kernel compile produces 1.2+GB of data
by Dax Kelson 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

A freshly, not updated FC2 box: du -hs /usr/src/linux/linux-2.6.5-1.358/ 220M /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/ cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/ make mrproper cp configs/kernel-2.6.5-i686.config .config make oldconfig make du -hs /usr/src/linux/linux-2.6.5-1.358/ 1.2GB (or thereabouts) I have done no more examination, before I do, does anyone know what's up? The resultant kernel and modules are fine FWIW, so no problem there, just the size is the issue. On a SUSE Linux 9.1 with the shipped 2.6.4-something, the final du results are ~400MB. -- Dax Kelson <dax(a)gurulabs.com>

Announcement: improved fedora.us UPDATE submission policy
by Ville Skyttä 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

On behalf of core fedora.us developers, I'm glad to announce the first concrete step of an ongoing work to improve the flow and documentation of the fedora.us package submission process: improved process for package UPDATEs. This updated process is effective immediately. The most noteworthy change is that trusted developers may now self-approve their own updates. More info in Wiki: http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackageSubmissionQAPolicy#updates http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraPeople http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PUBLISHCriteria We are working on other process and documentation improvements as well, stay tuned.

Help Needed: Firefox 0.9 & Thunderbird 0.7
by Warren Togami 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1617 Firefox 0.9 https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1765 Thunderbird 0.7 Your help is needed to fix the Firefox 0.9 and Thunderbird 0.7 packages for Fedora Extras updates. Both have problems that may require upstream help in order to solve. Even if you are unable to program, your assistance in communicating with upstream developers would be greatly appreciated.

Preliminary OpenAFS 1.3.x RPM for Fedora Core 2
by Matthew Miller 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

I know OpenAFS isn't well-loved at Red Hat, but we're kinda dependent on it here. (Maybe the in-kernel AFS will be a large part of our solution in the future, but it needs a lot more work.) And, as of, um, two days ago, OpenAFS CVS + some patches builds and runs on Fedora Core 2. So, I've put together a preliminary RPM, and I'd like some help making it as perfect as possible. <http://www.mattdm.org/misc/openafs/> Please read the README.RPM and TODO.RPM files included in the src.rpm. (Also conveniently on the above web site, which is a little ugly because I'm lazy.) Specific caveats: it's very cutting edge, and some things (SMP, for example) don't work at all. You may get PAG support if you rebuild your kernel to export the syscall table -- I haven't tried. Otherwise, you won't. Any bugs in the new init script or in the specfile, or suggestions for improvements, please let me know! Thanks! -- Matthew Miller mattdm(a)mattdm.org <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>

sigwaitinfo() does not work in FC2?
by Xu, Jin J 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

Hi, all, I wrote a small program to handle thousands of TCP connections and tens of segments each second on each connection. To do this, I use rtsignal to notify application when socket is ready for read. The basic idea of this program is like this: After program start, block the SIGRTMIN and SIGIO in the main thread by: sigset_t sset; sigemptyset(&sset); sigaddset( &sset, SIGRTMIN ); sigaddset( &sset, SIGIO ); pthread_sigmask( SIG_BLOCK, &sset, NULL ); In one thread, accept the connection request and set signal on it: ... Int fd = accept( ......); flags = fcntl(sock, F_GETFL, 0); fcntl(sock, F_SETFL, flags | O_NONBLOCK | O_ASYNC ); fcntl(sock, F_SETSIG, SIGRTMIN ); fcntl(sock, F_SETOWN, sigpid ); ... And in the work thread, use sigwaitinfo to get the rtsignal from queue. sigset_t sset; sigemptyset( &sset ); sigaddset( &sset, SIGIO ); sigaddset( &sset, SIGRTMIN ); while ( true ) { int sig = sigwaitinfo( &sset, &siginfo ); if ( sig == SIGRTMIN ) { if ( siginfo.si_band & POLL_IN ) { do_read_pack( siginfo.si_fd ); } else if ( siginfo.si_band & POLL_HUP ) { do_disconn( siginfo.si_fd ); } else if ( siginfo.si_band & POLL_ERR ) { do_error( siginfo.si_fd ); } } } This program can work on most of the platforms, but, in FC2, the work thread is blocked on sigwaitinfo while the signal is queuing in the kernel. (I can see the number in /proc/sys/kernel/rtsig-nr is increasing rapidly). At last, the queue overflow, and the sigwaitinfo returns a SIGIO. My environments is FC2 (2.6.6-1.435smp) on an old dual P3 Xeon, glibc-2.3.3-27. This program can work in RHEL 3.0 AS (2.4.21-9.ELsmp, glibc-2.3.2-95.6). Has anybody ever meet the same problem as me? Or anybody has any ideas? Thank you in advance - Jin

Initrd Help - Upgrading the kernel
by Ivan Gyurdiev 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

Hi, I'm sorry for posting this but I'd like to ask for a favor. I'm stuck and unable to upgrade the kernel. That's because the initrd (which I need to load xfs) is generated post-install, and losetup does not work on my system. It fails with memlock: Unable to lock into memory. I filed a bug, but after some googling around I found a message from Warren Togami that this issue is kernel-related and has been fixed in later releases. The problem is that I'm stuck at this particular release (414) with no other kernel. Knoppix chroot has some permission issue that won't let me do anything useful. So the favor I'd like to ask is: can someone send me the generated initrd for the 448 kernel, with the xfs module in particular on it? I don't do raid or lvm or anything strange like that. I'd really appreciate some help. I'll test SElinux and the kernel and everything afterwards...

packages that BuildRequire: gettext that need to change to gettext-devel
by Colin Walters 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

Hi, I recently got a bug (#125042) that suggested that gstreamer should BuildRequire cvs. This sounded very odd, so I investigated a bit. It turns out that we invoke the gettext program "autopoint", which internally uses cvs (which seems crack to me, but that's another issue). The "autopoint" program is presently included in the "gettext" package. Since it's really autopoint that requires CVS, it seems to me that the package containing autopoint should BuildRequire: cvs. However, since gettext is essentially part of the base system, this would force cvs in too. So as an alternative, I'd like to move autopoint (and probably more development tools) into gettext-devel. See bug #126071. This brings up the main point: a lot of packages presently BuildRequire: gettext, and I think all of them will need to change to gettext-devel. This is the list from rawhide: [walters@porkchop fc3]$ for pkg in $(ls -1); do (cd $pkg; latest=$(ls -1 | tail -1); if rpm -qp --requires $latest/SRPMS/$pkg-$latest.src.rpm | grep -q gettext; then echo $pkg; fi); done anaconda binutils bug-buddy chkconfig compat-gcc control-center coreutils eog evolution firstboot gcc gcc34 GConf2 gdm gedit ggv gkrellm glib2 gnome-desktop gnome-games gnome-libs gnome-mag gnome-session gnome-system-monitor gnome-terminal gnome-themes gnome-utils gnopernicus gnumeric gok gpdf gqview grep gstreamer gthumb gtkhtml3 gtksourceview initscripts k3b kdebase kudzu libgtop2 mc nautilus-cd-burner quota rhpl rhythmbox system-config-printer system-config-samba system-config-securitylevel system-config-users vim xchat xfsprogs

Watch Out... missing 'localhost'
by Warren Togami 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

Please be on the look out for some network configuration tool in FC2 that leaves /etc/hosts without "localhost" entries. I just discovered that my system /etc/hosts was blank with only the following lines after using netconfig and neat several times switching between DHCP, static, and dialup networking... so I don't know what caused it. # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. This seems to have exposed problems of robustness in services IIim and sendmail. Investigating those now. Warren Togami wtogami(a)redhat.com

Rawhide signatures
by Brian Gerst 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

When I run up2date, I keep getting "Package xxx does not have a GPG signature, Aborting." Are these packages really unsigned or do I not have the right signature imported into RPM? -- Brian Gerst
