Dovecot 1.0
by Willem Riede 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

Can we have dovecot 1.0 alpha4 in FC5? Even though the word alpha is present in the version, it is quite stable, and fixes many problems that there are in 0.99.14. As a matter of fact, there is no upstream support for 0.99.x. Any reports are met with 'please upgrade and your problem will likely be over'. Take bugs 163550 and 173928 - you can probably just close them after this move :-) I built my own rpm for alpha4, and have it working quite well on FC5test1. Thanks, Willem Riede.

More mass rebuilds for GCC
by Jesse Keating 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

As you'll notice, there will be lots more packages bumped for the rebase to gcc. Most completed today, but we'll be working through a list of failures over the next couple days. Things will still be in a bit of flux, but we're working on it. Java is still being worked on too. Getting the java stack built with gcj is a great accomplishment and I really respect our java and gcj team for putting in the work to further the free java. Please bare with us as we finalize the development changes necessary to accomplish this task. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora

bittorrent in core? what frontend?
by Alexander Larsson 10 Jan '06

10 Jan '06

At some point in time we in the desktop group discussed shipping bittorrent and a nice frontend in fedora core. Since more and more people start to use this as a standard way of distributing software (e.g. fedora core itself uses this) it really should be supported in a default desktop install, so that when you click on a torrent file in the browser something "nice" happens. What are peoples opinions on this? Another question is what frontend to use as a default. bittorrent itself ships with a wxPython based frontend (bittorrent-gui, availible with bittorrent in fedora extras). Another frontend is gnome-bt (http://gnome-bt.sourceforge.net/) which is designed more like a simple *.torrent mime handler rather than a full bittorrent app. Ubuntu defaults to this i think. I packaged gnome-bt at: http://people.redhat.com/alexl/files/gnome-bt-0.0.22-1.noarch.rpm http://people.redhat.com/alexl/files/gnome-bt-0.0.22-1.src.rpm I don't use bittorrent all that much. What do people think about these two frontends? Are there other interesting ones? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc alexl(a)redhat.com alla(a)lysator.liu.se He's an uncontrollable guitar-strumming farmboy with a robot buddy named Sparky.

Fedora Directory Server in rawhide/FC5?
by Axel Thimm 10 Jan '06

10 Jan '06

Hi, it is too late to have FDS be part of FC5, isn't it? Is anyone working on pushing a package into rawhide anyway? Thanks. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net

I am interested in building a cnfiguration tool for sshd to help me learn the python language better, and also to contribute to the fedora project. But I need some help: Knowledge - HOWTOs, tutorial, whitepapers, etc that I need to read to properly write a system-config applicat ion Rules - Standards, and guidelines that I shoudl follow Technologies - gui toolkits, modules, etc that I should stick to in learning and building a system-config tool. Thanks for your assistance and time. PS: the fedora-config-list is dead, so I'm reposting here

Using yum to Update to Development
by Andrew Stephen 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hi I am trying to use yum to update one of my FC4 boxes to latest set of development packages. However it fails on a number of dependencies and I can't seem get around them even by installing them manually. Is there any documentation outlining the steps on upgrade from FC4 to the development packages. libssl.so.5 and libcrypto.so.5 seems causing most of the problems. --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: libssl.so.5 for package: proftpd --> Processing Dependency: libcrypto.so.5 for package: proftpd --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: libssl.so.5 is needed by package proftpd Error: Missing Dependency: libcrypto.so.5 is needed by package proftpd Cheers Andrew

ATrpms and FC5/RHEL5
by Axel Thimm 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

So, is there interest to have ATrpms for FC5 less overlapping with core packages? If so, is there any redhat.com folk that would be willing to add versioned obsoletes/provides to core specfiles? That's neccessary to ensure upgradability. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net

Palm sync status?
by David 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

Hi, I just bought a Treo 650 and was looking for info about how to use it with FC4 when I found a posting which says FC4 is "completely broken with respect to Palm syncronization". Is this supposed to be addressed in FC5, or should I "downgrade" to FC3? Has anybody synced a Treo with Evolution in FC5-test1? I asked this message on fedora-list and somebody responded saying that there was a discussion on this list. But I haven't been able to find anything definitive that says whether FC5 is supposed to fix the FC4 syncing problems. Does anyone know? Will I be able to sync a Treo 650 with evolution? Thanks...
