For some reason, the latest Mandrake RPM available for Motion [motion, motionrpm] is version 3.0.7. There are a lot of nice improvements in the most recent version, so I used the .spec file included in the latest motion build and made a Mandrake RPM.
You can download it here: motion-3.1.17-1mdk.i586.rpm
In this RPM, Motion was configured with these options:
************************
* Configure status *
************************
pthread Support: Yes
jpeg Support: Yes
Curl Support: Yes
V4L included: Yes
FFmpeg Support: Yes
xmlrpc-c Support: No
MYSQL Support: Yes
PostgreSQL Support: No
Disclaimer: I'm kinda new at making RPMs, but the spec file from the Motion guys looked fine with a tweak or two. Works well for me, but use at your own risk.
