About:
The Amahi Home Server is a Linux Home Server based
on Fedora (and later on Ubuntu). Your machine
becomes a "Home Digital Assistant" or HDA after
the installation. Each HDA is a Fedora-based
server targeted for home and home office
environments. It provides an iTunes server,
calendaring, a wiki, shared network storage,
network backups, a printer server, VPN, and a
plug-in architecture built on Ruby on Rails.

Hi!
We have an alpha of Amahi for Fedora 9 (search the wiki). It is not
recommended unless you would like to hack :-)
It may be a few days until it goes to beta, which should work nearly
fully.

NO DOWNLOAD!
by Kompati - May 25th 2008 11:33:43
This program does not offer source code or even a binary download. I
checked both Freshmeat page and program homepage.
Currently (2008-05-25):
- Freshmeat homepage does not have a download link
- Program homepage has a big "Get it" link. However, the next
page requires your personal information, including email address:
https://www.amahi.org/user
But that's not enough! You are also required to have an invitation
key:
http://www.amahi.org/invitation
Am I missing a download link, or is Amahi currently in vaporware
state?

Download is just the Fedora DVD - Re: NO DOWNLOAD!
by cpg - May 28th 2008 23:58:47
Hi,
Technically, there is a download. It's the Fedora CD/DVD!
You should read the requirements (the first thing at the
signup page).
The rest downloads automatically while installing Fedora!
The repos are also available, if you really want to dig them (they are
also listed in the wiki). They are not prominent because otherwise web
spiders kill our bandwith.
However, the whole goal of the project is to make it easy to install, all
from one place.
Amahi project is in Beta, so the program is not open publicly. If you
would like an invite before we open it up, do not hesitate to get in
touch.
You really have to look at what the project is trying to achieve: make it
easy to install a complex device.
Just looking for a download link is a bit like trying to go to a stadium
expecting to see goals when the event is really a dog show or a motorcycle
show, then complaining there were no goals. Pardon the analogy :-)

Clearly, Fedora Core CD/DVD does not contain Amahi.
> The repos are also available, if you really want to

So you have a download link somewhere, but you don't want to tell exactly
where? Does this obscure place include source code for Amahi?

Correctly formatted my message here, sorry for the double post:

Re: NO DOWNLOAD!
by cpg - Jun 15th 2008 20:06:33
I'm tempted to just say "RTFM" ;-) ...
We would rather not post the direct links
anywhere for the reasons we have mentioned already, since we're starting
and don't have mirrors yet.
All you have to do is type http:// at the front,
then the repo (f8.amahi.org is the current one, f7 is the
previous one) and add the name of the directories for the RPMs at the end
you can download to your heart's content. This is meant to be used as a yum
repo.
For the source code, you can get the rpms directly, or better yet, go to
the sourceforge page
and hit the svn
repo.
C'mon, send us patches!
Below is an excerpt from our technology page (soon to
be in a developers area).
Get the Code
We are taking the approach of adding a repo to the GNU/Linux install
process to installing Amahi. So, there is no conventional software
"download" to install "by hand."
However, if you need to get the code by hand, it's in our repos. NOTE: We
do not link to them directly on purpose, because web spiders unnecessarily
crawl them, sucking the bandwith which otherwise we'd like to be available
for you for a faster install.
The code is in the directories i386, x86_64 and noarch of the repo. The
current repo can be accessed at f8.amahi.org. The source code is in the svn
SourceForge repo.

I could now download binaries (yum repos) and source code (svn). Thank you!
