It's in redhat-rpm-config-118-1.fc30. If it causes any problems for you - let me know. In the meantime, you can use `%undefine _ld_as_needed` to disable it. Thanks for attention! -- -Igor Gnatenko

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

pdftk retired?
by Michael J Gruber 08 Sep '21

08 Sep '21

I just git a "broken dependencies" notice for a package that I maintain. The reason is that "pdftk" got retired just the other day. I may have missed a corresponding post on fedora-devel, but I think a heads up notice to maintainers of depending packages may be in order before you retire a package, as a general idea. You see, unretiring a package is so much more work than changing maintainership. As for pdftk: I see 2 failed builds for version 1.45 and none for the current version 2.02 (which probably breaks the api anyways). What are the plans? Retire pdftk completely? Start fresh with pdftk2? pdflabs, the maker of pdftk, provide binary as well as source rpms for pdftk 2.02, by the way. I might even look into packaging it but don't want to duplicate any existing efforts. Michael

Remove old GPG keys?
by Miroslav Suchý 04 May '21

04 May '21

I just stumbled upon https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/400634/does-anyone-bother-to-remov… with the nice link to: https://blog.laimbock.com/2014/05/02/how-to-remove-an-imported-gpg-key-from… And I wonder: is it a good idea to keep old gpg keys in RPM db? Or should we automate the removal of old keys? Mirek

Headsup: dbus 1.12.10-1.fc29 is missing systemd dbus.service file, breaking almost everything
by Hans de Goede 04 Aug '20

04 Aug '20

Hi All, Just a quick headsup for users following Fedora 29, the dbus 1.12.10-1.fc29 build is missing the systemd dbus.service file, breaking almost everything. Instead it contains a dbus-daemon.service file, but the dbus.socket file expects a matching dbus.service, not dbus-daemon.service. So either hold of on applying updates until this is fixed or exclude dbus. Regards, Hans

Adding Obsoletes to generated -debuginfo packages ?
by Daniel P. Berrangé 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

In libvirt we recently deleted a driver for the legacy Xen toolstack. This was shipped in a libvirt-daemon-driver-xen RPM. I am able to add an "Obsoletes: libvirt-daemon-driver-xen < 4.3.0" line to the libvirt-daemon-driver-libxl RPM, which gives clean upgrade path for users. If they have the libvirt-daemon-driver-xen-debuginfo RPM installed though that still breaks the upgrade. How can I get the auto-generated libvirt-daemon-driver-libxl-debuginfo RPM to have an "Obsoletes: libvirt-daemon-driver-xen-debuginfo < 4.3.0" statement ? It seems impossible, meaning users with debuginfo have a broken upgrade path. An unfortunate consequence of switching to seprate -debuginfo per sub-RPM.

Use immutable CRAN URLs
by Iñaki Ucar 06 Nov '19

06 Nov '19

Hi, Currently, most of the R packages included in Fedora use the following lines in the SPEC: URL: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/%{packname}/ Source0: https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/%{packname}_%{version}.tar.gz This URL format is not recommended by CRAN, but more importantly, the Source0 format does not work anymore, as [1] noted, when a new version is released. However, there is an immutable format available, as [2] pointed out. So my proposal is to use always the following lines instead: URL: https://cran.r-project.org/package=%{packname} Source0: %{url}&version=%{version} which are both shorter and immutable, and I propose to add this to the R packaging guidelines too. If we agree on this, is there any easy way to request a system-wide change like that to all existing packages? Regards, -- Iñaki Ucar [1] https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2018-October/076988.html [2] https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2018-October/076989.html

startx unsets DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, which breaks user D-Bus session
by Alexey Rochev 19 Aug '19

19 Aug '19

Hello, I would like to draw some attention to this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1622259. Description: startx unsets DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, which result in launching another D-Bus session which breaks communicating with user systemd services (and any D-Bus services started before launching X) from X session via D-Bus, since they use two different D-Bus daemons. I would really like this bug to be fixed. Thanks, Alexey Rochev
