[Cooker] Re: [CHRPM] libjpeg-6b-23mdk 9.0 lib policy
I'd like to make some remarks on the 9.0 lib policy thing as stated in the changelog --=-=-= * Thu May 16 2002 Yves Duret [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6b-23mdk - 9.0 lib policy: added libjpeg62-static-devel This is all very nice, moving 3 or so files into (yet) another package: /usr/lib/libgif.a /usr/lib/libungif.a /usr/lib/libungif.la /usr/share/doc/libungif4-static-devel-4.1.0 The consequence is that this breaks the BuildRequires of a number of packages. I'm wondering if it's worth it to make so many sub-packages...

Perhaps I don't see the benefits of this policy, maybe somebody can enlighten me? Well, the intention is to allow more than one version of library to be installed while allowing you to explicitly select build (development) version to use. Having both versioned and unversioned libraries in one package would mean you can't have more than one version installed. -andrej

Re: [Cooker] init scripts policy?
Borsenkow Andrej [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Most init scripts I have seen are defined as noreplace. It has unfortunate effect - if init script is changed, it is not replaced. It means that in postinstall section rpm actually runs restart with _old_ script. Which is obviously wrong (exactly in case when script has changed). Is there any policy related to init scripts? I see absolutely no reasons to define them as noreplace except for very special cases (like rc.local probably). Our policy (from mdk rpm howto) says: To tell RPM that the file specified is a configuration file, place a %config at the front of the file. That way, RPM will upgrade the file, but save a copy of the old one on the local hard drive. Most of the time, it is NOT the desired behaviour, because you shall lose (temporarily) your precious configuration in exchange of the default one which is obviously far poorer than what you need. To address this issue, use %config(noreplace). So, in general, when hesitating, we've been choosing %config(noreplace). The rule of thumb being that %config should be used when it's clearly needed. The idea is that if the user ever changed an initscript, he sure knows what he's doing, so we don't update it by default. If it was not changed by the user (99.9% of the cases), RPM will update the file anyway (be it %config or %config(noreplace) or whatever). Is it possible to tell RPM to save old copy in *.rpmold on update? Well a %config file gets .rpmsave for the old config file - and a %config(noreplace) gets .rpmnew for the new config file. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/

A better question is why is LSB trying to put requirements on an applications configration files. /etc/ftpusers just won't work for proftpd becuase of the VirtualHost options. Requiring that an ftp server use ftpusers is would be as dumb as saying all httpd servers have to use apache's format. You're right because every FTP might have its own config quirks (like the missing /etc/ftpusers in proftpd). Well, I don't really know! Stew might know a bit more though. But that doesn't mean that I should just fix proftpd to make it compliant by putting an empty file. So you'd really need to ask the LSB body to get this addressed. To top all that off /etc/ftpusers is a poorly named file. /etc/ftpusers.deny would have been more intuitive. But LSB is just adopting the design of a poorly designed ftp server (wu-ftpd) as the standard and that's really sad. At any rate this isn't really an argument for this list.

Re: [Cooker] kpersonalizer hangs
So sprach Alexander Skwar am 2002-05-24 um 11:06:50 +0200 : Yesterday I setup a system using current Cooker. In this, I also installed KDE and now updated to kde 3.0.1 from Cooker. I've now upgraded to the latest and greatest. kpersonalizer still hangs. Most of the time, it doesn't start up correctly. I only see the frame of the window with nothing on it. But sometimes it comes up right; however after having finished the last step, it displays the window again and the behaviour is like above. Any ideas about what's going on here?

Yeah, that's kind of stupid. It seems to go away if you force it to run
automake, but then that leads to another lib building error.
Everything builds, I just can't get it to install or make RPMs. :(
In your pan.spec file, make it look like this quick hack:
%install
[ -n $RPM_BUILD_ROOT -a $RPM_BUILD_ROOT != / ] rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
%makeinstall_std
mv $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_bindir}/*-pan $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_bindir}/pan
All I did was add the mv command. I wouldn't exactly call this
production material though :-/ Do it as a quick hack to get the
binary built and I guess someone will figure out why the Makefile.in
insists on prepending that to it. I checked and 0.11.92 has the exact
same Makefile.in, so it doesn't quite make sense what's happening there.
I haven't dug into it enough to know better.
Ugly or not, it worked. It was ugly enough that I spent more time on it,
though. g
I did a diff between 0.11.92 and 0.11.93, and there were some pretty
huge changes in the config process and files. Upshot is that if you
don't specify a blank --program-prefix, it automatically prepends the
binary with the guessed system type.
A somewhat cleaner fix was to append the blank argument in the pan.spec:
%configure2_5x --program-prefix=
This now -ba's cleanly to unpatched source.

Add syslog-ng support to msec. The reason for a split is, logrotate for syslogd and syslog-ng refer to the same files which means logs are rotated twice. What I had in mind is to make syslog-ng conflict with syslogd. Alternative is (assuming syslog-ng is adopted) to just check which one is currently running and prime it. Fredl, do you have any plans to add support for external modules? It would be ideal case - syslog-ng comes with own msec module to avoid rewriting it every time. No I don't want to do that.

Hi, I build the rpm source package mozilla-1.0-0.rc2.4mdk.src.rpm and still java is broken. I will try a tarball and see if that works next. Huh, where did you find rc2.4mdk? Latest is rc2.2mdk and rc2.3mdk will probably go in with a fix for building mozilla with gcc3.1 on PPC. The Java plugin will work if the JDK were to be rebuilt with gcc3.1. The problem is that Sun seems to not care about Mozilla, thus does not bother to rebuild the JDK with gcc3.1, though it works! How does it affect MDK 9.0? Well, this has yet to be resolved. Don't say to rebuild Mozilla gcc2.96, that's not an option. * The Mozilla issue is reported here: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116444 * Rejected requested for enhancement: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4687814.html Bye, Gwenole.

Re: [Cooker] minicom and ppp broken for pcmcia modems
andrej wrote == My problem is that neither minicom, nor the ifup/usernetctl command line tools can communicate with the modem. As root, minicom starts, but the modem does not reply OK to the initialisation string, or to AT. == First, do not post in HTML. Second, what strace shows? strace -f -o /tmp/foo minicom Thanks for the tips. I tested 2 minicoms, minicom.mdk, (renamed from the Mandrake RPM minicom), and minicom.sjm that I built from the source out of the SRPM. They both used the same minirc.dfl configuration file: pr port/dev/ttyS1 [[[WRONG]]] pu baudrate230400 (It looks like I configured this wrongly, the pr port value should be /dev/ttyS2.) The strace logs are both big. The only obvious difference to my eyes is that the minicom.sjm opened /dev/modem, ignoring the config file. On my computer /dev/modem is linked to /dev/tts/2, which is correct, which is why my compiled version worked. Odd behaviour, but I can't claim the minicom rpm package is broken any more, as both versions of minicom now work with a corrected minirc.dfl.

I wanted to pass on my configuration experiences regarding scannerdrake to the developer of the project to aid with the auto-detection. I have the Microtek ScanMaker X6USB now running with sane 1.0.7 and xsane 0.86 on ML 8.2. Below is my configuration saga... After running scannerdrake as root, and choosing Microtek ScanMaker X6USB, scannerdrake exits. I then attempted to run xsane as a normal user. xsane displays a license message when first run. I chose Accept, at which point xsane displays a scanning for devices message. After a few seconds, the message xsane: no devices available is displayed. The followings command shows that it is detected on the usb hub: # cat /proc/bus/usb/devices T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=12 MxCh= 2 B: Alloc= 0/900 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0 D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor= ProdID= Rev= 0.00 S: Product=USB UHCI Root Hub S: SerialNumber=d400 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=40 MxPwr= 0mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)

When I vary some options, such as adjust the resolution or color depth higher, I get the following error: Failed to start scanner: Error during device I/O.

[Cooker] Weird KDE3 Desktop Icon Behavior
On the latest KDE3, after I have placed my icons on the desktop where I want them to be and log out saving the session while doing so, when I log back in, my icons are lined up in 2 rows at the top of the desktop. I have tried also selecting to arrange the icons via the various arrangement options but once again on logout/in, it rearranges them automatically to the top of the desktop. Regards, Jason
Re: [Cooker] kino-0.5-2mdk.src.rpm build error
fyi: the latest cvs has removed the src/libdv.h file from its
repository.
so it looks as if this code is being worked on as i type.

[Cooker] xsane bails out with UMAX2200 USB
It would appear that xsane is trying to scan for a scanning device even after i specify one (xsane umax:/dev/usb/scanner0). I also tried to create a common ln -s /dev/usb/scanner0 /dev/usbscanner which apppears to help but xsane then complains: gdb reports: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x407454c0 in sane_sm3600_init () from /usr/lib/sane/libsane-sm3600.so.1 sane has no problem finding the umax device connected via usb port and scannerdrake appears to find configure it also. I can also use xscan to perform scans, but it's not as good as xsane. This has been a continous bug for the past ~6 mos or more. I'm now on gcc-31 Although I should probabely send this to the xsane mailling list, maybe the xsane packager is on this list. oh, btw, sane-1.0.8 is out! (yes, i packaged this as well last night, but my email was down.) -- Roger - Verify my pgp/gnupg signature on my HomePage: http://www.alltel.net/~rogerx/about/index.html signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: [Cooker] scannerdrake project: microtek X6usb
just an fyi, dunno if this model is support under sane (but my astra umax 2200 scsi/usb is). try either xscanimage or using scanimage manully: xscanimage umax:/dev/usb/scanner0 scanimage umax:/dev/usb/scanner0 or yours would be something like: xscanimage mustek:/dev/usb/scanner0 On Tue, 2002-05-28 at 21:34, John Yarger wrote: I wanted to pass on my configuration experiences regarding scannerdrake to the developer of the project to aid with the auto-detection.

When I vary some options, such as adjust the resolution or color depth higher, I get the following error: Failed to start scanner: Error during device I/O.

I think it would be nice to have:
[ %{buildroot} != / ] rm -rf %{buildroot}
as default in %prep, %install and %clean.
AFAIK it is currently done automatically as part of %setup and it is not
done if you use --short-circuit and it must not be done in this case :-)
But not the check to see if buildroot is set to /. It's not a big issue
though since everybody is building as a regular user and not root.

RE: [Cooker] Re: [CHRPM] libjpeg-6b-23mdk 9.0 lib policy
I understand the benefits of the lib policy very well, let me rephrase my question: What does lib policy version 9 provide over the previous one? What will splitting the -devel into -static-devel -devel packages bring? - save space on your fs by not installing things you will never use. - save space on distrib by having rpm taht could go on the third cd. it is always a big figth to fit every important rpm on the first 2 cds. - moth of these .a are never used and will never be, so we no more ship them. same reasons. - .. And what happens in practice? All these rpm's are just installed on the cluster: libmng1-static-devel-1.0.3-2mdk ash-static-0.3.8-1mdk I was wrong (I missed static part). I do not understand this - for any package using libtool you can NOT split it into dynamic and static part. It is simply impossible because you have single *.la interface to both. They belong all together. -andrej
One more PLF package? RE: [Cooker] Mozilla Java Plugin Still Broken
I build the rpm source package mozilla-1.0-0.rc2.4mdk.src.rpm and still java is broken. I will try a tarball and see if that works next. Huh, where did you find rc2.4mdk? Latest is rc2.2mdk and rc2.3mdk will probably go in with a fix for building mozilla with gcc3.1 on PPC. The Java plugin will work if the JDK were to be rebuilt with gcc3.1. The problem is that Sun seems to not care about Mozilla, thus does not bother to rebuild the JDK with gcc3.1, though it works! So you mean it _is_ possible to build Java with 3.1?
