Hello all, I am trying to upgrade my desktop to Fedora-15 using YUM(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum). # yum --releasever=15 --skip-broken distro-sync The above command yielded the following errors: Skip-broken could not solve problems Error: Package: 1:gnome-applets-2.32.0-3.fc15.x86_64 (fedora) Requires: libpanel-applet-3.so.0()(64bit) Removing: gnome-panel-libs-2.32.0.2-2.fc14.x86_64 (@anaconda-InstallationRepo-201010211827.x86_64/14) libpanel-applet-3.so.0()(64bit) Updated By: gnome-panel-libs-3.0.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64 (fedora) Not found Error: Package: gnome-python2-applet-2.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64 (fedora) Requires: libpanel-applet-2.so.0()(64bit) Removing: gnome-panel-libs-2.32.0.2-2.fc14.x86_64 (@anaconda-InstallationRepo-201010211827.x86_64/14) libpanel-applet-2.so.0()(64bit) Updated By: gnome-panel-libs-3.0.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64 (fedora) Not found Error: Package: 1:gnome-applets-2.32.0-3.fc15.x86_64 (fedora) Requires: libgweather.so.1()(64bit) Removing: libgweather-2.30.3-1.fc14.x86_64 (@anaconda-InstallationRepo-201010211827.x86_64/14) libgweather.so.1()(64bit) Updated By: libgweather-3.0.0-1.fc15.x86_64 (fedora) Not found Error: Package: libpanelappletmm-2.26.0-2.fc12.x86_64 (@anaconda-InstallationRepo-201010211827.x86_64/14) Requires: libpanel-applet-2.so.0()(64bit) Removing: gnome-panel-libs-2.32.0.2-2.fc14.x86_64 (@anaconda-InstallationRepo-201010211827.x86_64/14) libpanel-applet-2.so.0()(64bit) Updated By: gnome-panel-libs-3.0.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64 (fedora) Not found Error: Package: gnome-themes-2.32.0-5.fc15.noarch (fedora) Requires: gtk-theme-engine-clearlooks Error: Package: gnome-python2-evolution-2.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64 (fedora) Requires: libcamel-1.2.so.19()(64bit) Removing: evolution-data-server-2.32.2-1.fc14.x86_64 (@updates/14) libcamel-1.2.so.19()(64bit) Updated By: evolution-data-server-3.0.0-1.fc15.x86_64 (fedora) Not found Error: Package: 1:gnome-applets-2.32.0-3.fc15.x86_64 (fedora) Requires: libpanel-applet-2.so.0()(64bit) Removing: gnome-panel-libs-2.32.0.2-2.fc14.x86_64 (@anaconda-InstallationRepo-201010211827.x86_64/14) libpanel-applet-2.so.0()(64bit) Updated By: gnome-panel-libs-3.0.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64 (fedora) Not found You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest I have also tried the last suggestion in the error message.

Packaging wishlist - Sofatron media explorer
by Rahul Sundaram 23 Apr '11

23 Apr '11

Hi Quite nice but packaging is likely to be involved. Grilo & friends were being packaged by Bastien Nocera. http://chrislord.net/blog/Software/presenting-a-mex.enlighten "So, what is Sofatron? In short, it's a local and network video and picture browser. It also has some search ability. The whole thing is backed by Clutter, Mx, Grilo and Tracker, the latter three of which it requires bleeding-edge versions of (you'll also need Tumbler if you want thumbnails)" Rahul

light word processor
by A. Mani 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

I checked the latest version. It can be useful for people using English as a second language and many others. Should be easy to package. http://writetype.bernsteinforpresident.com/writetype-1-2-130-is-out/ ___________________________________________ WriteType 1.2.130 is now available! WriteType is a word-processor designed for schools to help young students write better. It gives students who have a hard time writing an easier approach in putting their ideas on paper. The new release makes it even easier for students to succeed! Some new features include: * Phrase Completion — While WriteType has always had the ability to quickly complete words, it now has the ability to complete commonly used phrases as well. As you type, WriteType will detect which phrases you use most frequently, and suggest them along with the words. Clicking on the suggestions will insert them into the document. * Reading back words as they are typed — In order to help students internalize what they are typing, WriteType will optionally read back words immediately after they are typed. * Reading back words in the list of suggestions — Each word in the list of suggestions has a speaker icon on it that, when clicked, will read the word out loud. * Aesthetic improvements — WriteType has a brand new look! * Global Setting Overrides — Setting up WriteType for a large school or organization on a network is now much easier. Administrators can optionally specify settings for the whole network, instead of just on a computer-by-computer basis. WriteType can be downloaded for GNU/Linux and Windows. Bug reports, feature requests, and patches are always welcome. If you are looking to get more involved, WriteType is in dire need of a Windows maintainer, and could always use new developers and translators. As always, though, the best thing you can to to help WriteType is to get it into the hands of students, teachers, and schools that could benefit! __________________________________________________ Best A.

Packaging wishlist - askbot & friends
by Rahul Sundaram 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

Hi I would like to run a instance of askbot (http://askbot.org) in fedoraproject.org. The first step is to package it and the dependencies. Some of them are already in Fedora. The rest of the list is: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Askbot Some of the components in this list might have their own additional dependencies. This is all Python and Django. If you are picking up anything in this list, do drop a note here or edit the wiki with the status/ link to review request etc. Thanks Rahul

Fwd: Request for packaging: grilo and grilo-plugins

13 Apr '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Request for packaging: grilo and grilo-plugins Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2011 17:37:25 +0100 From: Bastien Nocera Reply-To: Discussions about development for the Fedora desktop <desktop(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> Organization: Red Hat To: desktop(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Heya, In GNOME 3.2, we hope to have Totem use Grilo to implement the various "source" sidebars, and there's also interest from Rhythmbox, and other applications to start using it as a way to avoid duplicating various amounts of code adding new sources to each of those applications. Anybody interested in packaging grilo and grilo-plugins? The upstream code is at: https://live.gnome.org/Grilo Cheers -- desktop mailing list desktop(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
