Looking for help with a ppc64 build failure

06 Mar '08

Hi all, I'm looking for some help with a ppc64 build failure I'm getting with telepathy-glib. Here's the error I'm seeing: <snip> (cd .libs && rm -f libtelepathy-glib-internal.la && ln -s ../libtelepathy-glib-internal.la libtelepathy-glib-internal.la) /usr/bin/nm -B .libs/libtelepathy-glib-internal.a > _gen/abi.nm grep " T " < _gen/abi.nm > _gen/abi.funcs make[3]: *** [_gen/abi.txt] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/builddir/build/BUILD/telepathy-glib-0.7.2/telepathy-glib' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 rm _gen/tp-spec-channel.xml _gen/tp-spec-connection.xml _gen/tp-spec-dbus-daemon.xml _gen/tp-spec-media-session-handler.xml _gen/tp-spec-connection-manager.xml _gen/tp-spec-media-stream-handler.xml _gen/tp-spec-generic.xml make[2]: Leaving directory `/builddir/build/BUILD/telepathy-glib-0.7.2/telepathy-glib' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/builddir/build/BUILD/telepathy-glib-0.7.2' make: *** [all] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.29620 (%build) <snip> Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

upstart testers wanted!
by Bill Nottingham 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Before we put upstart into the main tree for the feature freeze, we want to make sure we have all the big bugs worked out. If you're interested in helping out, read on! To start, just grab the repo file at http://notting.fedorapeople.org/upstart/upstart.repo and do an upgrade (or 'yum install upstart event-compat-sysv') WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR ----------------------- Confirmation that the system boots and runs more or less as expected. CAVEATS ------- If you're using SELinux, make sure you're running the latest rawhide policy, as well as an initramfs made with the latest rawhide mkinitrd. This is because upstart does not load policy directly - it relies on policy being loaded from initramfs. Please file bugs against the proper components in bugzilla; if you want to see known issues, take a look at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=431106&hide_resolved=1 Bill

InstantMirror needs a rethink
by Warren Togami 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Today InstantMirror is pretty useful for home and small office mirrors, but its limitations make it unsustainable without manual intervention of the sysadmin. I've been beginning to think that perhaps InstantMirror is heading down the wrong path and we seriously need to rethink it. There are simply too many limitations of the current "stateless" operation of InstantMirror where it runs only on-demand as mod_python script: - Synchronization/locking of multiple connections downloading the same file is awkward and broken. - There is no good way to clean up aborted tmp files. - There is no good way to know what are old files that need pruning. - There is no good way of keeping track of the "Big Picture" of its own cache, "least recently used" knowing what files were unpopular locally and should be pruned. https://fedorahosted.org/InstantMirror/wiki/InstantMirrorDaemon We need a daemon to handle all this. Perhaps the daemon could allow socket connections from a mod_python script for accesses. Or perhaps it might be better for the daemon itself to handle serving connections. Stepping back, what we really need is: A reverse proxy caching server with all the logic of squid or varnish, except it stores its cache with file and directory names intact. How do we get there? 1) Write a new daemon from scratch? 2) Write a new backend storage engine for squid or varnish? (Store files in target directory structure, store metadata elsewhere.) 3) ??? Any thoughts? Warren Togami wtogami(a)redhat.com

rpmlint says 'no-jar-manifest'
by Richard W.M. Jones 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

I get this error from rpmlint, but there's not much guidance on what to do about it. Apparently it's because the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file is missing from the jar file. However these jar files still seem to work OK with everything I've tried, so should I just ignore this? ocaml-ocamljava.i386: E: no-jar-manifest /usr/lib/ocaml/threads.jar ocaml-ocamljava.i386: E: no-jar-manifest /usr/lib/ocaml/bigarray.jar ocaml-ocamljava.i386: E: no-jar-manifest /usr/lib/ocaml/stdlib.jar ocaml-ocamljava.i386: E: no-jar-manifest /usr/lib/ocaml/dbm.jar ocaml-ocamljava.i386: E: no-jar-manifest /usr/lib/ocaml/graphics.jar ocaml-ocamljava.i386: E: no-jar-manifest /usr/lib/ocaml/str.jar ocaml-ocamljava.i386: E: no-jar-manifest /usr/lib/ocaml/unix.jar ocaml-ocamljava.i386: E: no-jar-manifest /usr/lib/ocaml/nums.jar ocaml-ocamljava.i386: E: no-jar-manifest /usr/lib/ocaml/cadmium/cadmiumLibrary.jar Here's the package I'm building: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=434560 Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.

sysctl dev.rtc.max-user-freq no longer exists in the kernel
by Chuck Anderson 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

What happened to this sysctl? It appears that some stuff depends on this setting, e.g. kqemu. There is only a hpet.max-user-freq now and I get this funky permission error on 'sysctl -a': # /sbin/sysctl -a | grep freq error: permission denied on key 'kernel.sched_nr_migrate' dev.hpet.max-user-freq = 64 # /sbin/sysctl -n -q dev.rtc.max-user-freq error: "dev.rtc.max-user-freq" is an unknown key

file dependencies and packages and [blocker] bugs
by Seth Vidal 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Hi all, I've compiled a list of all packages that have a file dependency outside of these globs: *bin/*, /etc/* I'm going to file a bug against each of the packages to see if we can work out a virtual provide/requires to deal with this problem. The issue is this: In order for apt/smart/yum to depsolve for a dependency like: /usr/libexec/poker3d/underware each of them have to download the full filelists for ALL enabled repositories in the configuration. For Everything it is 8MB For Updates it is 3.5MB That's a fair sized chunk. In the shape of updates it gets updated frequently and it needs to be re-downloaded. That's unfortunate for a lot of users. So I'm going to file bugs against each of the packages which have this issue and we're going to work out a solution. One way or another. :) Rawhide: http://skvidal.fedorapeople.org/misc/crack-filedeps-by-pkg-rawhide What I'm going to recommend for the moment is that for each package with a file-dep for multilib purposes we consider making virtual provides in the corresponding providing pkg[s] that handle the declaration per-architecture or library-type. In some cases this is just legacy dreck that we can now clean up. -sv

03 Mar '08

Hello All! Why there is no any eMule/eDonkey software titles in Fedora main repository while there are number of torrent-related ones? What's the difference between them? -- With best regards!
