OLPC keyboard maps for xkeyboard-config
by Martin Langhoff 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Hi Peter, at OLPC we add keyboard layouts quite often, so we end up shipping a patched xkeyboard-config . I was wondering if you'd considered reviewing the patches we add for inclusion in your Fedora pkg. For F14, there is a fedpkg-style repo showing our changes (patches and spec): http://dev.laptop.org/git/packages/xkeyboard-config/log/?h=f14/master The same patches in a git repo of the upstream project: http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/martin/xkeyboard-config/log/?h=v1.9-rebase For master, I've also prepared the patches on top of upstreams' 2.1, those are here: http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/martin/xkeyboard-config/log/ My hope is to get these all reviewed and hopefully merged upstream. In the meantime, we got to roll usable builds for these kids... thanks! m -- martin.langhoff(a)gmail.com martin(a)laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff

Did a bit of searching in BZ but couldn't spot the RFE (to add myself to cc). Anyway, BZ#593211 has the patches you need to initscripts src and to the spec file :-) m -- martin.langhoff(a)gmail.com martin(a)laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff

You're right, it does. What is the update policy on initscripts for currently supported Fedoras and RHEL6? (My guess is: conservative enough that this kind of patch is not welcome). Background: I'm prepping rpms for the XS School Server, which I am working on making installable on RHEL6 and siblings. m -- martin.langhoff(a)gmail.com martin(a)laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff

Minor patch to initscripts: sysctl.d

Not sure how it interacts with the systemd mayhem - but we use sysctl.d so we can bump shmmax for postgresql on XS. Patches to src and spec at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593211 cheers, m -- martin.langhoff(a)gmail.com martin(a)laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff

Planning to package our 'audited' libtommath and libtomcrypt
by Martin Langhoff 16 Feb '11

16 Feb '11

I am approaching bios-crypto again -- with the intention to split off - libtommath -- it's trivial to reuse the spec from the official pkg, and the delta is small - libtomcrypt -- same - bios-crypto -- the binaries and some low-level scripts - bios-crypto-utils -- will move to a separate repo & rpm the shell & python utils we use in the XS Here is some background on the "audited" libs http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2009-December/043679.html There will probably be limited interest from Fedora proper, but at least there'll be a pacakge in case anyone is crazy enough to push more on this track :-) cheers, m -- martin.langhoff(a)gmail.com martin(a)laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff
