installed correctly rpm -V censhare-Common Notes How to use relocate and different user/group is described in the RPM installation article. 1.5 Release Date: 29th March 2018 Changes Dependency to "systemd" was removed to maintain compatibility with older Linux distribution rccss was updated to 2.0.8, contains a bugfix to disable services Easter egg since it's Easter! 1.4 Release Date: 15th March 2018 Changes Dependency to "jdk" was changed to "jdk1.8" because of a naming change by the Oracle JDK RPM. Dependency added to systemd. This is for preparation of future release that should support systemd service on Linux. A preset file 99-censhare.preset to enable service with censhare.* by vendor is added as well. enable censhare.* On initial package installation, a default CSS_ID will be attended to the user profile CSS_ID=master; export CSS_ID Notes With this update also jdk1.8 should be updated and always for jdk updates censhare-Server and censhare-Service-Client should be restarted. Oracle JDK should be downloaded from them directly and installed manually via the RPM jdk-8u< 2019.3 The censhare.office services will be removed and instead by the dependent package libreoffice-online a new service loolwsd (LibreOfficeOnLine WebSocketDaemon) is available.
