RE: [Cooker] DrakX mount all volumes in expert mode
Or do you know some way to tarball a complete install and move it to the cart?? Actually, yes. If you haven't already looked at it, try the VA SystemImager. More details at: http://freshmeat.net/projects/vasystemimager/ Haven't tried it yet, but thought about it quite a few times, especially for getting Mandrake on an i486 laptop since the Mdk7.0/i486 distro has broken PCMCIA.

RE: [Cooker] DraX: please add retry button...
is it possible to add a "retry" button to the fail-dialog? i.e. the dialog that appears when DraX burps about failed packages.. Right now you have "Yes", that continues and skips the packet and "No" that let you start all over again .. Christian Problem is, it often burps for a reason - and will fail if you retry anyway. Actually need a way to go around the failure to fix the problem, or only skip ONE package instead of all the ones in that group (loads anywhere from 8 to 45 files at a time, and if one fails, all the ones after it fail, too). Is an interesting problem. I was installing on an IBM ThinkPad laptop the other day, and all I can figure is that there's something wrong with the CD-ROM drive or interface or something. About every 50th package or so, it would burp on one. Now, the packages on the CD were fine, I was able to install them afterwards with no problem. I wish there would have been a retry button. Not sure if it's trying to read too much/too fast from the CD-ROM drive or what. Very kooky problem.

Re: [Cooker] urpmi vs. urpmq - dependencies list
Andrej Borsenkow [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: root@localhost ~ # urpmq -d initscripts read depslist file [/var/lib/urpmi/depslist.ordered] initscripts strange, can you check what you have for initscripts in /var/lib/urpmi/depslist.ordered ? but urpmi -m initscripts still wanted to install at least ldconfig (and somethig else, I forgot) Besides, -m spits out a lot of debug messages. The point is to pull only those RPMs that are really needed to satisfy dependencies. Even when RPM foo depends on RPM bar and I have older version of bar installed, but foo does NOT requires new version, I do NOT want new version automatically installed. It may be actually useful, but it is difference between "install package with dependencies closure" and "update all required packages as well" This is exactly has -m is expected to do... furthermore it is expected to upgrade package that are not dependancies but requires the old version, it assume the newer package will be right (typically for devel packages). But, hey, it is a perl ... let's see if I have time at weekend :-) -andrej Franois.

RE: [Cooker] How to set up a cooker system and keeping it current ?
No, that won't work. rpm -Uvh *.rpm will.Freshen will ignore new rpms that were not there before. Exactly - that's why I use freshen. You need to watch for the extra packages, like when a single package splits into two, manually. You may consider urpmi. It has exactly the task to check dependencies and install them if needed. So, urpmi foo is basically the same as rpm -Fvh foo + rpm -ivh for additional packages foo depends upon. urpmi is using separate database that has to be updated every time you update your mirror. -andrej

RE: [Cooker] How to set up a cooker system and keeping it current ?
I have been following this discussion, and I must say that I am confused! MandrakeUpdate worked very well for me (until whatever happened that caused it to crash every time), but I have yet to get rpmdrake/urpmi working at all. When I start rpmdrake, it never gives me a list of RPMs, either currently installed or in my local mirror of the cooker. 'Edit Media' does not seem to work at all, as it never lets me point to my mirror! I gather that the key to getting this working is to set up urpmi's configuration file to point to my local copy of the cooker. However, it certainly is not obvious how one does that and every attempt that I have made based on mailing list comments has failed. So -- if I have created a mirror of cooker in /e/cooker how do I tell the configuration file to use it? Thanks, Paul z/OS BCP Development Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [Cooker] gcc 2.96 - statement of intent, please?
I have to wonder what's going to happen here myself - I was told that gnome 1.4 (due in march) wouldn't be done in time to make it into 8.0. So I am guessing that at the very least cooker will freeze before then. If that's the case then gnome can't be rebuilt and tested in time for release then surely an entire rebuild of the distro with a new compiler (if 3.0 is even ready) is out of the question. So one would assume that it is Mandrakes full intent to release 8.0 with gcc 2.96 snapshot? Is this the fact? What is Mandrakes stance on this, if so? How is it justified? If Mandrake has other plans than using a compiler snapshot, what are they?

I'm more concerned about the problems that might arise simply because the packages in the distro were built with it.

There will be rpm's for i386 using glibc 2.1 with gcc2.96, 2.2 with gcc 2.96, 2.2 with 2.96 and 2.2 with gcc 3.0 eventually. May as well just figure on using source for everything.

Mod_gzip is a content encoding module for Apache. When properly installed it can provide some tremendous savings on bandwidth, and improvements in performance. Problem is, it doesn't properly install under LM (v7.2) - apapche errors out at restart. This might be due to some of the existing patches.

So, urpmi foo is basically the same as rpm -Fvh foo + rpm -ivh for additional packages foo depends upon. This is incorrect. Try for example: rpm -e zsh-doc I picked this at random since I'm not using it Now do urpmi zsh-doc You will see 2 problems. First, it wants to install zsh-doc, which means it is NOT doing a freshen, but an install. Secondly, it has a dependency on a non-existent package (perl-base-5.7). Note that if you do an rpm -ivh on zsh-doc, the dependency is not there and the package installs normally. The bottom line is that urpmi is not the right tool for the job, and what it does try to do it is getting wrong (in this case anyway). This isn't to say that urpmi is all bad.

[Cooker] xinetd problems
Everytime I update my cooker, xinetd stops working because the alternative link seems to get broken. This is the output from rpm -Fvh xinetd* xinetd ## Removing manually selected alternative - switching to auto mode And then the link in /usr/sbin is broken. To correct it I have to: # ls -l /usr/sbin/xinetd* -rwxr-xr-x1 root root 151580 Feb 21 03:13 /usr/sbin/xinetd-2.1.8.9pre14* # update-alternatives --install /usr/sbin/xinetd xinetd /usr/sbin/xinetd-2.1.8. 9pre14 10 # ls -l /usr/sbin/xinetd* lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 24 Feb 23 22:06 /usr/sbin/xinetd - /etc/alternatives/xinetd* -rwxr-xr-x1 root root 151580 Feb 21 03:13 /usr/sbin/xinetd-2.1.8.9pre14* Thots? b. -- Brian J.

Fix: boot into single user mode (type "linux single" at the LILO prompt) and comment out the line in /etc/sysconfig/network that says DOMAINNAME=x I really hope someone comes up with a fix for this for upgraders before 8.0 is released. It is already fixed in current initscripts. i have not seen anything in changelog about this, but the fact is, it just works :-)
