Source code Tango distribution

You can download a Tango source code release (release 8.1.2) from this WEB page. It is based on autoconf for Unix. It has been tested on various flavours of Linux (Ubuntu and Debian). Your feedback will be appreciated. The source distribution does not contain omniORB, zmq and omniNotify (when compatibility with old Tango releases is required). Tango release 8.1.2 was tested with omniORB-4.1.6, zmq 3.2 and omniNotify-2.1.

In case you need omniNotify for compatibility reasons, there is a warning  if you want to run it on a Linux based 64 bits computer. Its release 2.1 is not 64 bits compatible. To have a 64 bits ready release, you have to get the package from the branch named omniNotify_develop.On top of that, to compile omniNotify on a modern computer using C++ streams, you have to apply the patch provided by one community member.

Ubuntu GNU/Linux binary distribution

Since its release 7.2.6, Tango is available as a set of binary packages (Debian packaging system) for the Ubuntu GNU/Linux distribution. Ubuntu lucid (release 10.04), maverick (release 10.10) and natty (release 11.04) are available. The binary packages are made available on the Launchpad web site in a tango-controls/core PPA (Personal Packages Archive)

Since Ubuntu oneiric (release 11.10), most of these binary packages are available directly from the Ubuntu software center and you don't need to add the PPA to get them. Nevertheless, the package named libtango-java (Tango java jar file and java tools like Jive, Astor, Atkpanel,...) is only available from the PPA. If you need this package, you have to get it from there.

RPM GNU/Linux packages

Several RPM packages are also available. They are provided on a best-effort basis and it is guaranteed that they are in line with latest official Tango distribution. The official way to distribute Linux Tango binary packages are  the Debian packaging system. These links are provided here in case it could be useful for RPM packaging system addicts. Packages are available for RHEL6/Centos6 64 bits, RHEL6/Centos6 32 bits, RHEL5/Centos5 64 bits and RHEL5/Centso5 32 bits.
