[Idea] How about generating servicepacks of gstreamer* et.al.?
by susmit shannigrahi 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

I was thinking about this a couple of days before. Somewhere, I heard someone saying, you need to compile code to get the musics playing. Now, I corrected them and pointed out that what they need to do in order to get it playing. Then this idea came to my mind, what if we generate the service packs of say gstreamer-plugins*, vlc and the other necessary but restricted software and host it outside fedora's infrastructure? We can give these people a single link and say for playing all the audio/video stuff, go to this link, download this servicepack, come home and install it. A few will say, we have to create service packs for each updates pushed. But really we can do with the servicepack made with base release only. This is because, he who does not have enough bw at home, in all probability, will not update his system. So chances are high that he will still run the base installation. Should we talk with rpmfusion people? -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit =============================================

Two Problems
by das 22 Feb '10

22 Feb '10

1. I had some problems in F 11 with my motherboard and display driver: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=496545 This I started reporting on 19th April 2009, without any solution till now. I expected the problem to go away with F 12, but it did not. In fact, as I reported in the bug today, that, in F 12 it became bigger. So I went back to F 11 (with nomodeset in the kernel line). 2. Today, I was doing scp between my laptop (F 12) and desktop (F 11), some ogg files I was copying from the desktop to the laptop. And a most queer thing happened. I was so surprised that I took a screenshot, and I am attaching that PNG with it. All the files on the laptop was showing exactly the double size of that on the desktop. As you can compare in the screenshot. The terminal on the left is dd@mamdo, which is my desktop, and this is on SSH. And the terminal on the right is dd@dia, that is, my laptop where I took the screenshot. 'ls -sh' showing exactly double size, 'ls -s' showing exactly the double number of blocks, though the 'md5sum' for both of them is generating the same number. Both of them are on EXT4. This is something that is explosively beyond my comprehension. As you can see in the screenshot, some package update was going on, I rebooted after it. Expected it to go away: some kind of misreporting. But, it is showing exactly the same thing till now. -- দাশ das http://ddts.randomink.org/

[Request] Adding the DebugInfo packages to the Mirrors
by Sawrub 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

FTP listing of the Fedora mirrors hosted in India, is missing the debuginfo packages. I'm able to locate the same under most of the International mirrors with few of them to list picked from the mirror list hosted at http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/12/ are - ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/fedora/linux/releases/12/Everything/x86_64/ debug/ - ftp://ftp.crihan.fr/mirrors/fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/releases/12/Ever… debug/ - ftp://fedora.c3sl.ufpr.br/fedora-enchilada/linux/releases/12/Everything/x86_64/ debug/ But none of the local mirrors mentioned out there seems to have that be it - ftp://ftp.iitm.ac.in/fedora/releases/12/Everything/x86_64/ - ftp://mirror.cse.iitk.ac.in/fedora/releases/12/Everything/x86_64/ - ftp://fedora.glug-nith.org/linux/releases/12/Everything/x86_64/ with an exception of one but with stale packages, dating back to Nov'09. http://fedoramirror.hnsdc.com/releases/12/Everything/x86_64/ I request the admins to please take the neccessary steps for getting this done as the ABRT needs them for generating the backtrace. ABRT uses ' yumdownloader' as said in '/usr/bin/abrt-debuginfo-install' which in turn looks for local mirrors but in vain has to look abroad for the same which in itself is a time consuming task, and the purpose of mirrors is not fulfilled to fullest. -- Saurabh Sharma Linux user number: 490644 http://sawrub-blog.blogspot.com/ Open your doors.......It's time to look beyond Windows

GNUnify Schedule and Fedora Plans - 19&20th
by Rahul Sundaram 18 Feb '10

18 Feb '10

Hi GNUnify has its schedule list at http://gnunify.in/19-feb-2010 http://gnunify.in/20-feb-2010 People attending please try and be there around eight so that we can discuss plans in person I have a session at 10 in the morning and Fedora related ones are spread out within the two days instead of a single Fedora activity day like in the past due to unavailable of a dedicated room but since we have more contributors flying in we can a few potential things planned including a package a review session and hopefully fix some of the FTFBS ( ) bugs due to the ld change in Rawhide now http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2010-February/130782.html I have proven packager access and could commit and build any patches you might have for these bugs and since we are nearing the Fedora 13 Alpha release and past the freeze this would be a good and fairly simple task Rahul
