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

autoconf breakage on x86_64.
by Sam Varshavchik 26 Sep '06

26 Sep '06

I don't know the right way to fix this, but something is definitely broken; and something needs to be fixed, one way or the other. The question is what exactly needs to be fixed. Consider something like this: LIBS="-lresolv $LIBS" AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC(res_query, AC_MSG_RESULT(yes), AC_MSG_RESULT(no)) Here's what happens on x86_64: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -I.. -I./.. conftest.c -lresolv >&5 /tmp/ccW7EeDX.o(.text+0x7): In function `main': /home/mrsam/src/courier/authlib/configure:5160: undefined reference to `res_query' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:5147: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: [ blah blah blah ] | /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 | builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ | char res_query (); | int | main () | { | res_query (); | ; | return 0; | } The same exact test on FC1 x86 will work. The reason appears to be that you have to #include <resolv.conf> on x86_64 in order to succesfully pull res_query() out of libresolv.so. You don't need to do this on x86, and the test program generated by AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC does not include any headers, but uses a manual prototype. So, what now?

APT repository problems with up2date
by Jos Vos 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Hi, Before I start digging in the up2date code myself, maybe someone can comment on this: I have a problem when using up2date up2date with my self-created APT repositories. When updating, it complains about conflicting files: it just thinks that a long list of directories that are shared among packages conflict with each other. Apt-get itself (and synaptic) seems to work fine with the same repository, only with up2date there is a problem. Also, up2date with a yum repository of then same package set works fine, as does yum itself. FWIW: I generate my APT repositories with --flat --bloat.

gnupg newpg gpgme gpgme03 cryptplug isuses
by Dennis Gilmore 29 Oct '04

29 Oct '04

Recently the version of libgcrypt was increased to 1.1.94 as a result of this newpg would not build against the newer libgcrypt i sent an email to gcrypt-devel list and this is what i got back <quote> Don't build newpg at all. It has been superseded by gnupg-1.9.x . You would need an old libgcrypt < 1.1.42 to build it. The configure sscript was not able to detect newer versions with a changed API. </quote> we have a problem here seems we no longer need newpg but we need things it provides for gpgme gpgme03 cryptplug gpa kgpg (which doesnt complain so much just says its not there) to get these things it provides we need to go to the newer gnupg or we need to revert back to the older libgcrypt. being so late in the cycle i dont know which would be best. so i thought id ask before filling a bug against something. it does need to be fixed before final is out as people will complain if they cant decrypt email in kmail or mutt gpa doesnt work etc. i think we should probably go back to the old version of libgcrypt Dennis

Updated Mozilla Firefox Roadmap
by Féliciano Matias 18 Aug '04

18 Aug '04

The roadmap targets 1.0 release for September 14th (one week before FC3T3) : http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/roadmap.html FC3 for October 18th Since Evolution is the default mail client, perhaps it's time to push FireFox in Fedora Core and set it as default browser. Or it's better to wait FireFox 1.0 _and_ Thunderbird 1.0.

Linux-ATM support.
by Lamar Owen 05 Aug '04

05 Aug '04

Ok, a bit of introduction. Due to some phenomenal eBay buys, I have a fairly elaborate ATM network here at PARI. I have five 3Com CoreBuilder 7000 5Gbps switches, a dozen or so dual OC-12 cards, bunches of OC-3 cards, etc. I have a Dell PowerEdge 1600SC running FC1 with a ForeRunner HE622 OC-12 NIC installed that is working very well with the linux-atm project's LANE code (oddly, I can't rebuild from source due to some fancy things a few of the low-level diag pprograms need from the kernel headers, but since the linux-atm project provides prebuilt binary RPMs that's not a big issue). I get good bandwidth through the HE with a LANE LEC set up with the zeppelin, atmsigd, and ilmid setup as shipped with the linux-atm userland package. So, I am setting up a second Dell 1600SC with another HE622 card to test the ATM cloud's performance. This 1600SC is my testbed and is running FC2. So I install the linux-atm userland, and attempt to use the HE. Well, the .358 kernel doesn't have the HE or any ATM drivers. So I updated to the latest, and it has CONFIG_ATM unset, too. My question to the kernel maintainers here (Arjan, Alan, and Dave) is simply 'Why no ATM?' The ATM support is actively maintained, is production quality, etc. The second question is 'how do you generate the configs used in the kernel SRPM' and is that tool available as part of the SRPM? I will be recompiling with ATM support, but I want to use the Officially Approved rpmbuild --rebuild kernel-x.y.z-a.b.c.src.rpm method, since I want to distribute this kernel internally to all machines that will be running ATM cards. I am not uncomfortable hand-editing the config file, but I know that that is suboptimal. This of course is the Way to Do It since the desire is to not ship kernel-sourcecode anymore, so custom kernels have to come from the SRPM, which is fine by me as long as the configuration tools used to generate those prepackaged configs are available. I am looking at system-config-network too for ATM support; I know this is not a RedHat-supported item, but it is something I will need at some point, since I want native ATM networking available to some of my users. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu
