edward == Edward Avis [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Hi
This is a nono, if you need glibc-devel, ask for it. Notice than
asking for make don't make too many sense, as rpm should depend on

edward Why should rpm depend on make? I'm not aware that rpm ever calls make
edward for anything - unless the spec file asks for it, but of course the spec
edward file could ask for anything at all.
sorry, not rpm, rpm-devel.
[greping sources]
I was wrong, /usr/lib/rpm/*/macros belong to rpm instead of rpm-devel
quintela$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/rpm/i586-mandrake-linux/macros
rpm-4.0.3-0.13mdk
quintela$ grep make /usr/lib/rpm/i586-mandrake-linux/macros

%make if [ -z $NPROCS -a -f /proc/stat ]; then NPROCS=`egrep -c ^cpu[0-9]+

%{_make_bin} -j$NPROCS
%make_session if [ -x %{_fndsession_bin} ]; then %{_fndsession_bin} ||
true ; fi
you can see that rpm has embodied calls to make, but you are right, it
don't depend on it (and shouldn't, I think that rpm-devel should, but
that is a different story).
edward Shouldn't it be possible to install a small system without make? RPM is
edward essential to Linux-Mandrake, if you make rpm depend on make, then you
edward have made make essential too. But that doesn't reflect reality AFAIK.
I agree here, rpm should work without make, rpm-devel (or whatever
will be its name, not).
- Mandrake install gcc make in a default install, but:
1- that can change (a end user don't need make normally).
2- you don't want to have installed gcc/make whateven in one
firewall and similar devices.
edward So why make rpm depend on make? Or have I misunderstood you?
sorry for the confusion :(
Where do you draw the line, easy, if the package is in basesystem, you
don't need to ask for it, otherwise you need to ask for it explicitly.
edward Okay, and there is a stated assumption that if you don't have the
edward default base system installed, you can't expect to build packages?
I think that this is not an assumption, it is that if you remove _any_
package for basesystem, the system _could_ not work properly. It is
called basesystem for something :)
edward Again, I would suggest a package called 'base-system' which depends on
edward all the stuff included in the standard install. Then uninstalling gcc,
edward for example, would warn that you were losing base system functionality
edward (in an obscure kind of way) and you'd have to explicitly ask for this.
no, basesystem is _way_ less than standard install, it is the
_minimun_ ammount of packages to make the system work. You can think
of it as similar to minimal install allowed.
edward Similarly trying to build an RPM would warn that you need base-system
edward installed, and you couldn't install the base-system package without
edward actually having the needed stuff.
Sure, see above, if you remove _anything_ of basesystem:
1- it is better that you know what are you doing
2- nothing is guaranteed to work after that
edward However I think you would also dislike that idea. One could argue that
edward if you go around removing basic packages like make, you probably know
edward what you're doing and you can expect to take the consequences. Newbies
edward or moderately experienced users wouldn't do that. I think this is a
edward sensible position. But you still need to define what the base system
edward is, and wouldn't it be best for the user to get some warning that he is
edward about to uninstall base system functionality?
No, remove make is ok, and shouldn't be in the base-system. Having
rpm-build, or rpm-devel depending of make look right to me.
Later, Juan.

[OT] Re: [Cooker] Reply-To field
http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html This does not makes sense **at all**. List are suposed to be public bulletin boards, not private chat rooms! There is one point which is correct is the above web page, it's: FROM http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html: Can't Find My Way Back Home It may be impossible to reply to the author of a message once the Reply-To header is munged. The Reply-To header was not invented on a whim. It is there for the sender of a mail message to use. If you stomp on this header, you can lose important information. There are good reasons why the sender might insert a Reply-To header. The sender might not be the original author of the message (the name that appears in the From header). If responses should return to the sender and not the original author, then the sender will insert a Reply-To header. Or, maybe the sender added a Reply-To because he or she cannot receive email at the account from which the message was sent. There are many good reasons to place a Reply-To header into a mailing list message. If the Reply-To is munged by the mailing list, the value provided by the original sender is lost. Reply-To munging can make it impossible to reach the sender of a message. Note that there is no answer to this precise point in http://www.metasystema.org/essays/reply-to-useful.mhtml But the main point is that mailing-lists are poorly handled by the low-level mail headers, and specific headers should be used. I have to change my From: header to write to some mailing lists because they only accept this From: for the posting. I also change my From: for normal messages because people don't use the Reply-To for addressbooks usually but the From. Therefore, people get [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is explicitely referencing a specific computer, whereas I'd like to have [EMAIL PROTECTED], which I can redirect to any specific computer. Basically, I'm on my computer (lpnp69), and my official email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'd expect my configuration to be: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tomorrow, for some obscure reason (let's say I'm changing lab), my computer becomes cdfas1, and I have no more account on lpnp69. Then two problems arise: - I cannot send mails to the mailing list, I have to resubscribe - people browsing the archives and wanting to send me a mail (I do that quite often, browsing an archive, saw that somebody had the same problem, and mail him to know if he has found something if the answer is not on the list) cannot do it, as my official email [EMAIL PROTECTED] has been mungled It should be the work of mailers to provide functions to handle mailing-lists. Of course, as only a few do, Reply-To mungling is after all a good idea. But in a perfect world, it shouldn't (perfect world=world where every body would use good mailers, such has mutt which have specific code to handle mailing lists).

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkcontainer.c: line 715 (gtk_container_add): assertion `widget-parent == NULL' failed. extracting egcs-cpp-1.1.2-48mdk.i586 extracting egcs-1.1.2-48mdk.i586 extracting libgdbm1-1.8.0-16mdk.i586 extracting postgresql-libs-7.1.2-4mdk.i586 extracting postgresql-7.1.2-4mdk.i586 extracting egcs-cpp-1.1.2-48mdk.i586 extracting egcs-1.1.2-48mdk.i586 extracting libgdbm1-1.8.0-16mdk.i586 extracting postgresql-libs-7.1.2-4mdk.i586 extracting postgresql-7.1.2-4mdk.i586 First of all, the 'Gtk-CRITICAL' warning should worry you. If GTK weren't so smart, we'd have a crash on our hands. Second, it says 'extracting' without ever getting any packages. I think it should realize that these packages aren't there. Again, I posted about some bugs like these before, maybe you have them already. 2.) rpm -q kernel kernel-2.4.6-2mdk kernel-2.4.6-2mdk I have two kernel rpms installed. Granted rpm was never meant to be used this way.. BUT.. shouldn't MandrkaeUpdat e realize that if kernel-2.4.6-2mdk is installed and kernel-2.4.6-2mdk is on ftp, that even if I have another one installed (older or newer kernel) as well that *I do not need to upgrade*. I already have the latest kernel installed as shown above. 3.) BTW, the Easy Updates option kind of conflicts with an existing configuration. For example, I have only a Cooker source. Adding an update_source is not going to help me any. Maybe Easy Update (what is this for anyway?), should include Cooker updates, and maybe even grey out the normal security etc. options so that they can't be used, as those are of no use to a Cooker user. regards, DindinX -- Sincerely, David Walluck [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Cooker] rpm corruption
Hi, I ended up with a corrupted /var/lib/rpm/Packages after removing few old kernels this morning. rpm --verifydb --vv fails on this Packages file, and rpm -qa does not display anything (it fails to decode the first package) However the file still contains all the names since I can still install remove or query packages. Is there a way to rebuild this file (or clean it). rpm --rebuilddb does not work. Trouble here, rpm -qa locks the machine and it is used by update-menus which runs in the background. _ Free email with personality! Over 200 domains! http://www.MyOwnEmail.com

My real point is having a means of control that is less influenced by whether and to what the reply to header is set, and more to what I choose to do. Maybe (not exactly addressing your point) the second approach: Reply quoted (with no addressees) Reply unquoted (with no addressees) Add originator to reply Add (mail)list to reply Add ccs to reply should be adjusted to add 'Add reply to to reply' (with better wording ;-), and possibly deleting one of the other options -- not sure which. Again, the point is to let me make a selection and to know that it is doing what I request, and not having me make a selection and having the reply address vary depending on the setting of the reply to header (unless I want it to).
