Provenpackager? Want to help out?
by Jon Ciesla 14 Apr '12

14 Apr '12

Hey! As you're aware, as of F15 we changed our default init system from sysvinit to systemd. But we have lots and lots of packages with daemons, and not all have thus far been migrated. Some maintainers haven't responded, some are too busy, some aren't sure how to go about it. In many cases, unit files have been posted by helpful individuals (Thanks Jóhann B. Guðmundsson!) but they're not yet in the packages. If you're a Provenpackager, check out these two tracking bugs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=713562 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=751869 (mostly this one) And have a look at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Systemd Look through, find something that looks manageable, and volunteer. Most maintainers will be receptive, I think, but remember, offer/ask before jumping in. If they're not responsive, we'll cross that bridge separately. Thanks in advance! -J -- in your fear, seek only peace in your fear, seek only love -d. bowie

Orphaning insight
by Patrick Monnerat 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

I'm afraid I've just orphaned the insight debugger. It now miss dependency iwidgets, that was a working up-to-date package orphaned after the forced password change of last year, unperformed by the iwidgets package owner. I don't want to start I new troll on this subject: this has already been widely discussed :-( But my total disapprobation about this practice encourages me to not continue support for this product. If someone wants to adopt this package, please do. Cheers, Patrick

DHCPv6 *still* broken for F17 alpha
by Paul Wouters 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Can we please address the following bug that is almsot two years old. This bug causes long delays for people enabling IPV6, and causes Fedora to not get any connectivity on IPv6 only networks, unless you disable/reconfigure ip6tables manually https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552099 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=591630 Please, just add the following rules to the default ip6tables: -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 546 --sport 547 -s fe80::/10 -d fe80::/10 -j ACCEPT It would be REALLY nice if we can get this into F17 this time.

F17 x86_64 composes
by Mike Chambers 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

Noticed that x86_64 tree is still NOT installable, as in no boot.iso or anything. Is this going to remain that way for awhile? -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Best little town on Earth!"

GPT and Fedora 17
by Brian C. Lane 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

In Fedora 16 we changed to using GPT as the default disklabel for new installs. In a few cases, mostly limited to Lenovo hardware, we found that some BIOS's would not boot from GPT. We blacklisted Lenovo, falling back to msdos labels in order to solve this. Thanks to Matthew Garrett we found that switching on the boot flag of the GPT's protective MBR these BIOS's would then boot from GPT. Matthew wrote a patch for parted to allow controlling this flag using the disk_set pmbr_boot command in parted. This is in parted-3.0-7 In anaconda-17.6 I have reverted the Lenovo blacklist and changed things so that pmbr_boot is always set on GPT labeled installs. This should ensure that thing boot correctly. If this still causes problems the symptom will be that grub never starts and the bios may complain about not being able to find an OS. If you have problems with this please open a bug with the output from dmidecode You can still force usage of msdos partitions by passing nogpt on the kernel cmdline. -- Brian C.
