[patch 2/7] Change how we do nosegneg

[patch 0/7] Enable pv_ops Xen; kill the kernel-xen RPM
by Mark McLoughlin 23 Jul '08

23 Jul '08

Hey, Now that support for 64 bit Xen Domu is upstream, we should enable Xen pv_ops and, at last and forever, kill off the kernel-xen RPM. There shouldn't be anything too suprising in the following patches ... well, apart from the fact that it's all upstream :-) I'm still doing a last bit of testing making sure that it all works fine, so don't apply yet ... but comments are very welcome. Cheers, Mark. --

F9 update lag.
by Dave Jones 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

We have something of a problem with F9. A week ago, we should have pushed out an update for 2.6.25.11 which fixes an exploitable security hole. It was fixed in CVS on Sunday, and a build made available shortly afterwards. It's been held up from being pushed to updates-final due to problems with the wireless patches that introduce regressions since the last update that went out. In situations like this I see us having several choices (in order of preference) 1. We branch from the older update in CVS and add just the security fix, and get that out. 2. We revert all the wireless changes back to the previous update. 3. We ship anyway, with the known wireless regressions. #3 is of course, guaranteed not to win us friends with the wireless users. We should get something out asap though, because it's only a matter of time before someone leaks an exploit. Dave -- http://www.codemonkey.org.uk

gspca as part of the rawhide kernel?
by Hans de Goede 18 Jul '08

18 Jul '08

Hi all, As some of you know I've been working on improving webcam support under Fedora, see: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BetterWebcamSupport http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/ One of the things I've been working on is in beating gspcav2 (a v4l2 port of gspca) into shape, although I must admit most of the work has been done by Jean-François Moine, the latest version is available from his mercurial tree and it has been pulled into the official v4l-dvb tree for wider testing. Once it has been in the v4l-dvb tree it will make its way into the mainline hopefuly for 2.6.27, if not then certainly fotr 2.6.28. To check it out see: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jfrancois/gspca/ Some time ago I've already done a review of the gspca_core and there are some locking issues to solve (I already know how, I just need to code them out). Once this is done I would like to see gspcav2 be added to the Fedora kernel, as to make the: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BetterWebcamSupport Feature a reality (also needs userspace work, I'm on this). So my questions are: 1) would it be acceptable to cary the gspca driver as a patch (only new files and makefile / kconfig changes doesn't touch anything else) until it is merged upstream. Note that this is much needed for wider webcam support and that gspca is on its way to the mainline now, and I'll personally will be working on ironing out any issues upstream may have with gspca as is. 2) Assuming the answer to 1 is yes, how do I move forward, can I get be added to the kernel package acl, what are the procedures for adding a patch and building a new kernel, etc? Thanks & Regards, Hans

Firmware
by David Woodhouse 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

Been playing with how I'd make the kernel package deal with the new 'make firmware_install' stuff. Currently looks something like this. I suspect that (for now) we should make the kernel binary packages depend on kernel-firmware? Should the package own the /lib/firmware/ directory? Ideally we'll want kernel-firmware to be a .noarch.rpm, but we can't get that until we start to build it from a separate srpm. Other comments?

kernel-vanilla-2.6.26-137.fc10
by Roland McGrath 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

BTW, see http://koji.fedoraproject.org/scratch/roland/task_714174/ for a kernel-vanilla build I did of 2.6.26. This gives a baseline for regression testing any problems to see if they are caused by some Fedora patches (e.g. utrace) or are also upstream. I think koji scratch only stays around for a couple of days. Maybe there is a better place to put these. Was there ever a plan to put kernel-vanilla rpms up for public consumption on a regular basis? Thanks, Roland
