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

projectM
by Jameson 08 Dec '12

08 Dec '12

Unfortunately, I'm no longer in a position to maintain the projectM packages (libprojectM, libprojectM-qt, projectM-jack, projectM-libvisual, and projectM-pulseaudio), so I will need to orphan these. If anyone would like to pick these up, feel free to come to me with questions, or help. Thanks, =-Jameson

cone : potentially orphaned package
by Michael Schwendt 08 Dec '12

08 Dec '12

2011-06-23 : FTBFS not responded to 2010-06-30 : -static packaging bug not responded to Plus, release 0.89 from 20-May-2011 is available whereas Fedora contains 0.84 from 2010 ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/courier/files/cone/ ). This looks like somebody with interest in Cone should sign up as co-maintainer and find out what's up with the current maintainer. http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/cone -- Fedora release 16 (Verne) - Linux 3.1.1-2.fc16.x86_64 loadavg: 0.82 1.09 0.87

[HEADS-UP] Rawhide: /tmp is now on tmpfs
by Lennart Poettering 13 Sep '12

13 Sep '12

Heya! Please be aware that since the most recent systemd uploads /tmp is now in tmpfs by default in Rawhide/F18. For details please see this feature page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/tmp-on-tmpfs If you have an explicit /tmp entry in fstab things should continue to work the same as before. If you don't then you will now get a tmpfs on /tmp by default. This will most likely lead to a problem or two with software that isn't happy about /tmp being small. We have created a tracker bug to keep track of this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=826015 If you have identified a bug that is triggered by /tmp being on tmpfs now, please add it to this tracker bug! For a bit of background on all of this and recommendations for developers, please see: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/tmp.html Thank you, Lennart -- Lennart Poettering - Red Hat, Inc.

I'm going to try to get OCaml 4.00.0 beta 2 into Rawhide today. https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/arc/caml-list/2012-06/msg00030.html http://caml.inria.fr/pub/distrib/ocaml-4.00/ It's supposed to be compatible. I will rebuild as many OCaml packages as I can over the next few days.

Hello colleagues developers, Following the procedure http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_maintainer_policy#What_to_do_if_a_mai… I would like to take the ownership of the dd_rescue and ddrescue packages. It seems it is not possible to contact original owner of these packages - Andreas Thienemann - for quite some time. - I have tried several times to contact the owner - bugzilla/emails - bugs for the upgrade to current versions are opened for extensive time ddrescue https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=591042 dd_rescue https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=807220 - tried to search for contact here on the devel list http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-June/168582.html If nobody has any objections I would like to co-maintain these packages, continue updating these packages and keeping Andreas Thienemann as co-maintainer for the case he would return to Fedora world. Best regards Michal Ambroz
