HEADS UP: KDE/Qt update intentions in Fedora 13 (RFC)
by Jaroslav Reznik 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

Hi (from the evil KDE SIG;-), we're going to update KDE Plasma Workspaces in Fedora 13 to 4.5.x series. It took some time but we're now pretty sure that it's in a good condition. The question is (we agreed on KDE SIG meeting yesterday) - should we update Qt to 4.7 too or build KDE stack with current 4.6 series? As there are a few Qt packages outside of KDE SIG/Qt maintainers scope, we'd like to hear any objections against update - bugs we can fix etc. Qt 4.7 is quite well tested, thanks to work on Fedora 14 (Qt 4.7 is already included) and a lot of users are actually using this combination in Fedora 13. If I put on my Fedora WebKit SIG hat - there are two big +++ for update: 1. newer QtWebKit makes browser's user experiences much more better 2. it's going to be much more easier to backport security issues to Fedora 13 and we care of security issues - WebKit can be quite vulnerable... Most changes in Qt 4.7 are in mobile development area and new features like Qt Quick. On the other hand, it could slow down KDE update and it will need more rebuilds. Is it worth? Any objections from Qt devels? Please comment...

Mounting an encrypted volume presents the volume to all users on a machine
by nodata 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

Hi, I'm concerned about the default behaviour of mounting encrypted volumes. The default behaviour is that a user must know and supply a passphrase in order to mount an encrypted volume. This is good: know the passphrase, you get to mount the volume. What I am concerned about is that the volume is mounted for _every_ user on the system to see. I've filed a bug about this, and it got closed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=646085 I'm quite in favour of secure by default. In the worst case, the mountpoint would have permissions set to read access to all if you tick a box. Thoughts?

policycoreutils needs cairo.
by Dave Jones 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

I did a minimal install yesterday, and was surprised to find that cairo, and a bunch of X libs were still installed. The dependancy chain that pulled them in looks like this.. policycoreutils -> dbus-glib -> gobject-introspection -> fontconfig -> cairo Could any part of that chain have its dependancies relaxed ?

xz-5.0.0 in rawhide + soname bump
by Jindrich Novy 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

Hi! xz-5.0.0 is now released and soname is now bumped to 5.0.0 in rawhide. The most important changes are: * The compression settings associated with the preset levels -0 ... -9 have been changed. --extreme was changed a little too. It is now less likely to make compression worse, but with some files the new --extreme may compress slightly worse than the old --extreme. * The major soname has been bumped to 5.0.0. liblzma API and ABI are now stable, so the need to recompile programs linking against liblzma shouldn't arise soon. For more news and differences between xz-4.999.9beta and 5.0.0 please read the NEWS file in the main package documentation. The change of compression level presets may cause deltarpm to print "md5 mismatch of result" when rebuilding drpms and downloading full rpms. This message will stop occuring as soon as the original package will be built with the new xz-5.0.0.

i686/x86_64 dual install media
by Mark Bidewell 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

Sorry if this has been discussed, but has there every been discussion of a dual 32/64-bit install media? I realize that the default package selection would be reduced but with a high speed connection it shouldn't be too big of an issue. Having a single ISO for both my 64-bit desktop and 32-bit laptop would be quite nice. -- Mark Bidewell http://www.linkedin.com/in/markbidewell

Net-SNMP soname bump in rawhide
by Jan Safranek 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

I have just rebased Net-SNMP to 5.6 in rawhide. The update includes new soname for all libraries and following packages need to be recompiled: 389-ds-base amavisd-new apcupsd asterisk cacti cluster-glue clustermon collectd cpqarrayd hplip ifstat mon nagios-plugins-snmp-disk-proc netdisco ntop nut openhpi openhpi-subagent OpenIPMI openscada openser opensips pacemaker perl-SNMP-Info php pynetsnmp pysnmp quagga tog-pegasus zabbix Please contact me if something goes wrong, IMO the API is backward compatible and everything should be just fine.
