upgrading RH 9 system->Fedora with iso files and apt only
by Didier Casse 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

I have the yarrow's iso files on my HD in a RH9 system. Let's say I want to upgrade selected packages using an "apt-get install" pointing to my iso-mounted files, how do I do it? i.e I mount the iso into some /mnt/yarrow1, /mnt/yarrow 2 etc.. Then what is the complete procedure to make my apt look into my own HD to upgrade packages. Can anybody redirect me to the correct resource or some literature hanging on the web? Thanks. Assume also that I do not wish to burn CDs! I do not want to use apt-cdrom. Thanks. With kind regards, Didier. --- PhD student Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS) 5 Research Link, Singapore 117603 Email: slsbdfc at nus dot edu dot sg \or\ didierbe at sps dot nus dot edu dot sg Website: http://ssls.nus.edu.sg

pdftk retired?
by Michael J Gruber 08 Sep '21

08 Sep '21

I just git a "broken dependencies" notice for a package that I maintain. The reason is that "pdftk" got retired just the other day. I may have missed a corresponding post on fedora-devel, but I think a heads up notice to maintainers of depending packages may be in order before you retire a package, as a general idea. You see, unretiring a package is so much more work than changing maintainership. As for pdftk: I see 2 failed builds for version 1.45 and none for the current version 2.02 (which probably breaks the api anyways). What are the plans? Retire pdftk completely? Start fresh with pdftk2? pdflabs, the maker of pdftk, provide binary as well as source rpms for pdftk 2.02, by the way. I might even look into packaging it but don't want to duplicate any existing efforts. Michael

Intel's Clear Linux optimizations
by František Zatloukal 08 Feb '19

08 Feb '19

Hi, Phoronix recently release article[1] about Intel's Clear Linux with some cool graphs showing nice performance gain compared to Xubuntu. I didn't have time to dig in and look how it's performing against Fedora, but I'd assume Fedora can be compared to Xubuntu in terms of compiler settings. I think i'll be interesting to look into it and find out if Fedora can't tweak compiler settings (eg use LTO for critical things like Mesa, Kernel, ...). I think it could be interesting fo Fedora users to have this enabled if there are not any disadvantages other than compile time, compile memory usage and so on. What do you think?

Rstudio
by Steve Grubb 20 Jan '18

20 Jan '18

Hello, I like to have everything on my system in a package. So, I looked around and found no recipe or rpm for Rstudio. This is really a shame because every tutorial on R kinda tells you to install it. Even the Coursera classes in the Data Science track make you install it and send a screenshot to prove it. So, I spent some time getting it packaged and working. I am placing the spec file and necessary patch here so that google finds it and saves other people the trouble. I'm not wanting to submit the package to Fedora because its more work than I have time for. If anyone else wants to take it from here and submit and/or maintain it, feel free. http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/Rstudio/ Enjoy... -Steve

apitrace, bundled libbacktrace
by Sandro Mani 17 Dec '17

17 Dec '17

Hi, apitrace 5.0 bundles libbacktrace, which looks like is living within the gcc sources. libbacktrace is not build as a shared library from the gcc sources, and not packaged. Is it feasible to build libbacktrace as a shared library and ship it in a corresponding package? Or should I rather go for a bundling exception request? Thanks, Sandro

iproute package update policy
by Phil Sutter 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

Hi, So far my idea of maintaining Fedora's iproute package was to do full version updates only in Rawhide and backport patches selectively to stable versions on behalf of bug reports. But since stable versions indeed receive full kernel updates (not just backported patches), there is an understandable amount of frustration amongst users when the shiny new kernel that comes with e.g. F22 provides features userspace does not support. Especially since upstream iproute2 does not really have a concept of stable versions, I'm in a bit of a dilemma here: update to keep in sync with the kernel or not update to not unnecessarily destabilize the system? Any comments/advice are highly appreciated. Thanks, Phil
