[Cooker] hackgimp revisited
Geoffrey and Lenny,
I finally was able to test my "theory" and yes, it works. There is a
couple of things to note:
1. Previous versions of the Gimp must be uninstalled before building the
new version.
2. The perl-PDL package is missing a number of files required for
building the perl stuff. I had to add them back in the spec file to get
things to build.
I'm attaching both specs, though the Gimp one is quite heavily modified
for my own preferences, so you probably should adjust it accordingly.
Note that on the install phase, the PREFIX in uppercase is required for
the perl makefiles to install correctly (otherwise they will dump right
into the perl area and bypass the /var/tmp location).

%description
The GIMP is an image manipulation program suitable for photo retouching,
image composition and image authoring. Many people find it extremely useful
in creating logos and other graphics for web pages. The GIMP has many of the
tools and filters you would expect to find in similar commercial offerings,
and some interesting extras as well.
The GIMP provides a large image manipulation toolbox, including channel
operations and layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and anti-aliasing,
and conversions, all with multi-level undo.
This version of The GIMP includes a scripting facility, but many of the
included scripts rely on fonts that we cannot distribute. The GIMP ftp
site has a package of fonts that you can install by yourself, which
includes all the fonts needed to run the included scripts. Some of the
fonts have unusual licensing requirements; all the licenses are documented
in the package. Get ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/freefonts-0.10.tar.bz2
and ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/sharefonts-0.10.tar.bz2 if you are so
inclined. Alternatively, choose fonts which exist on your system before
running the scripts.

[Cooker] ZDnet Challenge
Hi, Just read about ZDnet having one of those "cracking challenges" with Linux vs. Microsoft web servers. The story says Mandrake is on the Linux box: "Targets for attack Behind our formidable firewall cluster are three targets. The first is the Web server, running MandrakeSoft's Linux Mandrake and the Apache Web server. We'll be using Axent's NetProwler intrusion detection system to monitor the activities on the Web server subnet. The second target is an e-mail subnet hosting the latest build of Exchange 2000 running on Windows 2000 Advanced Server. (This test will be a baptism by fire for the soon-to-be-released messaging platform.) Because Exchange 2000 uses Microsoft's Active Directory as its directory service, we will have a separate Advanced Server system hosting an Active Directory tree in the Exchange subnet." http://www.zdnet.com/eweek/stories/general/0,11011,2593631,00.html Cheers, -- Phil Lavigna [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/

I like proftpd myself, and there's other standalone ftp daemons. But you're right all 3 things would be inaccesable. I've offered alternatives for 2 out of the 3.

[Cooker] sparc 7.1-beta#2 install
I installed the second beta of the 7.1 sparc port on my ultra 1 creator yesterday and today. Things went ok during both installs, but for some reason it seemed to crater a little while after the first install was done. Someone was booting the machine and it just stopped after all of the services started and then sat there with a blank screen. I thought I'd try to install it again, as I noticed before it went down that the / partition was close to maximum. The machine doesn't have a floppy drive so I can't do a rescue disk. :p I did the second install this morning, and it went ok too. I had to try a couple of different mirrors for the crypto stuff, but in the end it all installed. A note here though - when it gave me a message that "there was an error installing one of the packages" for the crypto stuff it then put me way back at the point in the install where it asks if you have the extensions CD. Today I was using it a bit and then this evening I started to get some filesystem type errors. I checked the disk space again and the / partition was full! Just this morning it had about 80M available, so I did some looking. What I found was that two files had used most of the space: /var/log/httpd/error_log = 43M /var/log/httpd/ssl_engine_log = 42M I deleted the two files and rebooted and it's running fine again. I'm back up to 85M of free space on my / partition. Normally I run a separate /var partition but the machine only has a 2G drive so I wanted to save some space for a separate /usr/local partition. I have stopped httpd and zope services so I hope that takes care of the problem for now. I ran the 7.1 beta #1 beta for over a week with no problem so it just seems to have come up with this release (at least in my case). By the way, can anyone tell me why on some installs linuxconf starts in a terminal window and other installs it starts in a GUI? It's doing the terminal thing in this install and I'd like to have it in the GUI. How do I change it? Also, is there sound support in this port? There's a soundcard in this box but all I can get is the system beep - no other audio. Another problem that I'm having and it was in the other beta as well is that the display doesn't seem to redraw properly on logout. Sometimes you can see silouhettes of the icons that were on the desktop when you logged out. I have even restarted X from the logout screen and the broken up background comes back. It almost seems like it's not flushing the buffer or something. I believe I'm running the Sun24 X server. Well, that's about all I've got to report for now. Any feedback on the huge logfiles would be appreciated, or on any of the other issues for that matter. It looks really nice on the big Trinitron screen. Far better than Solaris 7, that software just sits in the box now. Keep up the good work guys! Tom Korte

As i used automatic package dependencies, i didn't remark that the installer also removed many other packages, as for example kdebase !
