What software is missing in the Fedora repository?
by Rahul Sundaram 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

Hi, I am doing a quick survey for software that you use on a regular basis that is not available via the Fedora repository. Software that you suggest should be free and open source, free of patent and other legal issues. Tell me the home page of the software and give me a brief description on what it does. Bonus points if you can see in Google for "software-name fedora package review" to figure it if it is already in the Fedora package review queue. If you know of RPM packages in other distributions for the software your are suggesting, that information is useful as well. Rahul

Testing required for menumaker RPM
by Gireesh Sreekantan 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All, In follow up to this thread[1], I have managed to create a RPM for menumaker[2]. The rpm and the spec file can be found here[3]. If anyone is interested, couple of harmless commands to try out: $mmaker fluxbox -c|less $info mmaker (the source doesn't a provide a man page) This being my *first ever* rpm package, I don't expect it to be 100% correct. I would gladly welcome feedback. [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/fedora-india@redhat.com/msg01432.html [2] http://menumaker.sourceforge.net [3] http://gsreekantan.fedorapeople.org/ Note: works fine on F10. On F11, some of the commands throw harmless(IMHO) python deprecation warnings. I suspect these are due to the move to python 2.6. - -- Gireesh Sreekantan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkoi3DoACgkQji0bnveIaEajAwCfcOEoRZp2z3W7gWyJ2SIXPRt1 ML0Amwbt7FzgGKnqtxpfm8Uyhl30v0Yo =+nxR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Wordpress Linux Theme Required
by Gaurav Prabhu 30 May '09

30 May '09

Hello, I will be starting a blog dedicated to Linux in a couple of days. I am searching for a good Wordpress Theme which would suit my site's theme i.e. Open Source/GNU Linux. My site will mostly concentrate on Fedora & ubuntu, so a blue theme like Fedora solar will look good. I searched around but was unable to get a good theme. All I got was Windows Vista. Is there any Wordpress Theme designed to use for A Linux blog? Please help me find one. Bollywood news, movie reviews, film trailers and more! Go to http://in.movies.yahoo.com/

Spread Fedora a little more??
by Ankur Sinha 25 May '09

25 May '09

hi, I just read Rahul's post on the marketing list regarding OLPC going all Fedora[1]. I was just wondering if we Ambassadors from India could have an IRC session to discuss the spreading of Fedora in schools etc. locally around us ? We've discussed free media and local contact programmes and how to implement them efficiently, which covers providing media to people who are *already aware* of Fedora, usually people from college onwards. We've never really chalked up a plan to implement anything at a level younger/ less aware than that, and now that we have people working on how to make it usable by kids, why not use it? Everyone talks about taking Linux to kids ( what is referred to as grass root level ). Why shouldn't take initiative? A meeting to discuss possibilities would be a sort of a start??

Hello Friends Both the latest 140 and 155 kernels are not working. But the older 126 kernel is. Now, I am a bit anxious about the next kernel update, because it keeps only 3 of them. Is there any way to keep the 126 kernel? -- দাশ das http://ddts.randomink.org/
