[Cooker] Official Non-English Word Lists Packages Now Available (fwd)
Thought this might be of interest since you have Aspell dictionaries in your distribution. Sorry for posting it to the list, there did not seam to be any single maintainer of the Aspell packages. -- Kevin Atkinson kevina at users sourceforge net http://www.ibiblio.org/kevina/ -- Forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2001 06:08:01 -0400 (EDT) From: Kevin Atkinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Official Non-English Word Lists Packages Now Available [Please redistribute this announcement as you see fit] In an effort to make installing word lists for non-English languages in Aspell straightforward I have decided to release foreign language dictionaries in a standard format. A preliminary version of my efforts are currently available at the Aspell home page (http://aspell.sourceforge.net). There you will find support for the following languages: Breton (br), Catalan (ca), Czech (cs), Danish (da), Dutch (nl), Esperanto (eo), Faroese (fo), French (fo), French (fr), German (de), Italian (it), Norwegian (no), Polish (pl), Russian (ru), Spanish (es), Swedish (sv). Please check them out and let me know what you think, but please keep in mind that these are preliminary and subject to change. These packages contain everything needed to add support for a given language to Aspell. These packages will also install the necessary files so that the Word List will be correctly recognized by Pspell -- something that is often not handled correctly by Word List author's Aspell packages. Support for variants in languages (such as American, British, Canadian, Swiss German, etc...) is not yet available as I am currently not sure the best way to do this. However, support *will* be available by the next version of Pspell and Aspell as I am planning on also packaging the English dictionaries this way and distribute it separately. Authors of the word lists used to create these packages are encouraged to check them out to make sure I did things correctly. In the near future I will allow you (the word list author) to maintain the packages your self, but for right now I want to maintain tight control over them as the format is not quite finalized yet. Also, I am especially interested in feedback from Package Maintainers (RPM, Debian, etc.) as the Makefile is rather primitive and probably does not install things correctly nor support the options needed by maintainers to make package simple. Suggestions are more than welcome, but patches to the proc script (the script which does all the real work) are even more welcome. I am also strongly interested in what you think about the layout of the dictionary files and language names. Technical Notes for Word List authors and Package Maintainers In order to make things as straight forward, portable, and uniform, I have decided to enforce the following rules. 1) All language names are now the two letter ISO code (en, da) etc. 2) The actual dictionary files must all start with the two letter code and end in .rws and may only contain ASCII characters. 3) Alias are created using Aspell's multi files and not symbolic links. These rules are very different from the current way dictionaries are handled but I fell they will make life easier for everyone. The reason for the first rule is because in the past the Aspell language names were a mixture of the name spelled out in English and the name spelled out in the native language and in some cases involved non-ASCII characters which was just asking for trouble on non-Unix like platforms and probably some older Unix ones. Some people want as far as doing it both ways by symbolically linking one language data file to the other. This amazingly worked but it is a complete abuse of how languages names and data files are meant to be used. Finally others, thought that language variants (American, Swiss German, etc.) should be considered separate languages and either attempt to specify them as a language at the command line, for example trying aspell --lang=canadian ... or creating separate data files for them. All of this did no good but to confuse people so I wanted to formalize this and was originally planning on using the language name spelled out in ASCII characters but released that in many cases I didn't know what this should be so I decided to go with the universal known language codes. The second rule is there so that is is clear which words lists belong to which languages. I require them to be all ASCII characters for maximum portability. However, the end user is not expected to use these words lists directly. Instead they are expected to use one of the aliases created via the .multi file. These alias can be anything what so every and may included non ASCII characters. Symbolic links are not used as there are Unix specific and not supported by Win32. Non-ASCII characters are okay for aliases as they can simply not be installed on platforms which

[Cooker] rpm spec file mode in emacs
Hi,
the rpm mode for emacs has a default specfile template, that has still a
Copyright field. The result are lots of upgrades with s/Copyright/License/ in
changelog. We should fix the rpm-spec-mode.el to have a better default.
I created a small bugfix and made the attached patch.
Please include it in the next rpm-build package.

[Cooker] kdmgreet sigfault
Wonder if anyone knows this offhand, or has encountered it. Upgraded to XFree86-4.1.0-3mdk about a week ago and then installed the Nvidia 1.0.1251 closed source (icky) driver for some Mesa acceleration. Everything worked great, and I was very very happy. Now I just upgraded yesterday to the XFree86-4.1.0-4mdk release and I keep on getting sigfaults in kdmgreet when I try to use runlevel 5. I thought it might have been a dependency problem, so I decided to format another computer, install 4.1.0-4mdk, and upgrade the video driver...still got the same problem. Just an annoying little bug, and I'm wondering what was changed from -3mdk to -4mdk. Funny thing is that KDE will boot if you use the 'startx' command, but that because kdmgreet isn't loading ;).

Why that? the effects can be even worse for large amounts of RAM. Imagine someone installing with 1G of memory and 100M of swap. That would give the system 100MB of RAM and no swap at all after doing swapon.

[Cooker] [DESPERATE] Memory detection problem, kernel 2.4.5-5mdk
Hello all, I've got a problem detecting the correct amount of physical memory on a serverworks LE based-board (ASUS CUR-DLS) with 1GB of ECC RAM. The BIOS memory count goes right up to 1GB, no problems there, however, when Linux (mandrake 8.0) boots with kernel 2.4.5-5mdk (the latest in cooker), it consistently shows only: == ~ (#1001) free -o -t total used free sharedbuffers cached Mem:899860 632944 266916 1048 220892 201368 Swap: 773216 0 773216 Total: 1673076 6329441040132 = That make something like 146MB missing from main memory. Where did it go, why didn't the kernel detect it? I'm at my wits end, i've: 1. Added the append= mem=1024M in the lilo config, made sure that the kernel saw it by checking /proc/cmdline, yet there's no effect! 2. updated/re-flashed the BIOS to the latest one posted by ASUS, still no luck, and there does not seem to be anyone discussing this on usenet (google groups) or mailing lists. the output of e820info in /proc is ~ (#1003) cat /proc/e820info 0009ec00 @ (usable) 1400 @ 0009ec00 (reserved) 0001 @ 000f (reserved) 3fefb000 @ 0010 (usable) 4000 @ 3fffb000 (ACPI data) 1000 @ 3000 (ACPI NVS) 0001 @ fec0 (reserved) 1000 @ fee0 (reserved) 0008 @ fff8 (reserved) and /proc/mtrr is reg00: base=0x ( 0MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1 But i don't really know how to read this... /proc/meminfo is total:used:free: shared: buffers: cached: Mem: 921456640 663560192 257896448 1073152 227299328 221999104 Swap: 7917731840 791773184 MemTotal: 899860 kB MemFree:251852 kB MemShared:1048 kB Buffers:221972 kB Cached: 216796 kB Active: 394008 kB Inact_dirty: 45808 kB Inact_clean: 0 kB Inact_target: 64 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree:0 kB LowTotal: 899860 kB LowFree:251852 kB SwapTotal: 773216 kB SwapFree: 773216 kB Anyone here who can point me in the right direction?

Re: [Cooker] Upgrading 'setup' removes groups!
So sprach Chmouel Boudjnah am Fri, Jun 15, 2001 at 05:07:25PM +0200: so you see it doen't remove the groups, could you tell me when it does ? Yes, I'll do. It removed groups when upgrading from 6mdk to 7mdk, and when going from 7mdk to 8mdk. I'll report again when it happens again.
