system-config-printer
by James Sylvester 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

I can only agree with Tim. Having, for 5 months attempted to configure a new scx4600 Epson printer/scanner to operate in Fedora 3. I have yet to accomplish this feat in the way that the printer designers and the Epson Kowa Company (a third party Japanese linux driver software company) intended the printer/scanner to operate. If a printer is not in the Xml, Gnome, KDE, Cups, Gimp, or Ghost driver database, the current system will defeat a third party linux printer driver from operating at its designed capacity. I believe that it will take time to review and integrate any solution into Core 4. Core 5, possibly? A beginning may be to allow the current system-config-printer to permit brand x software to be inserted into Gnome or Cups without waiting for these installers to place in there database the specific printer. All good things come with time. Unfortunately, diligent input is a necessary partner for "good things". Jim Sylvester

FC1/FC3/FC4 e2fs compatibility
by Gene C. 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

I recently noticed that e2fsck running on a FC1 system would not run against a partition created under FC3. If I rebuilt the e2fsprogs package from FC3 on FC1, that would work. So my question: Assume that selinux is disabled, are there any problems accessing partitions created and used by a FC1, FC2 or FC4(rawhide) system with another FC1, FC3 or FC4 system. Would everything be OK? Would anything be corrupted? -- Gene

Building subversion javahl bindings
by Pedro Lamarão 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

I've got this patch to subversion.spec that allows optional building of javahl bindings with a variable-specified JDK path. I've built it as I need Subclipse to work. What do you all think? -- Pedro Lamarão
