In Fedora22, GCC not enabled the -fstack-protector by default, why?
by 乱雪 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Such as: // x.c #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { char x[] = "abc"; printf("%s\n", x); return 0; } and using GCC compile it: ➜ gcc x.c -v ...... /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/5.1.1/cc1 -quiet -v x.c -quiet -dumpbase x.c -mtune=generic -march=x86-64 -auxbase x -version -o /tmp/ccqowh4f.s ...... as you see, GCC not enabled the -fstack-protector by default. And in Ubuntu: ➜ gcc x.c -v /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/cc1 -quiet -v -imultilib . -imultiarch x86_64-linux-gnu x.c -quiet -dumpbase x.c -mtune=generic -march=x86-64 -auxbase x -version -fstack-protector -o /tmp/cc0aswkw.s the enabled the -fstack-protector by default. why?

Fwd: Submission deadline for Changes of Fedora 23
by Paul W. Frields 26 Jun '15

26 Jun '15

Do we have system wide changes still to file for F23? ISTM we have a few contenders that are not yet listed in the proposed changes[1] list: * Integrating distro upgrade * D-Bus activation in gnome-session? (does this affect non-GNOME?) * Boxes import OVF/OVA (iff. this affects Fedora deliverables, either new requirements, or which can be dropped) * Live USB changes -- since this affects e.g. docs/websites, possibly a marketing angle [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/23/ChangeSet -- Paul ----- Forwarded message from Jan Kurik <jkurik(a)redhat.com> ----- Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2015 08:39:19 -0400 (EDT) From: Jan Kurik <jkurik(a)redhat.com> To: devel-announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Subject: Submission deadline for Changes of Fedora 23 X-Mailer: Zimbra 8.0.6_GA_5922 (ZimbraWebClient - FF38 (Linux)/8.0.6_GA_5922) X-BeenThere: devel-announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Hi everyone!

Re: Do not disturb mode in F22/Gnome 3.16
by Norman L Smith 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

I have written a simple extension to provide a Do Not Disturb Button. I have cc'ed Ankur Sinha and Heiko Adams. I ask they test the extension to insure it is adequate for their needs. If I receive a positive response I will upload it to the ego site. The following instructions should be all that is needed to test. I suspect they may be a bit pedantic but here goes... $ git clone https://github.com/nls1729/acme-code.git $ cd acme-code/donotdisturb-button@nls1729 $ make zip-file The file donotdisturb-button(a)nls1729.zip should be found in the current directory. Execute the gnome-tweak-tool (Tweak Tool). Extensions -> Install Shell Extension Navigate to directory containing donotdisturb-button(a)nls1729.zip. Open Log out and log in. Execute the gnome-tweak-tool (Tweak Tool). Extensions Find "Do not disturb button" Set to ON A new button should appear on the left top panel. The button can be toggled with the mouse or keyboard. The extension should function with the Screen Shield and Screen Lock. If the button is set to busy and notifications are received. Toggling the button to available will display the queued notifications. If notifications are received during Screen Lock or Screen Shield the queued notifications can be displayed on the Notification Section of the Calendar. Please let known what you think. Norman

Fedora runtime and apps (again)
by Alexander Larsson 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

Hi, it's me again. I've been doing some more work on a fedora-based runtime and apps for xdg-app. First of all I've cleaned up the runtime itself. It is now consists of a new rpm, "fedora-runtime"[1], which has a bunch of requires for all the packages which are supposed to be in the runtime, as well as some special configuration (ld.so, fontconfig) needed in the runtime. There is also a fedora-sdk rpm which pulls in fedora-runtime + dnf and a few development tools. I've built these rpms in the copr here: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/alexl/fedora-runtime/ This means that the rpm-ostree json file[2] which describes the runtime is super-trivial, as it just has the f22 repo and the copr repo, and lists just the fedora-runtime package. See If you have rpm-ostree-2015.6-2.fc22 installed (in koji for f22) all you have to do is check out https://github.com/alexlarsson/fedora-runtime and run "make" (or something like "make PROXY="--proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8123" if you have a http proxy set up). If you just want to test this i've updated the repo at http://people.redhat.com/~alexl/repo/ You should be able to test it (and the evince demo app i built) by installing xdg-app 0.3.1 (in updates-testing) and doing: xdg-app add-remote --no-gpg-verify --user fedora http://people.redhat.com/~alexl/repo/ xdg-app install-runtime --user fedora org.fedoraproject.Platform 22 xdg-app install-app --user fedora org.gnome.evince xdg-app run org.gnome.evince I've also done various kinds of experiments with creating applications from existing fedora packages. In the end I realized that the only sane way to make it work is to rebuild the packages with a custom rpm setup that has %{_prefix} as "/app" and some other stuff. So, i set up a mock configuration[3] that lets you easily rebuild packages in /app. It mostly sets rpm macros and environment variables so that things build, although I had to make changes to some packages (rpm to make brp -compress compress inside /app, and check-rpaths to make rpaths in /app/lib* ok, and pkg-config to be able to override .pc variables[4]). These packages are in the copr above, so the mock config will automatically pick them up. There are also some simple scripts running mock in the git repo, so you can easily rebuild an app from srpms. Here is how I built the evince app: for srpm in ghostscript-9.16-2.fc22.src.rpm ghostscript-fonts-5.50-33.fc21.src.rpm poppler-data-0.4.7-3.fc22.src.rpm poppler-0.30.0-3.fc22.src.rpm libspectre-0.2.7-5.fc22.src.rpm libgxps-0.2.2-11.fc22.src.rpm gnome-desktop3-3.16.2-1.fc22.src.rpm evince-3.16.1-1.fc22.src.rpm; do ./build-srpm.sh srpms/$srpm done xdg-app build-init evincedir org.gnome.evince org.fedoraproject.Sdk org.fedoraproject.Platform 22 ./build-app.sh evince evincedir xdg-app build-finish --command=evince --socket=x11 --filesystem=host evincedir xdg-app build-export /some/repo evincedir All the srpms I rebuilt for evince worked as-is when rebuilt in /app, but I'm pretty sure some specfiles may need minor tweaks to fully support building in a different prefix, and we still need to rename the desktop files to the app-ids for the exports to work. Is this work something we as a project are interested in doing?

Do not disturb mode in F22/Gnome 3.16
by Ankur Sinha 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hi, I just realised this - the "busy"/"do not disturb mode" isn't in Gnome 3.16. Before, when notifications were still at the bottom, there was a button that let the user set the notifications on silent. It was really convenient, and if I remember correctly, it even set the empathy status to "busy". Any chance this could be added, or any chance it's there and I just haven't found it? At the moment, the only way I can find of emulating this behaviour is to go to notifications in settings and turn off "notification banners". -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha

automount of a volume has wrong permissions, can't open files
by Chris Murphy 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

I have files on an HFS+ volume that were created on OS X. When I'm in Fedora 22, applications give me permissions errors when trying to open them. I have to go to the CLI to fix this, there's no way to do it in the GUI. Obviously this shouldn't happen, so it's a bug. But, I can't figure out which component's bug. What actually instigates automount in GNOME, and does it tell udisks2 what permissions to use when automounting? That determines if it's some GNOME component or if it's udisks2 or maybe something else. # journalctl Jun 15 21:18:15 f22m.localdomain udisksd[1272]: Mounted /dev/sda5 at /run/media/chris/temphfs on behalf of uid 1000 # mount /dev/sda5 on /run/media/chris/temphfs type hfsplus (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,umask=22,uid=0,gid=0,nls=utf8,uhelper=udisks2) [chris@f22m temphfs]$ ls -lhd /run/media/chris/temphfs/ drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 9 Jun 15 20:12 /run/media/chris/temphfs/ [chris@f22m temphfs]$ getfacl /run/media/chris/temphfs/ getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: run/media/chris/temphfs/ # owner: root # group: root user::rwx group::r-x other::r-x Thanks, -- Chris Murphy
