tomboy orphaned
by Ray Strode 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hey guys, A long, long time ago (before the extras/core merge in fact i think) i was given tomboy to help spread the influx of mono packages across desktop team. IIt's a neat program, but I don't really use it. I'm more of a send-myself-email/scribble-on-whiteboard kind of guy. I'm also not very good about maintaining it. I've orphaned it now. If anyone is interested in it, feel free to take it. --Ray

Revoking and deleting in Bodhi Web
by Sergio Belkin 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Hi, What does it occur when an update is revoked and is deleted? I've done an updated version of package, made a build and when I write the name in Package field I've found a bit odd that new build doesn't appear in the combo box. I wonder if I did something wrong... What do you think? Thanks in advance! -- -- Sergio Belkin http://www.sergiobelkin.com Watch More TV http://sebelk.blogspot.com LPIC-2 Certified - http://www.lpi.org

Orphaning my packages...
by Truch, Matthew 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

I need to orphan all of my packages. In most cases, it would be great if someone (or more) could pick them up. Let me know if you'd like any of them and I'll release them to you. cfitsio -- Library for manipulating FITS data files Already has co-maintainers; perhaps they want to step up? getdata -- Library for reading and writing dirfile data An excellent and easy to package data library. Upstream is extremely responsive. hpic -- Healpix manipulation binaries and library Could be orphaned; not used much anymore, but is trivial to maintain. kst -- A data viewing program for KDE A great program for plotting data (especially live data). Currently in Fedora is the 1.x branch of kst; 2.0 has been released; I have a spec file ready but haven't had the time to push it though. slimdata -- Tools and library for reading and writing slim compressed data This package also gets little use, but it is easy to maintain.

UID_MIN & GID_MIN changed
by Peter Vrabec 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Hi all, I'd like to inform you that I have changed UID_MIN & GID_MIN from 500 to 1000 in upgraded shadow-utils. Where? /etc/login.defs. shadow-utils-4.1.4.3-1.fc16 I suppose UID/GID_MIN=1000 is more common(other distros, upstream). We are not in situation that 500 IDs for system accounts ought to be enough for anybody. Actually, it was not 500.It was 299 because range 0-200 is for reserved IDs. There are 799 non reserved IDs for system accounts available after this change. Regards, Peter.

9base in Fedora?
by Petr Sabata 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Hi list, I've been thinking about packaging 9base [1], a port of Plan 9 userspace tools, for Fedora. I'm interested in opinions on what style is "better" and why. The problem is most of 9base binaries (and their manpages) have the same name as their coreutils (and other) equivalents, therefore we need to install them to somewhere else. Upstream suggests installing all its directories (bin, share, lib, ...) into /usr/local. This is not acceptable for obvious reasons. Options: #1, aka the Gentoo way Gentoo installs its 9base package into /usr/plan9, basically not touching 9base files at all. This collides with FHS and therefore would require an exception in Packaging Guidelines. #2, aka the Debian way Debian installs its 9base package into /usr/lib. Well, most of it. They also prefix all the manpages with 'plan9-', not the binaries, though. This placement (provided we use %{_libdir}) introduces issues for Plan 9 rc shell scripts and their shebangs. #3, aka the Fedora way? Should we do this in some other way? I personally like the #1 better since it's more clean (except for the required FHS exception) and more or less aligned with upstream. [1] http://tools.suckless.org/9base -- # Petr Sabata

Same noarch update to several releases?
by Bruno Wolff III 31 May '11

31 May '11

I am co-maintaining boswars-addons which has been setup to not use dist as part of the versions, since the package is noarch and the same build is usable accross releases. It's 48 MB, so it has been considered large enough to be worth not triggering updates when updating between Fedora releases. So now I want to get the same update into F13, F14, F15 and rawhide. Is there a reasonable way to do this? I think I can get it into F13 and rawhide, but I am not sure how to get the same build into multiple updates repos for released versions. Can I do this one at a time? So that after it has made it all the way to updates in one release, to start again in another using manual tagging into updates-pending before using bodhi again?

headsup: F16 libupnp soname bumps
by Adam Jackson 31 May '11

31 May '11

The following packages will be affected: djmount-0:0.71-3.fc15.i686 gmediaserver-0:0.13.0-7.fc15.i686 gmyth-0:0.7.1-14.fc15.i686 linux-igd-0:1.0-10.fc15.i686 ushare-0:1.1a-7.fc15.i686 and possibly more in third-party repos. I'll handle rebuilds for the above, I don't expect any will need more than trivial patches. - ajax
