FAS accounts: Who is from India?
by Rahul Sundaram 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

Hi, I was looking to query FAS to figure out how many people are from India and was pointed to https://fedorahosted.org/releases/p/y/python-fedora/doc/api.html#fedora-acc… With python-fedora, we should be able to get the details, I think. Anyone, care to look at this? It would be useful for gathering some metrics and potentially get in touch, assuming the privacy policy allows that. Rahul

Rakesh pointed out that XPaint is available in ATRPMs [1]. Is it an option for you to enable ATRPMs till we get it into Fedora proper, assuming that there are no hitherto unseen hurdles?

Right up, I'd suggest that a few sessions helping the audience get up to speed with installation, configuration and basics about using networking, version control, mailing lists, IRC etc should suffice. Given that you say this is a set of 'novice skills' forming an User Group and interacting intensely with projects would lead to a quicker round of knowledge sharing. The FAD page on the wiki is organic - any set of activities that should help a group of people develop into better contributors evolves into an Activity Day. So, it is up to us to choose what should such activities be :) Nice isn't it ? -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work

Fwd: [Rpm-announce] rpm 4.6.0 release candidate 4
by Rakesh Pandit 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

FYI, ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Panu Matilainen <pmatilai(a)redhat.com> Date: 2009/1/30 Subject: [Rpm-announce] rpm 4.6.0 release candidate 4 To: rpm-maint(a)lists.rpm.org, rpm-announce(a)lists.rpm.org Here comes what's hopefully the last RC before 4.6.0 final, been dragging on too long already. Download info and generic 4.6.0 release note draft is (still) at http://rpm.org/wiki/Releases/4.6.0, below you'll find the change summaries since RC1 - if you wonder what happened to RC2 and RC3, they went online unannounced, trying to make up for that here... Changes from RC3 - RC4: - package having explicit RPMTAG_SOURCEPACKAGE is always SRPM (rhbz#478907) - safer update on file digest algorithm change (#479869) - dont think of gpg-pubkeys as source headers - reflect Filemd5s -> Filedigests index name change in macro config too - dont segfault on NULL argument to rpmpsGetProblem() - dont segfault on "" rcfiles argument - dont segfault if rootDir is NULL - dont try to create "" directories - dont segfault in pgpPubkeyFingerprint() if rpmDigest* fails - fix regression in rpmdsMerge() on rpmdsSingle() and rpmdsThis() items - fix memleak on I18N strings retrieved with HEADERGET_ALLOC - use temporary table for Depends in sqlite backend too - dont run %pre- and %posttrans scripts if --noscripts is specified - delay NSS initialization to limit problems with forking (rhbz#476737) - permit --noscripts on verify - javadeps format string fix - fix buffer overlow on long filelist entries (susebz#397006) - check for dbenv->failchk() exit code - check for chroot() result in psm too - check for termination signals during query loops - added ARMv7 support - added ISA macros for ARM - update documentation wrt gpg path macro (rhbz#476201) - clarify documentation wrt generating API/hacking documentation - dont bother with translations for internal/test-only tools - updated Swedish translation - updated Polish translation Changes from RC2 - RC3 - make sure headers can be included from C++ (ticket #12) - work around jrpm (?) produced packages not having RPMTAG_SOURCERPM - empty arrays on queryformats return nothing at all - fix segfault on packages without scriptlet program tag (rhbz#475214) - fix pkg-config provide generation on interdependent .pc's (rhbz#473814) - tighten up setting and checking of buildroot (ticket #10) - bunch of tag extension regression fixes from RC2 (rhbz#474550) - fix python return type for non-existent tags (rhbz#473239) - backwards compatibility include for rpmGenPath() (rhbz#473420) Changes from RC1 - RC2 - read default popt aliases again (rhbz#473167) - fix old, pathological memory fragmentation on fingerprinting (rhbz#472507) - fixes to permit relative paths on buildtree creation - restore SIGPIPE to default action for scriptlets (rhbz#471591) - calculate total file size correctly in build (mdvbz#45820, rhbz#247374) - tag extension enhancements generalizing numeric data handling (rhbz#471820) - use better hash to improve initial install speed - filter out mtime difference of shared files on verify (rhbz#426672) - fix segfault on relocation (rhbz#468319) - fix old memleak in rpmtsAddInstallElement() - make noarch subpackages actually work - skip adding identical NEVR to transaction on install too (rhbz#467822) - permit tab as whitespace between macro arguments (rhbz#467567) - adjust for file/libmagic output change (rhbz#468129) - SH-platform fixes (ISA-macros, IEEE-compliance) - PATH_MAX portability fixes (ticket #3) - avoid leaking C99 options into stock %{__cc} macro - remove extranuous trailing slash from pkgconfig includedir - make peace with new libtool - updated Brazilian Portugese translation - updated Serbian translation Still reading? Quite a pile there, I agree. In retrospective, RC3 should've probably gone out as 4.6.0 but it's a bit too late to speculate on that. Oh and FWIW, a big part of the fixes that went to especially RC4 were found by Pixel through testing on Mandriva rpm-software stack, exercising different code paths than what typically gets tested by me so it would've been hard to notice them otherwise, thanks for spotting and reporting! RC4 will go out as 4.6.0 final as-is in about a week, unless severe regressions from RC3 are found. - Panu - _______________________________________________ Rpm-announce mailing list Rpm-announce(a)lists.rpm.org http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-announce -- rakesh
