Run prelink and other stuff not in cron but when screensaver is active.
by Jaap A. Haitsma 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

I sometime get a bit frustrated that a cron job starts while I'm working. Wouldn't it be nicer that this stuff would run when I'm not doing any work. I.e. when the screensaver is active. Maybe as a minor enhancement when the screensaver is active and there is not a process asking for cpu power /disk access. Sometimes I'm running compiling jobs which take quite a while. Jaap

Questions about some default packages Fedora project
by Didier Casse 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

Hi, I'm new at this Fedora concept and I would like to ask the following questions: 1. How come we only have a limited number of Window Managers in Fedora? i.e only (GNOME, KDE and twm) Why don't we include more robust or eye-candy desktops such as Fluxbox, Enlightenment, XFCE, etc... ? 2. If we have created some of our own programs, for instance I created pdfmerge/pdfmerge4unix (program which merges any number of pdf files), [I know it's a small thing but it was just an example! ;-p] which is on SF.net, and I wish to make it available to the Fedora project/users since it's a useful program. Where do I submit my rpm packages to? Is it possible to make it available to apt-repositories of Fedora? 3. Why don't we have a lot of packagers available at hand compared to Debian? I think all of you are aware that the apt of Debian covers a wider range of packages than Fedora/RH. Debian also have several maintainers which takes care of all their packages issues. Why don't we have the same concept in Fedora? 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

Self Introduction: Tom "spot" Callaway
by Tom Callaway 01 Nov '03

01 Nov '03

Full Legal Name: Tom Callaway Location: Chicago, IL, USA Profession: Enterprise Architect Company: Red Hat My Goals in the Fedora Project: My goal is to work with Fedora to help advance Linux/SPARC. Right now, that is through the Aurora SPARC Linux Project (http://auroralinux.org), which I'm currently in charge of. I'm willing to do QA, although, I'd prefer to focus on SPARC specific QA testing. I don't have any specific packages that I'm pushing at the moment, but I reserve the right to amend that list as we move forward. Historical qualifications: What other projects have you worked on in the past? I'm currently project leader (and founder) for the Aurora SPARC Linux Project (http://auroralinux.org), with one successful major release under my belt, and another one in development. I've submitted some minor patches to various Red Hat Linux packages as a byproduct of my job, and troubleshooted advanced bugs and misconfigurations with enterprise customers. I also once wrote a nasty shell script to emulate Solaris's prtdiag. Why should we trust you? Red Hat trusts me. :) GPG KEYID and fingerprint: pub 1024D/93054260 2001-03-22 Tom Callaway (spot) <tcallawa(a)redhat.com> Key fingerprint = D786 8B22 D9DB 1F8B 4AB7 448E 3C5E 99AD 9305 4260 sub 2048g/6F9658C0 2001-03-22 ~spot --- Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa(a)redhat*com> LCA, RHCE Red Hat Sales Engineer || Aurora SPARC Linux Project Leader "The author's mathematical treatment of the conception of purpose is novel and highly ingenious, but heretical and, so far as the present social order is concerned, dangerous and potentially subversive.

For my own purposes, I'm going to package: prcs qmail distcc gcc to mingw cross-compiler fltk I doubt qmail is of interest to Fedora, but what about the others? Want them passed on?

Fedora suggestion - build certain packages for i686?
by Michel Alexandre Salim 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

Hello, What changed would need to be made to the current Fedora.us package autobuilder so that it could build packages for different target architectures? Maybe if the packager notes in a Bugzilla submission that such-and-such package should be built for (say) i686 to obtain MMX support, then the package could be added to a 'compile for i686' list which the autobuilder will consult when building a package? More ambitiously, perhaps a package should provide hints of which processor features it could make use of (MMX, SSE etc.) and the autobuilder will then build it for the relevant architectures *in addition* to the standard i386? This is not necessary for apps that autodetect CPU features like Mplayer, of course. Regards, Michel
