New PackageDB deployed. Now with less features and more focus

By Toshio Kuratomi at 04/25/2013 - 14:08

Quite a few months ago we announced that we were going to start the process
of moving features that were not central to the Package Database's mission
of managing package maintainer's acls from packagedb into other
applications. We've now deployed the first release that starts implementing
this.

PackageDB 0.6.0 removes several sections of the PackageDB's UI:

* tags and ratings are gone. Use <a href="https://apps.fedoraproject.org/tagger" title="https://apps.fedoraproject.org/tagger">https://apps.fedoraproject.org/tagger</a>
instead.
* Applications is gone. Use <a href="https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages" title="https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages">https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages</a> instead
* builds is gone.

NetworkManager: do not tend missing hardware

By John Reiser at 04/25/2013 - 10:38

When booting a Live spin, how can I tell NetworkManager to avoid any hardware
that is not present? There is [and will be] no ISDN, no ADSL, no dialup modem,
no Bluetooth, no wired ethernet; and I want to reduce RAM usage as much as possible.
This is to support netbooks and other machines with only 1GB RAM.
Already I found setroubleshootd sitting on 55MB of physical RAM (rhbz #953676),
but I want more.

RHEL bug, how to proceed?

By Simone Caronni at 04/24/2013 - 10:35

Hello,

I have a package that needs procps. While building it in EPEL, i stepped
onto a packaging problem [1] in the RHEL 6 package.

I've opened the bug, but nobody is looking at it and (my guess) it will be
probably fixed for RHEL 6.5. Note that the bug has been tagged as "EasyFix"-

The workaround for the problem would be as follows:

%if 0%{?rhel} == 6
BuildRequires: procps
%else
BuildRequires: procps-devel
%endif

I suppose there's no "provenpackager" group in RHEL, so what should I do in
this case?

Review exchange

By Alec Leamas at 04/24/2013 - 07:09

Hi,

I have three pending review requests for font packages: 956120, 956127,
and 956134. I'm willing to exchange reviews for those.

These are my first font packages, so I'd prefer to review something
else in return.

rpmbuild: double free or corruption (fasttop)

By Simone Caronni at 04/24/2013 - 05:40

Hello,

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong regarding a package which
includes file capabilities support or if I've hit a bug.

I've added libcap-devel as BuildRequires (probably it's already part of a
base system) and replaced the %attr tags in the file section (to remove
setuid) with a %caps directive.

The rpm builds and links fine as long as I don't use the %caps directive in
the file section.

# F19 Beta Blocker Review meeting #1
# Date: 2013-04-24
# Time: 16:00 UTC (12:00 EDT, 09:00 PDT)
# Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net

The first blocker review meeting for F19 Beta will be held tomorrow.
Should be a short one, just a few proposed blockers so far.

We'll be running through the Beta blockers and freeze exception bugs.
The current list is available at:
<a href="http://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/19/beta/buglist" title="http://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/19/beta/buglist">http://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/19/beta/buglist</a>

We'll be reviewing the bugs to determine ...

1. Whether they meet the Beta release criteria [1] and should stay
on the list
2.

Announcing the release of Fedora 19 Alpha!

By Dennis Gilmore at 04/23/2013 - 09:49

The Fedora 19 "Schrödinger's Cat" alpha release has arrived with a
preview of the latest fantastic, free, and open source technology
currently under development. Take a peek inside:

<a href="http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease" title="http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease">http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease</a>

*** What is the Alpha Release? ***

The Alpha release contains all the exciting features of Fedora 19 in a
form that anyone can help test. This testing, guided by the Fedora QA
team, helps us target and identify bugs. When these bugs are fixed, we
make a Beta release available.

Q: bundled fonts.

By Alec Leamas at 04/23/2013 - 09:37

In a large package (openerp7) I have found some bundled .ttf and .otf
font files. One of these (Inconsolata) seems to exist in Fedora as
levien-inconsolata-fonts, the others (see below) I cannot find with a
quick search.

The fonts are parts of specific addons (a. k. a. plugins).

ABRT, Faf and current state of bug reporting

By Richard Marko at 04/23/2013 - 09:27

Hi all,

I'll try to explain how crash reporting currently works in Fedora.

Typical reporting process looks like this:
- crash is reported to Faf server which responds with 'known' or
'unknown' reply;
- in case it responds with 'known' and the bug was already reported to
both the server and bugzilla, the reporting is stopped and only report
counts on the server are updated;
- if the crash is unknown, the reporting either continues or stops
depending on the configuration (for Gnome, only automated reporting to
faf is enabled);
- if enabled, the rest of the process continues with local or r

This is one of those events where we really need as much data as

hardware as we can manage. So please, if you have a few spare minutes,
come out and test! It's very easy.

question about journald and rsyslogd in f19, are both enabled by default?

Hi,

I noticed this after many freezes (due to bug 954181) in the messages:

or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing.

But why is it running if i did not enable it nor have i changed the default

clock-applet memory leak

By Przemek Klosowski at 04/22/2013 - 12:55

I reported the large memory leak in clock-applet:

<a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952763" title="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952763">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952763</a>

(TLDR: clock-applet grows by 1GB/day when reporting weather)

Since clock-applet is a default install on every Fedora, I thought this
would be widely reported---it essentially makes the system unusable
within a day or two if you run into this problem---but that doesn't
seem to be the case.

Strange ssh / openldap linking problem

By Richard W.M. Jones at 04/22/2013 - 04:36

I'm not sure whether or not this is a bug, but it sure looks strange.

$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/ssh
openssh-clients-6.1p1-6.fc18.x86_64

$ ldd /usr/bin/ssh|grep ldap
libldap-2.4.so.2 => /lib64/libldap-2.4.so.2 (0x00007fad274fc000)

/usr/lib64/libldap-2.4.so.2 is a symbolic link to a symbolic link
which passes through a -devel package.

/usr/lib64/libldap-2.4.so.2 -> libldap.so # openldap-2.4.34-1.fc18
/usr/lib64/libldap.so -> libldap-2.4.so.2.9.0 # openldap-devel-2.4.34-1.fc18
/usr/lib64/libldap-2.4.so.2.9.0 is a real file # openldap-2.4.34-1.fc18

Re: Embedded SIG

By John J. McDonough at 04/21/2013 - 10:23

I have an interest in an Embedded SIG, although less for the ARM as for
the Microchip devices (PIC, dsPIC) which are reasonably well supported.
Not that I don't play with ARM, too, but it is somewhat less of a
passion.

Hi

Don't know if this is a bit off topic, but I am in real need of you. Thing
is, I am a frequent user of open source software, and I am often amazed by
the efforts people make in order to provide me with products and services
for free. I am now conducting research for a masters' thesis trying to find
out what motivates developers to participate in open source projects. I
would be pleased if you could fill out a survey and pass it on within the
community mail list. The survey only takes 3-5 minutes to fill out, and all
information is kept confidential. Again, thank you for your efforts.

looking for co-maintainer / new owner

By Nathanael D. Noblet at 04/19/2013 - 12:12

Hello,

The package barry is used to sync a blackberry device with a desktop.
I took it over awhile ago when I owned a blackberry. I've since moved on
to own various other devices and don't see myself returning to a
blackberry anytime soon. As such I'm wondering if anyone wants to take
ownership.

There is a semi-active upstream. They have new releases and a few
community members contributing. A very responsive main developer - any
issues we've had he's helped resolve and accepts patches readily. Its a
low maintenance package by most accounts.

Retina 13" Macbook pro and fedora19

I selected automatic partitions and it created / /home /boot and /boot/efi
I deleted /home and left
/ /boot /boot/efi partitions

In Fedora 18 the installation is OK.

I created the USB-bootable drive using

Package-split upgrade path

By Sandro Mani at 04/18/2013 - 18:30

Hello,

In python-pillow (the python imaging fork which replaced PIL in F19+),
there is a module (ImageQt) which requires PyQt4, but that dependency is
missing in python-pillow (and in python-imaging before). I don't really
like adding PyQt4 as a dependency to the main package, since it pulls in
lots of stuff. So, I'd go for creating a python-pillow-qt subpackage
(albeit with just one file), and now am wondering about the upgrade
path.

Appropriate location for cmake support files

By Mario Ceresa at 04/18/2013 - 09:40

Hi all,
does anybody know where should I put cmake support files such as:

OpenIGTLinkBuildSettings.cmake
OpenIGTLinkConfig.cmake
UseOpenIGTLink.cmake

in order for cmake to find them automatically? Can I put them in
/usr/share/cmake/Modules/ ?

I read a lot of tutorials on how cmake's find_package works, but I'm
still a bit confused... Maybe there is a packaging guideline somewhere
and I missed it?

Thanks and regards,

Mario

As for Fedora - I can remove %_datadir}/apps/kdm/ (in my package) -
%_datadir/xsessions/* still works.
What about EL6?

Fedora 19 Alpha status, karma requests

By Adam Williamson at 04/17/2013 - 19:46

Hi folks!

So, good news: following the blocker review meeting this morning, we're
looking quite close to signing off on Alpha. We just need to fill out
the RC4 test matrices before tomorrow's go/no-go meeting, and hope we
don't find any more blocker bugs.

util-linux: no more /usr/bin/floppy

By Karel Zak at 04/17/2013 - 15:12

The util-linux package for Fedora >= 19 does not contain floppy(8)
command anymore, reasons:

* util-linux contains fdformat(8)

* floppy(8) is not part of the util-linux upstream

* floppy(8) upstream seems inactive:
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/floppyutil/files/" title="http://sourceforge.net/projects/floppyutil/files/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/floppyutil/files/</a>

* if you really need floppy(8) then you can follow:

Open Seat on the Fedora Packaging Committee

By Tom "spot" Callaway at 04/17/2013 - 12:51

The Fedora Packaging Committee has one open seat and is accepting
submissions from interested candidates to serve on the FPC.

The FPC would like to thank Rex Dieter for his service, as he is
stepping down after several years.

This position involves not only reviewing Packaging Guideline drafts
submitted to the FPC for consideration, but also rewriting drafts
(sometimes from scratch) to resolve the issue in a more acceptable
fashion. Additionally, the FPC reviews bundling exceptions (and UID/GID
soft static assignment).
