  Didn't you noticed KDE package are currently even

  They are all build with debug activated, as it is a

 Yeah I noticed that, but does KDE know what compiler
 flags it's compiled with and changed the default
 kdebug configuration?  I think this is a seperate
 issue.  Also, I think Mandrake's KDE packages, even in
 stable releases, have generally been this verbose.

Yes I will look at this problem.

[Cooker] Auto view/play MPEG under Konqueror Filebrowser (KDE 3.1 RC3)

2002-11-14 Thread Robert Fox
Previously, on KDE 3.04 - when I had an Mpeg file in the Konqueror
browser and moved the mouse over it - it automatically played the file
with the internal application (noatun)

Now when I use KDE 3.1 RC3 - and move the mouse over an Mpeg file - I
hear the sound from the file - but no video.

Is this a bug?  i tried checking all of the settings for Konqueror and
couldn't find anything about this.

MP3s work just fine this way.

Thanks,
R.Fox

 Anyways, bind8 is only in 7.2 and SNF7.2... 8.0+ install bind9 by
 default.  I'm actually impressed that bind9 isn't affected by any of
 this, but it sure makes it easy to support.  Why are you still using
 bind8 (I'm assuming you're not using a 7.2 box since this is on cooker).

There are people refusing to upgrade, and my bind-chroot packages are for 
them. But anyway after a couple of hours fiddling with the conf files I was 
able to run one of my clients 2000+ hosts zone files under 9.2.1, so I will 
recommend them to upgrade.

 Actually, the real question, is why are you still using bind at all?

Because I do not trust tinydns to do the job. I know a guy that has been

2002-11-14 Thread Gwenole Beauchesne
Hi,


I don't agree: I suppose that mandrakesoft has an automated build 
procedure, a warning will probably go unnoticed, while a package that 
fails to build will surely get a maintaner attention. The result will 
be many less broken packages (I hope).

Exactly! Too maintainers simply don't care about their packages. This is 
a means to bring attention to possible new files added through packages 
updates and also fix existing packages that have missing files.

Bye,
Gwenole

[Cooker] kernel oops upon plugging in an usb camera

2002-11-14 Thread Udo Rader




hi,



I have massive troubles with the usb functionality of both the LM9.0 and current cooker kernel.



Everytime I plug in a digital camera (Olympus C-1) the kernel almost immediately oops on 2 places, the first one does not even get into one of the log files but shows only on the console.



This error does __NOT__ occur with the linus kernel, so this is MDK related.

Summary: A Windows 16/32 bit emulator.

While Wine is usually thought of as a Windows(TM) emulator, the Wine
developers would prefer that users thought of Wine as a Windows
compatibility layer for UNIX. This package includes a program loader,
which allows unmodified Windows 3.1/95/NT binaries to run under Intel

 Thanks Ben. _That_ should have been included in the global macros.

I doubt they are going to put it in the global macros.

Like I said this should be a warning.  You can't do it at rpmlint time
because rpmlint doesn't have access to what files were installed during
the %install phase.  So it has to be done in the build process.  

All that is going to happen with this is that people are going to turn
it off in the rpmmacros or in every spec file and then nobody sees the
warnings and nobody fixes the missing files that it's intended to fix.
Frankly rpm should do what we tell it to do.  Even if it's something
stupid.  Stupid things tend to allow creative solutions to problems.

Mandrake has so many better things to worry about.  My 9.0 install has
116 packages that violate the lib policy installed.  Many packages ship
with spelling errors that rpmlint catches.  So let's work on getting
packagers (employees or not) to pay attention to the warnings that are
emitted and to run rpmlint.

 Default postgresql encoding is determined when initdb is run, which currently

 Moreover, it default to SQL_ASCII, which seems to have broken UTF8 conversion,

 I'm starting to get _really_ annoyed with all rpm related issues... There has 
 to be a smarter package system where version of the package manager _does 
 not_ impact past or future packages as much as rpm does... rpm2deb?

1.  The 'make install' decision is that of the initial package 
maintainer, not of RPM -- if you don't want the documents 
installed, exit the makefile or Makefile.in with a patch file

2.  If you don't like that answer, the suggestion to remove 
the doc's during the package generation process with some 
simple shell scripting inline in the %make stanza, AFTER the 
'make install' will work fine -- this avoids the need for a 
patch at the risk of adding complexity to the .spec file, but 
is operfectly acceptible

3.  Failing that, at RPM package install time, any package can 
be installed without items identified in a %doc stanza -- 
there is a --nodocs option on install, and that will keep them 
out of an installed system.

Don't get annoyed with rpm -- that is the wrong target.  The
issue is poor packaging by people who will not follow the
Mandrake guildelines, and keep up with the power of the tool.

4.  It is not a matter of Red Hat building Mandrake at all -- 
it is a matter of being willing to read the man pages.

An effective packager must be being willing to participate in
the rpm-list sponsored by Red Hat, and the rpm-list sponsored
by Mathias (a Mandrake-using packager), [I challenge Mandrake 
to open subscription to its rpm-list -- it is NOT documented 
on the public webpages, anthough content from it is 
cross-posted into cooker list from time to time] 

And that packager meeds to keep up with the evoultion of the
RPM tool and _why_ and _how_ to use it well.  Both lists cited
are vendor neutral in tone and advice; I try to keep:
  http://www.rpm.org/

[Cooker] Bitten by 'undefined symbol: __dso_handle'

Hi all,

I am getting failure on dlopen with dlerror message as 'undefined symbol: 
__dso_handle'. Following is my system configuration on top of MDK 9.0 These 
are upgraded packages from cooker today. Besides I have binutils 2.13.1

I have found that this is something to do with .hidden directive and

Has anybody else experienced this problem? Any solution? Code used to work 
fine on MDK 8.2. Besides I do not get this failure for all libraries. Some 
simple libraries gets loaded but C++ libraries have some problems. Though 
that's may not be the exact pattern for errors. Just an observation..

[Cooker] kde menus

bigger format, which is better for navigation and design.

What can be do in order to simplify the K main menu and enhance coherency of 
the user interface : 
applications 
configuration 
documentation 
que faire/what do ? 
multimedia 
network 
terminals 
kde control center - move to configuration menu / remove (items are already 
in configuration menu) 
 
configure panel - right click on K or task bar do the same - remove 
personal files - home directory is quick accessible both in desktop and task 
bar - remove 
 
find files 
printing management - configuration menu 
info center - is already in configuration menu - remove 
kmenuedit - is already in configuration menu / accessible by right click in

 I had to disable the warning for  two  packages  because  it  complained
 about doc-files that were installed by the install target in  the  wrong
 directory. I have to use the %doc macro for the docs.

Many packages install docs to the wrong place, they should either be
fixed (and the fix upstreamed) or hacked around ... preferably fixed.

Of course, many packages insist on needing root permissions in their
install target :-(.


 Once again I think it is a good idea to have  something  that  tells  me
 that I some files are not in the package, but more than a warning is not
 good. Now I have to outsmart your  script  and  it  will  result  in  me
 turning it off and then the script would loose all funtion.

 I always read all output from the rpm build process  and  I  always  use
 rpmlint to search for possible errors. So if your script would  warn  it
 would be a usefull addition.


IMHO, a more useful exit would be when a file listed in %doc doesn't
exist. At the moment, if one file in %doc is missing, all the files
after it are excluded, *silently*. You only get the warning about one
missing file, %doc exits non-zero, but rpm happily builds a bad package.
This has caused samba to ship with only about 15% of it's docs for a
number of (not-in-final-distro) releases.

I actually put this as a bug in bugzilla against rpm ...

Tell me again, is bugzilla going to be used?

I have found that this is something to do with .hidden directive and 
linker/assembler. Only thing I have not done is compiling gcc by hand.

Has anybody else experienced this problem? Any solution? Code used to work 
fine on MDK 8.2. Besides I do not get this failure for all libraries. Some 
simple libraries gets loaded but C++ libraries have some problems. Though 
that's may not be the exact pattern for errors. Just an observation..

Yes! I got the same problems yesterday (both on 9.0 and latest Cooker). 
I have not recompiled any binutils/gcc/glibc.

The problem is that crtbegin{,S,T}.o, which define __dso_handle, are not 
being included in the library.

I found that removing -nostdlib from my library link options solved the 
problem (not fully tested them so there may be other gremlims lurking 
from removal of -nostdlib).

On some libraries I could get away with just removing an unnecessary 
inclusion of iostream from the source, removing the need for the 
library to want __dso_handle. This might be why the simple libraries load.

 Mdk team  cookers, what do you think about a software map, visible on

 - main / contribs

urpmq --sources package

 - category

rpm -qi package

 - last version

rpm -q pacakge
urpmq --sources pacage

 - a link to software web site

rpm -qi package
http://cvs.mandrakesoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SPECS/package/

 - a link to spec file in cvs

Make yourself a labelled bookmark, I have a few, some called 'specs' and
'contrib-specs', which look like this:
http://cvs.mandrakesoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SPECS/%s/

So, I just type: specs postfix to get to
http://cvs.mandrakesoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SPECS/postfix/

 - active maintener(s) of each package with email in order to join them
(bug,
 new version,...)

Same as above, but with rpmmon:
http://ben.reser.org/mandrake/rpmmon/rpmmon.cgi?package=%s
so rpmmon postfix gives:
http://ben.reser.org/mandrake/rpmmon/rpmmon.cgi?package=postfix


 It could be greet for packages quality, no ?


I don't know if it would be that valuable. Most valuable feature is to
know if it is in main or contrib.

I would prefer urpmq to be able to give me this info, specifically url,
packager, description. urpmq is much faster than any website (IMHO).

And it would be nice if I didn't need to be root to 'urpmq --sources'.

I think time could be better spent on bugzilla  or putting these
labelled bookmarks into the default bookmars, along with one for
bugzilla (bugzilla bugid?).

[Cooker] rpmlint problems

2002-11-14 Thread Luca Olivetti
While packaging a new release of the cyrus imapd server, I'd like to 
make rpmlint happy (or at least happier), but I'm having these problems 
I don't know how to fix:

W: cyrus-imapd invalid-license OSI Approved

Well, I know it's not in the list of licenses, but none of them applies.
The license is at http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/imapd/license.html, what 
should I use?
Probably the licenses list should be expanded (hey, there's a Vovida 
Software License and a CVW License, why not a CMU license?)


W: cyrus-imapd source-or-patch-not-bzipped

this is easy to fix, but isn't the srpm already compressed? does it 
really make a difference?

E: cyrus-imapd configure-without-libdir-spec

???
that's probably because there are 2 configure, one of them isn't using 
the %configure macro (if I use it it won't compile).
BTW, while speaking of libdir, when will be mandrake's rpm fixed to use 
/usr/libexec as %libexecdir instead of /usr/lib ?

E: cyrus-imapd use-of-RPM_SOURCE_DIR

that's funny, since I replaced all $RPM_SOURCE_DIR/something with the 
corresponding %{SOURCEXX}, the problem is that for a couple of files in 
%doc, rpm would look for them under the buildroot and obviously failing, 
so I had to change that back to use $RPM_SOURCE_DIR:

[Cooker] coda and rvm

2002-11-14 Thread Marcel Pol


Hello,
I've updated coda so it builds with gcc 3.2.
I have rvm and coda uploaded to /incoming, and it should also be available on
http://chaosmongers.org/download/Mandrake/SRPMS
I tried to build 5.3.19, but it didn't compile with gcc 3.2, therefore I used
the cvs version. It seems to work ok for me.

I myself ran into problems with kerberos support. The kerberos patch makes it
compile with kerberos support, but it seems I can't login with clog with a
normal coda password then. I get an authentication error. I have no experience
with kerberos, so I haven't yet figured out how or why.
When I compile the server without the kerberos patch everything works fine for
me.

Also, the %build part in the specfile uses chown $LOGNAME.users, but even
when I add myself to the group users, I get operation not permitted. Using
chown $LOGNAME.$LOGNAME works for me. Should it really use the group users?
But maybe my setup is broken. It works ok on my ppc computer.

Further I have a request; could the librpc23 and the liblwp2 packages be
rebuilt? I believe they're not rebuilt with gcc 3.2. They should compile fine.

[Cooker] artsd and nas

2002-11-14 Thread Per Øyvind Karlsen
Laurent, could you compile artsd with nas support?
This would be really helpful for the terminal server package as this 
would make setting up sound pretty easy and transparent,
there's nas packages in contrib(which I currently maintain) and I think 
myself that the quality on these are good:)

It would simply be to add libnas-devel to BuildRequires in artsd and 
then artsd will autodetect if nasd is installed

 Linux is like evolution, if you are lucky, what you need emerges, if not

The point is Mandrake wants to make money, therefore they need bigger install 
base, therefore they need to make windows users transfer to linux, therefore

That's better than modifying the makefile.  But it's still stupid.
I can think of many reasons why files might not get included that a
package might install.  Things from Mandrake not shipping the matrix
screensaver to a package installing it's documentation in the wrong
place.  rpm has no way of knowing if you're doing something smart or
something stupid.  Ultimately it takes a human making the correct
decision.

Forcing us to rm everything is a waste of time.

 3.  Failing that, at RPM package install time, any package can 
 be installed without items identified in a %doc stanza -- 
 there is a --nodocs option on install, and that will keep them 
 out of an installed system.

Huh?  This is not a solution to the problem at hand.  It's a nice option
for users but does nothing for packagers.  And it certainly does nothing
for issues above and beyond documentation files.

 Don't get annoyed with rpm -- that is the wrong target.  The
 issue is poor packaging by people who will not follow the
 Mandrake guildelines, and keep up with the power of the tool.

This does nothing to fix the tons of issues of people not following
Mandrake guidelines.  rpm will still blissfully build packages with bad
menu systems.  It still will build rpms that don't follow the allowed
Groups.  It still lets people use xpm's instead of pngs.  It doesn't
complain about gzip instead of bzip2.  etc etc etc.  

And it shouldn't.  There are legitimate reasons for violating some of
these guidelines.  There's a reason why they are guidelines and not
rules.  There is a reason why some things rpmlint calls errors and some
things it calls warnings.

What we really ought to do is have a flag on rpm that lets the packager
say if there is a warning stop.  Then set the check to emit warnings.
Then you upgrade a package to a new version you run the build with that
flag.  Fix any legitimate errors and go on.  Ultimately this is what
this change is about.  Fixing updates that have missing files.

 4.  It is not a matter of Red Hat building Mandrake at all -- 
 it is a matter of being willing to read the man pages.

 An effective packager must be being willing to participate in
 the rpm-list sponsored by Red Hat, and the rpm-list sponsored
 by Mathias (a Mandrake-using packager), [I challenge Mandrake 
 to open subscription to its rpm-list -- it is NOT documented 
 on the public webpages, anthough content from it is 
 cross-posted into cooker list from time to time] 
 
 And that packager meeds to keep up with the evoultion of the
 RPM tool and _why_ and _how_ to use it well.  Both lists cited
 are vendor neutral in tone and advice; I try to keep:
   http://www.rpm.org/ 
 thus as well, with a public editorial mailing list explaining 
 and inviting a vendor neutral expolition of RPM.

Reading the man page is nice and all but there are quite a few of us
that are experienced packagers.  Who produce quality packages on a
regular basis.  And I'm willing to bet most of us don't subscribe to
those lists.  I get enough email on this list and others.  I don't need
to subscribe about the package manager.  I can find plenty of
documentation to help me build good packages out there.  The Mandrake
rpm howto (though slightly out of date) is really good.

Re: [Cooker] Mandrake Made Easy: a modest suggestion for Windows users[linux , what sucks ?]

2002-11-14 Thread Michael Scherer
 The point is Mandrake wants to make money, therefore they need bigger
 install base, therefore they need to make windows users transfer to linux,
 therefore what keeps windows users from using linux, therefore try to
 imagine what do we need to add or change.
If you want to do money, i think it is better to aims at the small enterprise 
market.
Therefore, there is no need for all these fancy multimedia application.
For thing such as simple wordprocessing, and web surfing and so on, there is 
alternatives.
Very good one, which runs on old hardware.
Think abiword, icewm, roxfiler and all.

With gnucash ( I didn't tried it, mauybe it is bad), and some other 
applications, even not GPL one, but downloaded from Mandrake club, it should 
work.

And, cause Mandrake is localised, it is far better for people who don t speak 
english. And could adapted to fiscal laws of the country ( for gnucash )

I do not even speak of macro virus free, and the other security related 
advantages.

With a maintenance contract, where someone sometimes logs with ssh, on a 
system which cannot be messed by the user, it could be interesting.
The kiosk framework in KDE3.1, which enables to controls which kde settings 
can be change, is a important step toward Linux in enterprise offices.

So, do not aim too much home users, they always  complains for not having 
Windows on linux.
It is too hard to use urpmi, but, to use winzip, search on the web a crack and 
download warez , nobody ever say it is too difficult.

Can something also be implemented to check BuildRequires? -- Would help

It's quite simple to implement: only upload the src.rpm and let the
