Any way to search all .spec files?
by Orion Poplawski 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Is there any was to do a grep/search on all of the Fedora .spec files for a specific release (or devel)? I'd be fine with checking them all out if there was a way to just the the spec files for a specific release. -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA Division FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)cora.nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com

SELinux smolt stats
by James Morris 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

It seems that the SELinux enablement stats are now online -- thanks! I have a question about what the numbers mean. The current values are: SELinux Enabled False 185085 53.3 % True 162262 46.7 % for 347347 registered hosts. Now, the "OS" column include several distros and versions, including FC5, Centos5 through to current rawhide, with the same number of total hosts. As the SELinux figures have only been collected since F8, does this mean that we should calculate "total SELinux enabled" only for: OS Hosts F8 130282 F7.x (rawhide) 5517 F8.x (rawhide) 920 ---------------------------- 136719 (actually providing SELinux stats) ---------------------------- where the percentage enabled is actually thus at least 74% ? - James -- James Morris <jmorris(a)namei.org>

mock 0.9 backport to F7/F8 -- Feb 1
by Michael E Brown 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

All mock users, The mock maintainers (Clark, Jesse, me) will upgrade mock in F7/F8 to current 0.9 on/around Feb 1. The mock 0.9 branch has brewed in rawhide since early Dec, and so far it looks good. The 0.9 branch is now being used on the official build systems, so if there were any major problems, we would expect to have hit them by now. The *only* difference between 0.8.<latest> and 0.9.<latest> at this point is that we have dropped the old mock setuid wrapper and now use the consolehelper subsystem. For this, you will notice new /etc/pam.d/mock, /etc/consolehelper/mock files which configure mock. The default config is set up to operate exactly the same as the old 0.8 branch: ie. you must be a member of the 'mock' group to run mock. Additionally, with consolehelper comes one new feature: if you are not in the 'mock' group, you will be prompted to enter the root password and it will run. This means you can run mock without worrying about any pre-setup. -- Michael

call for texlive related packages maintainers
by Patrice Dumas 15 Mar '08

15 Mar '08

Hello, There are packages that are shipped part of texlive, though texlive is not the upstream for those packages. Among those, some are in fedora texlive, as an exception because they were in tetex previously. I personally don't want to maintain them since I maintain enough packages already, but I can review them. In texlive but should be separate: xdvik (xdvi) http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdvi dvpdfm http://gaspra.kettering.edu/dvipdfm/ dvipng http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/dvipng/ Not in fedora texlive but in upstream texlive: devnag http://devnag.sarovar.org/ detex http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/trinkle/detex/ ttf2pt1 http://ttf2pt1.sourceforge.net/ dvi2tty http://www.mesa.nl/pub/dvi2tty/ chktex afm2pl http://tex.aanhet.net/afm2pl/ lcdf-typetools http://www.lcdf.org/type/ As a side note, dvipdfmx maybe should be packaged from the real upstream http://project.ktug.or.kr/dvipdfmx/ but it is not obvious since it is used in texlive. -- Pat

Beecrypt retired
by Tomas Mraz 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Nobody stepped up to maintain this crypto library which is no longer used by rpm or anything else in Fedora. So the next logical step is to retire this package from rawhide (dist-f9). I will do that tomorrow. -- Tomas Mraz No matter how far down the wrong road you've gone, turn back. Turkish proverb

Auto rebuild release bump issue
by Orion Poplawski 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

For pre-release software, i.e. with a release number starting with "0.", the auto-rebuild release bump should add a .1 to the end (or bump an existing number at the end). In this case I have gdl 0.9-0.pre6.fc9. It got bumped to 0.9-1.pre6.fc9. It should be 0.9-0.pre6.fc9.1. -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA Division FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)cora.nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com

by Jakub 'Livio' Rusinek 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

hi, I just noticed launch of next brainstorming website. this time, ubuntu one [1] . first was opensuse [2] , but they had no voting system and no comments notifications. I wonder if fedora could have such website too, to see what users need. 1| http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ 2| http://idea.opensuse.org/ -- Livio

firewall changes for F-9+
by Thomas Woerner 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Hello, here are the latest changes for system-config-firewall for F-9+: The usage of --port=<port>:<proto> for lokkit will open up this port and not a service using this port anymore. To enable a service you have to use the new --service=<name> option. There are no magic default open services. You have to open up the services, you want to use. The interim options --no-X; X in ["ipsec", "mdns", "ipp"] are obsolete now. To setup a new firewall, you can use the new --default=<name> configuration option as a start: server : ssh is enabled desktop : ipsec, mdns and ipp are enabled These changes for lokkit also affect the kickstart firewall configuration. There is an utility to convert existing configurations, which will be used automatically while updating the package. Thanks, Thomas
