[Cooker] Contrib package: openclit-12-1mdk
From the package description: OpenCLit converts ebooks from the proprietary Microsoft .lit format to the Open eBook format. There are no programs that can read .lit books for linux (or anything but recent versions of Windows and PocketPC), so this is the only way to read .lit files. Unfortunately, the only programs that can handle Open eBook files on linux are closed source (e.g., Opera), but the .opf file is an XML document, and the actual text and graphics are stored in standard formats like html and jpg. The DRM5 features do not work on linux (you need a registered copy of Microsoft Reader, and there is no such thing for linux), but the main functionality (converting to Open eBook format) works just fine. The name and version number are pretty inconsistent (it's openclit, clit, clit12, convertlit, etc., and the version is 12 or 1.2), but I think this is that openclit-12 is the best way to name the package (and the binary is /usr/bin/clit). A few possible issues: * The code is distributed as GPL according to the website, but there's no COPYING or LICENSE file--so, while the copyleft notice is included in the source, it won't make it anywhere into the binary package. * One of the included libraries (which it statically links) is GPL'd by another author (the rest are public domain), and his copyleft message won't appear anywhere in the binary package either. * Converting .lit books that you own into a format that you can read on linux (or a Palm, or even an older PocketPC or Windows box) should be legal fair use in America or any Berne Convention signatory (just like programs to convert .doc, .pdf, etc. to other formats), but I am not a lawyer, and neither is the author. * The source contains code for DRM5 stuff, some of which might make Microsoft unhappy (and some of which might be more useful for pirates than for legitimate users). However, none of this code gets built under linux. * There are some offensive puns throughout the source code (you can guess them from the package name). If any of these issues prevent Mandrake from wanting to distribute openclit, hopefully the PLF people will want it. (You can get a copy from the same place as the other packages I submitted to PLF earlier.)
Re: [Cooker] Contrib package: zero-inst
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Andi Payn wrote: From the package description: The Zero Install System is a URI-based network filesystem, together with a mechanism for running applications (including any necessary libraries) directly off the internet. Instead of installing an application, a zero-inst user can just start the application by its URI. Any needed binaries are downloaded and cached locally, so there's essentially no speed hit. For frequently-used applications, a user can add a menu entry, web link, bash alias, etc. that points to the URI. Note that zero-inst is still a work in progress. Since it requires a kernel patch, and the whole point is to run binaries directly from the internet, it's probably a bad idea to use zero-inst on a production system at this stage. See http://zero-install.souceforge.net for more details. I get a 404 on this site. I have serious issues with this idea, unless it is coupled with the DRM kind of stuff Linus mentioned a while back, such as signed binaries and the kernel module requiring validation of all binaries before use. The zero-inst developers are all Rox users, so the documentation is a bit focused on Rox users, but it works just fine with any KDE, GNOME, or no desktop at all. However, at present, there are only a few demo programs available for zero-inst (all in /uri/http/zero-install.sourceforge.net/demo, and all built only for ix86), so it's not terribly useful yet. The source package builds two binary packages: zero-inst and zero-inst-kernelmod. You need to have the kernel source for the kernel you want to run against to build the package, and you need to be using the matching kernel version to install the -kernelmod package. I couldn't think of a good way to check this. I put in a BuildRequires: kernel-source but that doesn't really cover it. It should, mostly. (What if you're using kernel-multimedia? kernel-multimedia-source should provide kernel-source. Danny? In 9.1 it provides alsa-source and kernel-multimedia-source. (BTW, I require kernel-source for the win4lin kernel packages I am working on, so if we're going to consider win4lin-multimedia kernel images you need to provide kernel-source so other users don't need to - --nodeps on build ...) Or if you've upgraded to a new kernel but still have the old kernel-source?) No problem if you have the modules themselves, doesn't matter which source is installed (actually, it's probably best to upgrade kernel-source and build all kernel-dependant packages before rebooting into the new kernel. And there doesn't seem to be any way to make the binary package require the kernel version used for building (another feature for automated requirements gathering?). You have to do this yourself at present, it's not difficult. The kernel module handles the virtual filesystem; updating the cache is done with user-space tools. The tool to automatically download files the first time (zero-install) is pretty much complete, but the tools for throwing away old cached files when they're unneeded (or for updating to newer versions) aren't. Also, while zero-install is downloading files, the parent process locks up with no feedback, and the tools to see what's happening are only partially complete (try the 0show command-line tool). I slapped together an init script, RPM pre/post scripts, etc. in about a half hour, and they may need more work--it seems to work fine for me; that's all I can promise. I have some example spec files, (win4lin kernel images, NVidia kernel modules, ltmodem kernel modules) if you want to see how it's done.

Fred, probably you will want to release libgtop 1.0.14 too? 2.0.2 is
released because of security problem, and 1.0.14 is the same.
Well, 1.0.14 has still not been released !!
How come... it has been tagged as 1.0.14 in CVS but no tarball uploaded
to GNOME CVS...
Anyway, I'll grab the security fix from our security updates..
Just checked, all security fixes are already in 1.0.13-4mdk...
I checked again, that particular fix is not in 1.0.13-4mdk. The fix is
applied on May 12th. Attached with this mail.

[Cooker] rescue-guessmounts: Try LVM?
Hey folks (and Guillaume), I was looking at guessmounts in the rescue system and noticed a possible enhancement: LVM support. I build my machines with root (as well as everything else but /boot) on LVM. It would be nice if guessmounts could figure this out. Ideally, it could look at the type of the partitions on the disk(s) and set up LVM if it finds an LVM typed partition. But even if guessmounts just fell back to trying to use LVM if it fails to find a root partition without LVM would suffice. When I boot an LVM based system with the rescue, I can run the following at the command prompt to get my LVM root (and other filesystems) mounted, so it should not be too difficult to put this into guessmounts: # modprobe lvm-mod # mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom # /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/vgscan # /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/vgchange -a y # mount /dev/rootvol/root /mnt/disk # mount /dev/rootvol/usr /mnt/disk/usr ...

Yeah, I agree, and I appologize to everyone. I was just super [EMAIL PROTECTED] off 2 seconds after I got the machines all back to running with phones ringing off the hook, of course I had to get to physical access on 2 of them to fix stuff. So I was very unhappy at such a feature being default, which really takes away from the Mandrake on servers experience. What a surprize which we normally don't run into. My question is this - sure it's nice to have laptop users with ifplug ( I guess) but if that's the reasoning behind it - how many more people run it on desktops?

[Cooker] why have ifplugd default? (Was super-rant,gibberish, out-of-line, spontanious - sorry ;)
Ok, now that I've taken time to collect myself and calm the fsck down. Why is ifplugd default? If it's for laptop users who switch network locations: 1. Why build the distro for laptops when more use it on desktops? 2. Who ever switches network cables and needs to have it reconfigured for them? I mean how often does someone really travel to another location with another network and not reboot and restart? 3. Most people who roam around and hotplug network would be on wireless, which takes care of that in it's own configuration (pcmcia), not ifplugd. I just don't understand who would want ifplugd? It's a dangerous thing that caused problems on machines that I would never have put a utility like that on, but I didn't know and didn't have any warning. -- Jason Straight [EMAIL PROTECTED] icq: 1796276 pgp: http://www.JeetKuneDoMaster.net/~jason/pubkey.asc

If you had configured it some way, you had an accident waiting to happen

or something don't make it a default install.
So what about laptop users? Must they know about contrib before they can
get a semi-functional network setup?
How does not having ifplug make may laptop not work? I've been running
mandrake on my laptop for years without ifplug without a problem.
So, if we start rolling out Mandrake laptops to users (we have one which
we are trialling at present), since the machines are shared, we don't
give anyone root (we could set up sudo to allow the users to restart the
network, but is this really convenient?), we have to be able to have
them network the machine without a RHCE. On the windows machines, they
can plug in a cross-over cable to their buddy from the company we are
working with, and copy files. How are they going to figure out they need
to restart the network to do this?
That's what ifplugd is for.
I mostly
use wireless though and hardly ever boot up with a working eth0 so I
didn't
notice this behaviour of ifplugd before.
Wireless is still too expensive in this country, so I haven't had a
chance to play much ...

It appears that every time the installer is fired up, and commences package instalation it errors on ldconfig-2.3.2-3mdk.i586.rpm, and according to the text screens in the installer it just returns bad package. Now the wierd thing is I can install a 9.1 install, then install that same package into the 9.1 w/o any troubles what soever. Has anyone else noticed this issue? I have delete the file twice, resync'd from sunet.se, however I cannot complete an install without this package. Thanks, -- Nelson Bartley [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Actually ifplugd turned out to be the accidednt waiting to happen. I have
rc.local setup with the sysctl since the sysctl.conf never seems to work
right on that - I think it must do that before ifup, so the devs aren't there
to configure.
On 2 of the machines they have special routing which is added by a separate
script I wrote also run from rc.local. Actual routing tables for different
networks and load balancing using iproute2 utils.

On 2 of the machines they have special routing which is added by a separate script I wrote also run from rc.local. Actual routing tables for different networks and load balancing using iproute2 utils. :( Since we have an MNF, which also restarts interfaces on occasion when you do certain things from the UI, and we have static routes, we learnt to do it the right way ... Anyway, what really needs to happen is to have config tools which can do this kind of thing for you, preferably also usable on the console. Maybe libconf will help here (the UI I have seen so far for network stuff covers quite a lot of aspects already).

On Wednesday 04 June 2003 12:15 pm, Jason Straight honored me with this communique: My question is this - sure it's nice to have laptop users with ifplug ( I guess) but if that's the reasoning behind it - how many more people run it on desktops? Let laptop users choose to turn it on - not be default. I run ifplugd on my server ... not exactly sure why at the moment. Regardless, I have never had any trouble with it. My server, which is also my primary machine, is tied to two WinXP machines on my home network. Both connect automatically to the server if it is rebooted. Just my $.02 ...
