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

how to speed up mock?
by Farkas Levente 03 Apr '11

03 Apr '11

hi, we use mock for local package build, but it's very slow. now we install a new host just for mock with 8core, ram disks etc. it seems it still slow. first of all most of the time mock use only one 1 core of the cpu. is there any way to speed up different part of the mock build process? thanks in advance. ps. anyway is there any better place to discuss it? -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

Hello. Nowadays the jack project has two branches - old jack (1) branch with version 0.116.2 and new one called jack2 version 1.9.3. I'd like to gather opinions and suggestions about applying new version for F13. Please, share your thoughts! Thank you. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko

Font rendering in F13
by Matthias Clasen 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hey, early in the F13 cycle, we enabled the bytecode interpreter in our freetype package, since the patents on that have expired last fall. Unfortunately, it turned out that many free fonts don't actually benefit from this, and actually look worse with the bci. The reason for that is that without the bci, freetype uses its autohinter on all fonts, but with the bci turned on, it only applies hints to fonts which have them, and leaves other fonts alone. Behdad investigated the situation, and we have a plan to fix this, but doing it properly requires enhancements in multiple places (freetype, fontconfig, pango), and will not be ready in time for F13. Therefore, we decided to turn the bci off again until the necessary changes are in place to use it only on fonts which benefit from it. This change went into freetype-2.3.11-3.fc13. If your fonts look subtly different tomorrow, this is why... Matthias

non-responsive maintainer: thomasvs
by Julian Sikorski 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

Dear all, it seems like thomasvs became unresponsive. I have filed a bug asking about python-twisted update [1] on 6th of February. It was then duped by a similar bug [2] on 23rd of March. I have also emailed Thomas on 26th of March. None of the queries met any response. Should I initiate the non-responsive maintainer process? Regards, Julian [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=562379 [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=572372

syslog-ng
by Peter Czanik 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hello, I'm helping to upgrade syslog-ng to current version in major Linux distributions. I would like to ask, if you could update syslog-ng to version 3.1. I'm working on the openSUSE version of syslog-ng 3.1 ( http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/czanik:/branches:/Base:/Sys… ), and it is also being upgraded in Debian ( http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/syslog-ng.html ) and Gentoo ( http://gentoo.linuxhowtos.org/portage/app-admin/syslog-ng ) and Mandriva ( http://sophie.zarb.org/viewrpm/b8182fa1eee109cc655a020a2cb62f5f ). For a complete list of changes, please see: http://www.balabit.com/downloads/files/syslog-ng/open-source-edition/3.0.5/… http://www.balabit.com/downloads/files/syslog-ng/open-source-edition/3.1.0/… Major changes from the packaging point of view: - addition of new utilities: /usr/bin/pdbtool /usr/sbin/syslog-ng-ctl - apparmor (or SElinux in case of Fedora) needs some extra permissions: /var/run/syslog-ng.ctl rw, /var/run/syslog-ng/additional-log-sockets.conf r, capability sys_tty_config, Version 3.0 also added SSL support among many other changes, but that can't be enabled on openSUSE (configure arg: --disable-ssl): syslog-ng is in /sbin, openssl libs are in /usr/lib, linking from /usr is not allowed in /, and SSL is not available statically for security reasons. As far as I can see (I have a Fedora 13 snapshot installed in vmware), Fedora has the same problem. Please let me know, if you need any additional help/information to get syslog-ng updated for Fedora. Best regards, Peter Czanik

Purging the F13 orphans
by Jesse Keating 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

It's that time of the release cycle again, to purge the orphans before we get to feature freeze. Any unblocked orphans will be purged by the feature freeze. A list of unblocked orphans and the broken deps they would cause is at the end of this email. Taking ownership of an orphan on the devel collection will prevent them from being blocked. Remember, it is OK to let software die. Don't view this as a list of things that somebody should pick up if they have the spare time. Things should only be revived if there are actual users in need of the software.

i386-class support changed in F-13?
by Dan Horák 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

Hello, I was trying to install i686 variant of F-13 to an Alix board (2D13 with Geode LX) and got into troubles. The kernel boots fine, but when it should start initramfs the kernel panics. Everything works well when using complete F-12 environment and when using F-12 kernel+initramfs with F-13 rootfs the initramfs stuff runs well, but when I try to manually chroot into the F-13 from the dracut shell I get an "Invalid instruction" exception. I though last change in x86 CPU support was in F-12 (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/F12X86Support) and it explicitly talks about Geode LX as still supported. So the question is whether F-13 should still work on Geode LX? Dan

ImageMagick update
by Pavel Alexeev 30 May '10

30 May '10

I'll plan update ImageMagick now - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=579458 ABI change follow. And according it I have some questions. New minor version of IM made around 1-2 times in week. What policy I should use to handle it? Have it worth update it in rawhide each time when new version arrived (I hope no)? For stable releases I though in action http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_update_guidelines and shortly I should submit updates only for bugfixes. Must I notify someone about coming update? How? Is it enough write here? -- With best wishes, Pavel Alexeev aka Pahan-Hubbitus.

sysconfig ifcfg-* support for running custom post-up scripts per interface?
by Pasi Kärkkäinen 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hello, Has there been any plans to support running custom post-up scripts for each interface, after "ifup <interface>" ? Debian allows you to specify: iface eth0 inet static .. post-up /etc/network/if-up.d/fw.start I'm looking for something similar for rhel/fedora. Any ideas? Maybe something like POST_UP="/path/script" in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-int Thanks! -- Pasi
