New YafaRay available

Hi, Axel

After more than 2 years on review, yafaray has finally been approved for
Fedora.
However, the name of the package has been changed to YafaRay:

http://people.atrpms.net/~pcavalcanti/srpms/YafaRay-0.1.1-4.fc14.src.rpm

The package builds also for rhel5 and rhel6. Therefore, since we have
blender now,
we can have YafaRay for rhel, too. It needs qt4 for building.

The package renders great scenes, but has an incompatibility with gettext
(bugzilla #650471).
A very simple workaround is provided in the README.Fedora in the
Yafaray-blender package
(it just involves changing the default qt4 theme by the user).

Rhel5 also requires OpenEXR-devel:

http://people.atrpms.net/~pcavalcanti/srpms/OpenEXR-1.7.0-1.fc14.src.rpm

Thanks.

I patched it up a bit to support qt47 (it had some paths hardwired
instead of querying pkgconfig).

Is this kind of documentation something that we should push up to
www.atrpms.net? It's a blog after all.

In fact, this bug has been fixed. Nothing is supposed to link against
libgettextlib (it has some symbols conflicting with glib2).
The decision was to remove two symbolic links from gettext-devel in F15, to
avoid lining anything in the future.

That is why we rebuilt blender (release 22). It does not link to gettext any
more, and therefore
there is no more crashes.
