upgrading RH 9 system->Fedora with iso files and apt only
by Didier Casse 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

I have the yarrow's iso files on my HD in a RH9 system. Let's say I want to upgrade selected packages using an "apt-get install" pointing to my iso-mounted files, how do I do it? i.e I mount the iso into some /mnt/yarrow1, /mnt/yarrow 2 etc.. Then what is the complete procedure to make my apt look into my own HD to upgrade packages. Can anybody redirect me to the correct resource or some literature hanging on the web? Thanks. Assume also that I do not wish to burn CDs! I do not want to use apt-cdrom. Thanks. With kind regards, Didier. --- PhD student Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS) 5 Research Link, Singapore 117603 Email: slsbdfc at nus dot edu dot sg \or\ didierbe at sps dot nus dot edu dot sg Website: http://ssls.nus.edu.sg

kernel/accounting question ...
by William W. Austin 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

(I know that this question might be more reasonable on a kernel list, but a while back I posted the question twice and got no answers.) The acct struct is defined in /usr/include/sys/acct.h includes both ac_io and ac_rw for bytes transferred and blocks read or written, respectively. Fair and good - works (on paper) similarly to unix, solaris, hp-ux, etc. However, in the kernel code [kernel/acct.c], ac_io (char) and ac_rw (blocks) are always set to 0 by these two lines: ac.ac_io = encode_comp_t(0 /* current->io_usage */); ac.ac_rw = encode_comp_t(ac.ac_io / 1024); For most purposes, this probably wouldn't be an issue, but I also do extensive performance analysis on several platforms and have written a fairly compresive accounting package (as a wraparound for psacct or as a standalone) including both an improved acctcom and a built-in reporter for it. Does anyone know wby the kernel zero's out the bytes transferred data? (Overhead comes to mind.) Not that it makes a huge differnce for my purposes (I had to write some wraparound code to make a "best-guestimate" about the data I'm missing), but curiosity is bugging me now. When I compile my program on other OS's I get useful data for char and block i/o and I'd like to find out whether there is something obvious that I'm just totally missing here...).

acctcom for linux
by William W. Austin 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

I recently made several updates to a Linux version of of acctcom (actually another accounting add-on package) which I've been using for several years, and one of the people testing it asked a question which I cannot answer. I'm hoping that someone on this list can give me some info. I have previously (over a year ago) asked on both this and a couple of kernel lists (several times there) about this issue, but nobody has ever answered. So if you have any info about this, I'd really appreciate it. As in many (all?) previous Linux kernels, the struct acct (defined in /usr/include/sys/acct.h) has members ac_io and ac_rw which are presumably counts of characters transferred and blocks read/written respectively. However, in the kernel code, the ac_io is set to 0 and the ac_rw gets set to (ac_io/512) or some such - it is set to 0 as well (and thus these are always reported as 0 in process accounting records. not good if you're trying to measure them...). Does anybody know why this is done that way? A long time ago (IIRC late 2.2 and an early 2.4 kernel) I looked into "fixing" this in the kernel code but was not successful (I finally produced a bootable kernel, but it was unstable. Then I changed jobs, got swamped at work, and eventually gave up). As I said above, I have previously asked about this issue without success, and I have essentially given up changing or "fixing" it. But if anyone knows __WHY__ it is this way (I'm hypothesizing that it's just too much work for too little added value), I'd really appreciate knowing the reason. Curiosity and the cat and all that ... Thanks - Bill -- william w. austin waustin(a)speakeasy.net "life is just another phase i'm going through. this time, anyway ..."

Packages looking for new owners
by Trond Danielsen 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

Hi everyone, it is becoming clear to me that I can no longer provide the collection of packages I maintain the love and care that they deserve. If only there were more hours in a day, but the current situation does no leave much room for volunteer work on free software :-(. Hopefully I will find time in the future to return to Fedora related work The list if packages I maintain is available here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/trondd?acls=owner I don't mind keeping libopenraw, avrdude and uisp unless anyone _really_ want to maintain these packages. Best regards, -- Trond Danielsen

Maintainer Responsibility Policy
by Brian Pepple 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Hi all, I'm looking for some feedback on what I've got so far for the Maintainer Responsibility Policy. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Schedule/MaintainerResponsibilityPolicy -- == Maintainer Responsibility Policy == === How long to maintain? === 13 months from initial release. === Belong to the appropriate low-traffic mailing list === * Package maintainers will receive important announcements through the moderated fedora-devel-announce mailing list. Maintainers will be automatically subscribed to this list. Everyone that is a primary maintainer of a package in Fedora is also strongly encouraged to subscribe to the fedora-devel list, though this is not mandatory. * http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-announce * http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list === Manage security issues === * Package maintainer should handle security issues quickly, and if they need help they should contact the Security Response Team. * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Security/ResponseTeam === Deal with reported bugs in a timely manner ==== * 'Nuff said. === Maintain stability for users === * Package maintainers should limit updates within a single Fedora release to those which do not require special user action. Many users update automatically, and if their applications stop working from no action of their own then they will be upset. This goes doubly for services which may break overnight. === Track dependency issues in a timely manner === * In the development tree, and to a small degree in the release trees as well, updates to packages may cause other packages to have broken dependencies. Maintainers will be alerted when this happens, and should work to rebuild their packages with all due haste. Broken dependencies may leave end user systems in a state where no updates will be applied. In order to keep the distribution in a reasonable state, someone will step in and rebuild packages that have had dependency issues for some time, but package maintainers should not rely on these rebuilds. === Notify others of changes that may affect their packages === * Some packages are depended upon by others; in this case, changes to one package may cause issues for others. Maintainers should be aware of the effects that changes to their packages may have, and should alert to the fedora-devel-announce mailing list of updates which contain ABI or API changes which may cause dependency problems for other packages. The announcement should occur a week before the packages update, so all maintainers affected are notified. The announcement should include the following information: * Nature of the change. * Branches (devel, F9, etc.) which will be affected by the change. * Expected date of the change. * List of packages which are affected by the change. Generally, this is merely the list of packages which depend directly on the package which is being updated, and can be found with "repoquery --whatrequires package" where "package" is the package being updated. * If your package upgrade breaks other packages in Rawhide, you should try to help fix the packages affected. For example, when Python-2.5 was integrated into Rawhide, Jeremy Katz at least fixed the important packages and queued a rebuild for all the other packages affected. === Miscellaneous Items === * Maintainers need to maintain an upgrade path for their packages. * F(current-1) -> F(current) -> Rawhide * Packages should be pushed to the Rawhide branch first. If it builds and works fine for a few days, then it can be pushed to F(current). If there is a good reason to push it to F(current-1), it should be done after a few days of being in F(current). --- Thanks, /B -- Brian Pepple <bpepple(a)fedoraproject.org> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BrianPepple gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 810CC15E BD5E 6F9E 8688 E668 8F5B CBDE 326A E936 810C C15E

improve-relatime.patch dropped from F10
by Ricardo Argüello 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hi, Why was the improve-relatime.patch dropped from F10's kernel? F9 had relatime on by default using this patch. I first thought the upstream kernel had the patch now, but /proc/mounts does not show relatime in F10. I found this bug, looks related: mkinitrd can't deal with the "relatime" mount option https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430280 More info: http://kerneltrap.org/node/14148 http://people.redhat.com/mingo/relatime-patches/improve-relatime.patch -- Ricardo Arguello

preupgrade F9 -> rawhide?
by Camilo Mesias 19 Mar '09

19 Mar '09

Is preupgrade from F9 to rawhide supposed to work at the moment, and where can I report problems? I've tried to run it and got a few depsolving problems for packages from livna... but when it gets to the boot images stage there are problems: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 198, in on_assistant_apply self._do_main() File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 206, in _do_main self.main_preupgrade() File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 349, in main_preupgrade self.pu.retrieve_treeinfo() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/preupgrade/__init__.py", line 395, in retrieve_treeinfo self.instimage = cp.get('stage2', 'instimage') File "/usr/lib/python2.5/ConfigParser.py", line 520, in get raise NoOptionError(option, section) ConfigParser.NoOptionError: No option 'instimage' in section: 'stage2' Any ideas? -Cam

Fedora User Certificates
by Dennis Gilmore 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Effective immediately we have replaced the CA that is in use for cvs.fedoraproject.org and koji.fedoraproject.org This effects uploading to lookaside cache and building packages. There are some manual steps that everyone needs to do to be able to use the systems again. they are login to https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/ and click on the "Download a client-side certificate" link at the bottom of the home page. save the output to ~/.fedora.cert rm ~/.fedora-server-ca.cert ~/.fedora-upload-ca.cert fedora-packager-setup then open your browser got to Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Encryption -> View Certificates -> Your Certificates Select your existing Certificate and remove it then import the new one from ~/fedora-browser-cert.p12 you will be able to log in to koji * Please note that you can only have one client side certificate at a time. when you download a new one your old one is revoked. Please also only click on the "Download a client-side certificate" link once as it makes multiple requests and revokes all the transient certs. the CRL is at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/ca/crl.pem Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Confirmed premature hard disk failure
by Callum Lerwick 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Now one occurrence doesn't prove it was the Load_Cycle_Count problem that killed the drive, but this drive is definitely prematurely failed. This is going to be spammy, I think it is important to document this so we can all learn from it... The drive I posted about a while back: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-July/msg00426.html Is now definitely failing as of about 3-4 weeks ago. It's at the stage where the drive still seems to be mostly readable, but IO bandwidth has dropped like a rock. Booting Fedora takes like 20 minutes. Same thing two previous failed drives did. The drive has a manufacture date of May 2007. I have no reason to believe the drive has been mistreated, no more than typical laptop wear and tear. It is a "desktop replacement" laptop and is rarely transported. Fortunately /home seems to be readable. Media errors show up in the syslog, but no IO errors are turning up in user space. The WinXP partition seems to be trashed, however. So much for my wife's Half Life 2 and Spore savegames... ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 ata1.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 ata1.00: cmd 25/00:00:00:58:08/00:04:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 524288 in res 51/40:0f:f1:59:08/40:02:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x9 (media error) ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } ata1.00: error: { UNC } ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 ata1: EH complete ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 ata1.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 ata1.00: cmd 25/00:00:00:58:08/00:04:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 524288 in res 51/40:0f:f1:59:08/40:02:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x9 (media error) ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } ata1.00: error: { UNC } ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 ata1: EH complete ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 ata1.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 ata1.00: cmd 25/00:00:00:58:08/00:04:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 524288 in res 51/40:0f:f1:59:08/40:02:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x9 (media error) ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } ata1.00: error: { UNC } ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 ata1: EH complete ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 ata1.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 ata1.00: cmd 25/00:00:00:58:08/00:04:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 524288 in res 51/40:0f:f1:59:08/40:02:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x9 (media error) ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } ata1.00: error: { UNC } ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 ata1: EH complete ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 ata1.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 ata1.00: cmd 25/00:00:00:58:08/00:04:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 524288 in res 51/40:0f:f1:59:08/40:02:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x9 (media error) ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } ata1.00: error: { UNC } ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 ata1: EH complete ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 ata1.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 ata1.00: cmd 25/00:00:00:58:08/00:04:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 524288 in res 51/40:0f:f1:59:08/40:02:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x9 (media error) ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } ata1.00: error: { UNC } ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE,SUGGEST_OK sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Sense Key : Medium Error [current] [descriptor] Descriptor sense data with sense descriptors (in hex): 72 03 11 04 00 00 00 0c 00 0a 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 08 59 f1 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Add.

If Selective self-test is pending on power-up, resume after 0 minute delay. Self tests 1-4 were done just today. Test 5 was done when the drive first started failing 3-4 weeks ago, after which the machine was kept off until now. 6 and 7 are from when I first noticed Current_Pending_Sector was nonzero, maybe a month or two ago. 8 is from my post in July. 9 and 10 are from when the drive was new. Things to note: 1) The SMART health status is PASSED. Just like every other failed drive I've had... 2) None of the attributes are failed. 3) By the time the self tests start failing, it is too late, you are already losing data. We can not trust the drive to assess itself properly. If we ever get a SMART desktop alert thing going, we MUST look directly at the attributes, and come to our own conclusion. Any questions before I RMA the drive?
