We've started testing the first public version of rpm file for POPFile (v1.1.1 RC2).

The source rpm (SRPM) is also available.

The rpm file is signed using GnuPG. You can get my public key from here and here.

After the installation, POPFile automatically starts using the default configurations.

You can configure POPFile by accessing its UI at http://127.0.0.1:8080/

This install package installs some files in several directories:

• /usr/share/popfile - used to store POPFile program files (Perl scripts, image files, HTML template files, etc.)
• /var/lib/popfile - used to store POPFile data files (the corpus file(popfile.db), configuration file(popfile.cfg), history cache(messages), etc.)
• /var/log/popfile - used to store POPFile log files (POPFile log(popfile*.log) and console log(console.log))
• /var/run - used to store the pid file (popfile.pid)
• /etc/init.d - used to store POPFile startup script (popfile)

To install the POPFile package, you'll need these packages:

• perl
• perl-DBI
• perl-DBD-SQLite
• perl-TimeDate
• perl-HTML-Template
• perl-HTML-Tagset
• perl-IO-Socket-SSL
• perl-SOAP-Lite
• kakasi
• kakasi-dict
• perl-Text-Kakasi

• Fedora 10, 11
• Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring

The POPFile data files (in /var/lib/popfile) and the POPFile log files (in var/log/popfile) are not deleted after uninstalling.

If you really want to remove those files, please manually remove these folders:

• /var/lib/popfile
• /var/log/popfile

There is no known issues now.
