AFAIK, turning the firewall on doesn't currently turn on any additional daemon -- it just sets up the defined rules. > I guess ip6tables too? > Yep. Would you be willing to write up a Packaging Draft and add it to the FPC tracker? If not, I'll bring it up in the Packaging Meeting on Wednesday morning. -Toshio

What do you think should be off? Right now I think we'd make an exception for ssh (a really big exception since it's a network facing service, even). Dbus and default syslog variant also spring to mind which might be. Those might be able to start defining a category of "things needed to run a desktop session" or something. iptables, auditd, restorecond sound like keepers -- maybe a category here would be things that add to system security in a default install. For this category we'd want to be careful, do we also want to allow fail2ban or denyhosts to run by default if they're installed? Other categories or specific examples would be good. -Toshio

Package dependence and build system choice
by frank 03 Dec '10

03 Dec '10

Hi developers: I am working on packaging our project into Fedora. Here some questions I want to consult for you. Our project is Java based, it depends on many thirdpartt JARs that some are already in Fedora and some are not. 1. For those absent JARs, how should I handle them? Could directly include them in my package? I saw some packages do directly include JARs even these JARs are available in other packages. e.g. eclipse-pde 2. We use ANT to build and deploy our software, however, we also use waf to do configuration because ANT is not strong on this part. Will this be a problem? I really see some Java project mixed uses GNU tool and ANT, so I guess it's also ok for mixing ANT with waf. thank you.
