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

Moving xine-lib and dependent apps to RPM Fusion Free for F17?
by Kevin Kofler 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Hi, the current xine-lib maintainer speaking. :-) The Xine project: http://www.xine-project.org/home has recently released a new major version, version 1.2.0. Unfortunately, among the list of changes: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xine/files/xine-lib/1.2.0/README.txt.asc/vi… there are these new "features": * Use libavutil-provided implementations for CRC, SHA1 and BASE64 algorithms, this makes use of libavutil even outside the FFmpeg decoding plugin, but avoid duplication of algorithms between different plugins. * Use av_mallocz() when xine_xmalloc_aligned() wouldn't be needed. * FFmpeg is now required as an external dependency; if you want to build xine-lib from source, please download a copy of FFmpeg from their SVN server. which basically mean that xine-lib now has a global, non-optional dependency on FFmpeg's libavutil library. So there are 4 possible ways forward: (a) Stick with 1.1.x forever. I don't think that's a good idea in the long run, upstream won't be providing security fixes for the old branch forever. (b) Package libavutil (and only libavutil) from FFmpeg in Fedora. (I don't think libavutil, as opposed to libavcodec, is actually patent-encumbered, though that'd also have to be checked.) The issue there is that FFmpeg upstream obviously doesn't support this. It would need some more black packaging magic of the kind already done in xine-lib, and more legal auditing. I don't think I want to investigate going down that road. (c) Bundle parts or all of libavutil with xine-lib. Yuck!!! (d) Move the whole thing (back) to RPM Fusion (where it originally was, before we started needing xine-lib for Amarok and Phonon, which both no longer use it). It would go to the Free section, of course. My proposal is to go with (d). The following packages currently depend on xine-lib: * gxine * (k9copy – already in RPM Fusion, not affected) * kaffeine (my package, the reason why I maintain xine-lib in the first place) * oxine * xine-plugin * xine-ui These packages would have to move to RPM Fusion along with xine-lib. In Kaffeine's case, upstream is switching from xine-lib to MPlayer in their git repository, so it will likely have to move to RPM Fusion sooner or later anyway. This means the affected packages are basically *xine*. So my plan is to retire (for my packages, resp. have the respective maintainer retire) the listed packages in Fedora for Fedora ≥ 17 and get (or have the respective maintainer get) them into RPM Fusion Free instead. (I'd take care of xine-lib and kaffeine myself, I hope the maintainers of the other packages will take care of them.) Comments? Objections? Kevin Kofler

replacing folders with symlinks leads to rpm cpio rename errors
by Julian Sikorski 28 May '13

28 May '13

Hi list, one of the updates I am preparing is supposed to replace some of the folders with symlinks. Unfortunately, this leads to rpm cpio: rename errors upon an update attempt. Is there a standard way of dealing with this? Regards, Julian

F18, efi-bootable live images
by Andreas Tunek 11 Mar '13

The latest couple of F18 live images I have tried have not been efi bootable. Is this something known or something I should report in bugzilla? If so, under what component?

review swap
by Martin Gansser 11 Mar '13

Hi, I would be willing to swap a review of vdr-markad [1] in rpmfusion for another review, be it RPM Fusion or Fedora, preferably not something overly complex. Feel free to contact me if you are interested. Cheers, Martin [1] https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2319

[Test-Announce] Call for Test Days for Fedora 18
by Adam Williamson 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Hey, folks. It's that time again - time to start thinking about Test Days for Fedora 18. For anyone who isn't aware, a Test Day is an event usually focused around IRC for interaction and a Wiki page for instructions and results, with the aim being to get a bunch of interested users and developers together to test a specific feature or area of the distribution. You can run a Test Day on just about anything for which it would be useful to do some fairly focused testing in 'real time' with a group of testers; it doesn't have to be code, for instance we often run Test Days for l10n/i18n topics. For more information on Test Days, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days . Anyone who wants to can host their own Test Day, or you can request that the QA group helps you out with organization, or any combination of the two. To propose a Test Day, just file a ticket in QA trac - full details are at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/Create . For instructions on hosting a Test Day, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management . You can see the schedule at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Fedora_18_test_days . There are many slots open right now, with the earliest on 2012-08-09 and the latest 2012-11-01. Consider the development schedule, though, in deciding when you want to run your Test Day - for some topics you may want to avoid the time before the Alpha release or the time after the feature freeze or the Final freeze. We normally aim to schedule Test Days on Thursdays; however, if you want to run a series of related Test Days, it's often a good idea to do something like Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday of the same week (this is how we usually run the X Test Week, for instance). If all the Thursday slots fill up but more people want to run Test Days, we will open up Tuesday slots as overflows. And finally, if you really want to run a Test Day in a specific timeframe due to the development schedule, but the Thursday slot for that week is full, we can add a slot on another day. We're flexible! Just put in your ticket the date or timeframe you'd like, and we'll figure it out from there. If you have any questions about the Test Day process, please don't hesitate to contact me or any other member of the QA team on test@ or in #fedora-qa on IRC. Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ test-announce mailing list test-announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test-announce

Heads up: nc replaced by nmap ncat
by Petr Šabata 01 Jan '13

01 Jan '13

Dear list, The old Fedora, heavily patched OpenBSD nc package was just obsoleted by the nmap ncat implementation, available as the nmap-ncat subpackage. Those are mostly compatible and this change shouldn't cause much headache but please check your netcat dependant scripts or apps. Related bug: #226187 Thanks to Michal Hlavinka for this. -P

3D printing in Fedora
by Miro Hrončok 30 Dec '12

30 Dec '12

Hi, I am involved in a student group on FIT of Czech Technical University in Prague - in that group, we focus on 3D printing (RepRap). 3D printing needs a set of software on a control PC, such as some kind of 3D modeller (we're currently using OpenSCAD), a slicer (to convert a 3D model to set of instructions for the printer, we're currently using skeinforge and/or Slic3r) and printer interface software (currently Printrun). Installing this basic set of tools on a Linux machine is painful, they aren't usually available in repositories, compiling them includes compiling a bunch of dependencies and we usually end up using binary executables from a tar or git cloning plenty of python scripts. Desktop files and menu entries -> you don't get what you don't create yourself. I am currently working on adding this software to Fedora: https://github.com/hroncok/SPECS/ But that is not where I want to stop. I'd like to create a Fedora RepRap spin and make Fedora the best choice for 3D print guys. At this point, I would like to gather people interested in 3D printing and eventually create a 3D printing SIG. Would anyone be interested and help me?
