rpm-4 to be sure. You are trying to run the above on top of rpm-3. I got the
same problem when partially updating 7.2 to cooker packages; finally I had to
pull in much more than expected.

But surprisingly enough rpm-3 -> rpm-4 transition went without a single
glitch. Nice done, folks!

What about releasing an rpm-4 update for mere mortals?

[Cooker] Compatibility libstdc++ - would anybody from Mandrake finally speak up?

2001-02-20 Thread Andrej Borsenkow

It was discussed recently but I do not remember somebody from Mandrake to
comment on it.

The problem is, when updating libstdc++ to cooker (gcc-2.96) old one
(gcc-2.95) is lost. That has a number of problems:

- people may have local SW that depends on old library and cannot be updated
(for whatever reason)

- it unneccessarily complicates partial update to cooker packages. Many people
are interested in it (just browse usenet), but the lack of compatibility
library makes updateing too hard for normal users.

Just linking with to libstdc++ does not always help - at least update-menus
does not work in this case.

Actually, the first is enough to maintain compatibility library. Cooker does
contain compatible libstdc++ for much older distro - why is 7.2 forgotten?

That would be a great thing to have, yes. And I'd suggest the
"developer" install choice would use these per default.

libpthread.so is the main problem since, if stripped, it inhibits all

Exactly. For this reason check in /proc/filesystems if supermount is already

[Cooker] cooker updates today.

2001-02-20 Thread Robin Cook

Hello,

  I applied today updates to my cooker install and my X quit working.

  After looking around a bit I found that one of the updates changed
  the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file. It changed it so that the file had
  the line Desktop=GNOME.  I changed this back to just GNOME and then
  X started working again.

  Also there was a conflict /usr/bin/nc was a conflict between nedit
  and nc.

[Cooker] Policy for newbie installation

2001-02-20 Thread guran

Hi

The new groups of packages to be installed are very nice and gives an 
oportunity to discuss how they should be used for a newbie.

If the policy is to start everything that is installed from boot then the 
newbie might need some help in how to start his Linux life.

Assume that the page with the 'groups to be installed' has a couple of 
buttons to the left, entitled:

1   Workstation with no access to the Internet.
2   Workstation with access to the Internet only after own request.
3   ...
4   ...

The newbie is assumed to be allowed to play with these alternatives and to 
see which groups are to be included in his installation.

The new groups could just be discussed in printed form and to be read prior 
to installation.

regards
guran

Each library has a soname. This name fully qualifies the name and version
of the lib, according to future dependencies handling. To check a soname,
do:

[gc@bi ~] objdump -x /usr/lib/libbonobo.so | grep SONAME
  SONAME  libbonobo.so.2

The number is called the major number of the library. It indicates binary
compatibility between versions.

The first warning says to you that the library does not contain the SONAME
tag. This is because the ld call that created the dynamic library did not
contain the parameter "-soname" to set the soname. This is generally done
through gcc with the following parameter: "-Wl,-soname,libbonobo.so.2".

The second warning you understand :-).

Hmm... I think I found my problem... I'm using mirror to get new/updated
files. Since I ran it "first time" a few days ago, several files (like
gcc-2.96) have been updated from 0.37mdk to 0.38mdk. Both the 0.37mdk
and 0.38mdk files are appearing in my generated isos (after mounting
them I had a look)

(I can send a directory list of my RPMS1/2/3 if you'd like)

Is the mkcd.pl script supposed to check for the latest available package
in the RPMS directory and use only *that latest one* for generating the iso files?.

Can I "automaticly" remove older packages from the RPMS directory somehow?

[Cooker] 1.424 - install - nice evolution

/ChangeLog/1.424/Tue Feb 20 17:52:19 2001//  
Linux-Mandrake Cooker-i586 20010220 20:26

What a nice show, the only problem is most probably my own fault.

I installed everything and it went like a charm. In Summary I opted to 
install my hp 710c, which went nice. When the 'queues where shown' only one 
was to be seen, and an arrow that indicated that there was a curtain. I saw 
my lp and pressed on OK and it started all over again. It was just to press 
consequetive times on OK, but in the last step it got confused and hanged.
Ctrl-Alt-F3 ( as far as I could write it down, then it went to level 6 and 
said it was safe to reboot) running: lpadmin -p lp -E -v parallell:/dev/lp0 
-m 

I admit I did run this 'en routine' but the old form where done was an 
alternative is more secure for me, so I ended up restarting the installation, 
now without the printer.

Hmm... I think I found my problem... I'm using mirror to get new/updated
files. Since I ran it "first time" a few days ago, several files (like
gcc-2.96) have been updated from 0.37mdk to 0.38mdk. Both the 0.37mdk
and 0.38mdk files are appearing in my generated isos (after mounting
them I had a look).

(I can send a directory list of my RPMS1,2,3 if you'd like)

Is the mkcd.pl script supposed to check for the latest available package
in the RPMS directory and use only *that latest one*. 

Can I "automaticly" remove older packages somehow.

[Cooker] Mandrake Update vs. RPMdrake

2001-02-20 Thread Tim

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Are we sure that this is the best way to go for new users? After
checking with some of my friends that are less familiar with Linux,
they prefer the Mandrake Update utility over RPM Drake due to ease of
use. I haven't been able to keep up to date on Cooker so I've been
going strictly based on what I've read here. An update utility cannot
require users to have to go in and hack to get the right "media" set
up if the average computer user is going to be happy with it. =) Now
I might have read something wrong or misunderstood and if I did, my
sincerest apologies. Just trying to keep Mandrake at the top of
everyone's list of things to install. Funny thing... I'm so used to
uploading Mandrake to friends that I wasn't quite sure what to think
when the cable company sent me a letter telling me that if I uploaded
M$'s new blue screen creating software codenamed "Whistler" to anyone
else they would cut off my cable modem! lol

my 2.5 cents..

I had issues with my voodoo3 and hardware acceleration not working when

If supermount will be built in the kernel, will "modprobe" be able to 
recognize this fact (as it is no longer a module, but part of the kernel
itself ...)?

Re: [Cooker] Download from web location with Konqueror - or am I too stupid?

2001-02-20 Thread OS

Sorry if this is completely off topic, I've jumped in at this point !!

It appears that only IE handles files 'embeded' in the content type 
'Octet-Stream'. For example, if a normally viewable file is contained within 
an octet stream the normal 'content type' / 'file type' associations are not 
maintained. So a .jpg file will not even display, let alone launch an 
application because all other browsers see is "Octet-Stream".

[Cooker] rpmlint messages

2001-02-20 Thread Guillaume Rousse

When using rpmoint on recent packages i made from wolfpack, i have this on
lib rpm :
W: libY2 no-soname /usr/lib/libY2.so.12
W: libY2 devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/lib/libY2.so

The situation is there is only a dynamic lib file, with only minor number,
and one link to it, with just .so suffix
/usr/lib/libY2.so
/usr/lib/libY2.so.12
I could put the .so in devel package to please rpmlint, but that sounds
stupid. And what about the first message ?

[Cooker] Package Management

2001-02-20 Thread Van Holland

I thought I'd pass along something I found in my search to keep my Cooker 
installation up to date.  As has been discussed, MandrakeUpdate is now 
depreciated and has a tendency to blow up when fetching updates, and I 
could never get rpmdrak to fetch me just a list of the outdated packages 
on my system.  So after poking around a little I found that linuxconf has 
a program that can be enabled to do that for me.  (I'm not sure about the 
term here, but I think it's called a hook.)  Once enabled, I set it to 
look at my local mirror of Cooker and it showed me the outdated packages 
on my system.  I'm a little gun shy on having it actually do the 
upgrades, I prefer to do that myself, but it did show me what needed to 
be upgraded.

Ok, can you check the access right in /var/lib/urpmi/*, only list file should be

  Rpmdrake (will) recognize the old format as well, since it uses urpm.pm

  right.  for pre-release, you should use 0.3mdk (or 0.pre3 if you prefer)

I saw the same problem as Ruairi this weekend, up to date as of st least 
Saturday night.  So there are three possible explanations I see for it 
working for you...

-Either it was fixed over the weekend and the installer fix hadn't 
percolated out to us,
-You didn't install the standard 2.4.x kernel, you installed the 2.2.x 
kernel or perhaps even the 2.4.1-linus version of the kernel (though I 
doubt that).
-There is some bug that we tripped over and you didn't.  I believe I did a 
very vanilla install that time, because I was already suspicious that 
reiserfs wouldn't boot with 2.4.1, having tried copying my root fs to a 
reiserfs fs and booting late 2.3.x kernels, and failed at it for reasons 
I've yet to understand.

You  should use : 
0.7.0 for version
0.pre3-1(mdk) for release

therefore, when 0.7.0 final will be out, you'll just have to change to
0.7.0 for version and

[Cooker] Package versioning

What is the 'correct' way to handle version numbers such as "0.7.0pre3" so
that RPM correctly recognises "0.7.0" as being an upgrade to "0.7.0pre3"?  
I'm currently packaging kvoctrain which uses this scheme.  I think I saw

Maybe I understood why it did not work. In the changelog for last kernel 
(from kernel.org) I read:



http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/testing/patch-2.4.2.log

-pre3:
 - Jens: better ordering of requests when unable to merge
 - Neil Brown: make md work as a module again (we cannot autodetect
   in modules, not enough background information)
 - Neil Brown: raid5 SMP locking cleanups


Now I wish just to know: is the cooker's kernel alligned with the 
developement kernel, so that I could try installing it at home, or it still 
will NOT work?

This is obsolete. And I did the doc! Taken from cvs:


If you have your own rpms you want to add, or make your own updated cdrom, you
just have to issue:

% gendistrib --noclean --distrib 

Where  is the root of all the media that the install will see:

(1) network or 1-cdrom installs
DIRS == the root directory of the Distribution

(2) multi-cdrom install
DIRS == the root directories of all the media that the install will see

``gendistrib'' will scan, from the DIRS you provide, for some
Mandrake/RPMS* directories containing some RPM packages. For multi-cd,
please use Mandrake/RPMS, Mandrake/RPMS2, etc. For one CD or a network/hd
volume, please use Mandrake/RPMS.

Optionnally, you can modify ``Mandrake/base/rpmsrate''; this file manages
the relative importance of the files, and thus their installation or not.

Also, mdkinst_stage2.gz must be remade if you modify files in Mandrake/mdkinst.
See below for information about these files.

Any difference of what ? What do you want with it ? It does not run ?

It is a way to get the list of package to upgrade, you can use it, select for

currently on cooker the format has changed, gendeplist2 is obsolete now (it was
in 7.1 or before If I remember correctly).

Now use current rpmtools package that provide gendistrib, use it like this:
  gendistrib --noclean --distrib  [ ...]

It will build automatically hdlist and depslist.ordered file located in the
/Mandrake/base directory. It use in input the hdlists file
located in this directory to search for other media.

You are right, man page have not been updated but old format of urpmi.cfg is
still recognized by urpmi, maybe not by rpmdrake. Doing a urpmi.update -a
automatically rewrite urpmi.cfg.

I doubt the Gnome folks even know when the real release will be.  But 
some investigation shows most if not all of the new components of Gnome 
v1.4 are already contained in RPMS in the cooker directory.  Examples 
are Nautilus and gnome-vfs.

Re: [Cooker] Download from web location with Konqueror - or am I too stupid?

Interesting. You should get the "Open or Save" dialog. Send a mail to the
kfm-devel list about it.

Dunno if "/proc/filesystems" contains supermount at boot time if it is 
build as module ...
But if so you still have to replace "insmod -n" by "modprobe -n" ...

A good question.

[Cooker] Trafic shapping with Kernel 2.4 ?

2001-02-20 Thread Franck Martin

http://www.ds9a.nl/2.4Routing

Can someone confirm that the kernel 2.4 included in Mandrake has all the
capabilities explained in the above link?

Thanks to answer directly as I'm not subscribe to cooker...

[Cooker] Custom Install

2001-02-20 Thread JimBoB

I'm not sure this is the place but I can't find information anywhere else. I
want to consolidate the 2 Mandrake CD's into 1 with just the RPMS I actually
use/need. The following taken from the DrakX README fails, with 'bad hdlist'
when running gendeplist2.

If you have your own rpms you want to add, or make your own updated cdrom,
you
just have to update:
- Mandrake/base/hdlist: use ``misc/genhdlists --distrib .''
- Mandrake/base/depslist: use ``misc/gendepslist2 -o Mandrake/base/depslist
Mandrake/base/hdlist.cz2''

You can't build it on lm 7.2 because of the old tar. You need to download a 
new tar from cooker. This was due to a change on how tar handled its 
bzip2 filter option.

I still need the vfat module to be loaded to do that !

The automatic section is nice but have some limitation (feel free to
correct/insult me if I am wrong)

If you want all the information on a floppy and a floppy per server, you
want to store your IP, DNS, (+) information on the floppy. The problem is
that if you have a bootable CD with a modified sysconfig file, you don't
want to burn a CD per server to use the automatic keyword !

As well you can not perform more high level configuration action this way.
As well, some post installation action can be server dependant (You don't
allow the same IPCHAINS rules on a DNS and WEB server). Some of those
configuration can be implemented as "config" RPM but it is not always
convinient this way.

As a consequence, I still would like the vfat module to be present before
the postinstall. I can see not reason to not have it. I will not screw
anything ;*)

Feel free to let me know your thought.

Thomas

[Cooker] initscripts <-> supermont (again)

2001-02-20 Thread Stefan Siegel

Hi Chmouel and all,

i've tested the new initscripts "initscripts-5.60-3mdk". 
They always disable my supermount. 

I added "cat /proc/modules > /tmp/proc-modules" just befor the supermount 
test in "mandrake_everytime". Here the result:

+---8<--
| supermount 35120   4 (autoclean)
| nls_iso8859-1   2848   1 (autoclean)
| nls_cp437   4368   1 (autoclean)
| vfat   12144   1
| fat32640   0 [vfat]
+---8<--

As you can see, supermount is already loaded. Coult you please apply the 
attached patch to mandrake_everytime. 
It will not break anything, but fix my problem with already loaded module ...
(Tested here ...)

Thx in advance ...
