Then this is a urpmi bug.

If i do urpmi mysql, it doesn't install ( or at least , it shouldn't ) 
each package with mysql, such as php-mysql.
It install mysql, and the real name is MySQL.

I always thinked that urpmi was case insensitive, and that it was a good 
thing, so, clearly,this is is a bug. It should only install 
ImageMagick. And, if more than one package match a name( such as vim ), 
it should provides a selection.

So $warn_offsite=undef; ?




regardless of local user or not. So the easyest way is to use different
mailserver for sending out and receiving in.
Why a different mail server? One needs that the mail Sent containing
a virus should be blocked, but the LAN sender should be warned that
he was sending a virus...; Indeed this should be done in a
more powerful way because generally if the Sender takes a virus
(like SoBig,BugBear, etc.), generally it would fake addresses
even if coming from LAN. So an effective way for doing this would
a double checking:


For the spoofed viruses a map can be set up to not warn at all:
Yes, but the sending user of the LAN won't know he has taken a virus...

# Treat envelope sender address as unreliable and don't send sender
# notification / bounces if name(s) of detected virus(es) match the list.
# Note that virus names are supplied by external virus scanner(s) and are

That's suppose there is a list of virus faking address, but

$viruses_that_fake_sender_re = new_RE(

I don't understand. IMHO there is no need to warn the sender if external, as the
sending address can be always forged (and maybe this also would
unveil attacker your kind of virus scanner and maybe whether it's
not updated or not able to maybe recognize a certain virus). IMHO the needing
could be to warn the sending user only if it's in the locale
address and he is sending trough the MTA. But there is no way to know
the REAL address without a MAP of mail<=>IP? suppose there are two users: "foo"
and "bar" at mydomain.com: "foo" has virus and send it trough the postfix
SMTP of "mydomain.com" as if mail was appearing "From:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>".
Now if I understand right, you are saying that amavis-new understands that
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is a FAKE address and then doesn't send any bounced "warning"
message. What I'm asking here is: "what to do if I want that <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
will receive a mail from the SMTP that he was trying to sending a VIRUS mail with
address <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

- let spam pass to users (but with X-Spam-Status) and at the same time
collect all the recognized spam to a repository for further bayes
learning.
Tis is done by default if you configure final_spam_destiny as D_PASS.
every spam mail over the sa_kill_level_deflt value will be copied to

Yes, but for viruses the Warning messages doesn't contain the

Re: [Cooker] Re: [CHRPM] kernel-2.4.21.2mdk-1-1mdk

[Sefer Tov]

Definitely same here.

Kernel 2421-2 dies with panic during boot, shortly after scanning the IDE 
devices, and the partial stack trace I get on my screen has some inode 
functions in it, which makes me believe it's either a problem in the ext2 
layer or other lower level ide layers.

All previous versions of the kernel worked just fine, so it must be a change 
done here which causes it to fail (maybe omitting the stack frame pointer 
wasn't a good idea, perhaps some processes depend on it).

Is there a way I could collect the stack trace after I hard-boot my computer 
when it panics (it happened to me on my Linux laptop)? So I could send you 
guys some more clues into this.

Thanks,
 Sefer.

Right clicking on a postscript file gives the message: 
The desktop entry file

The problem is that Actions=convertpstopdf doesn't match 
[Desktop Action convertpdftops]. 
 
Also,  
Exec=ps2pdf %f.ps %f.pdf  
should read  
Exec=ps2pdf %f %f.pdf.  
Otherwise, it's looking for a file that probably doesn't exist (e.g., 
myfile.ps.ps instead of myfile.ps). 
 
I'm also having trouble with 
/usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/compress-zip.desktop. 
The problem is that zip expects an archive name as the first 
argument, to which it then appends .zip. Giving it a url (e.g., 
'./Documents' as opposed to Documents) causes it to fail with: 
zip error: Zip file structure invalid (./.Documents) 
 
Changing  
Exec=zip -r %u %u  
to  
Exec=zip -r %u.zip %u  
solves the problem. 
 
Note: I'm using cooker SRPMs rebuilt for 9.0, but that shouldn't

2.4.21-2 and gcc3.3

select P4 as processor cause an automatic reboot
select i586 cause a kernel panic...

standard 2.4.21-2  does work fine (but I need ot recompile for ACPI
issues at least)

well I am back to my 2.4.21-16mdkcustom (old numbering way)

and the new alpha release of VMWare do compile well with gcc3.3 despite

Collecting SA mails to a bayesian system is beyond stupid, as far as I
can tell.  You go through all the computational expense of bayesian to
essentially duplicate the SpamAssassin rules..

This is fantastic news.  I will be in the market for a laptop shortly and I 
have been leaning towards Dell because there seems to be some success with

There is no dependency problem.

Use urpmi ImageMagick.

Calling it as imagemagic results in urpmi selecting all matches,
ImageMagic and abiword-plugin-imagemagick.
abiword-plugin-imagemagick would then of course require abiword and its
associated depends.

BTW, don't know what mirror you are using but current version is 
ImageMagick-5.5.4.4-8plf

Does this raise the possibility of two users simultaneously using a machine.

These incredibly fast macines have way more than enough power for many

This would be an absolutely fantastic feature to have available.  For small

The bug you replied about was a different one, where MakeCD would

I closed the Bugzilla report for it.

4057 is different, in that the ISO images are built without error, but 
either stuff is missing or the dependencies are screwed, because the

well you get this free with spamassassin
see auto_learn, auto_learn_threshold_nonspam, auto_learn_threshold_spam

But, IIRC, amavis forks a new spamassasin in the backgroung for each
message, so, this is almost the same ?
No, amavisd-new runs as a daemon and is written in perl. It loads the 
Mail::Spamassassin perl module at starttime. No external process is started 
(besides the virus scanner not speaking smtp).

well,
this is not actually true if $bypass_decode_parts is not defined it does
run external programs to extract the mime content and pass it to the
antivirus.
I believe the heavier thing is that it runs file(1) on each part to
determine the filetype, but i believe this can be easily replaced by
File::MMagic perl module (if i am able to test it successfully will
forward a patch upstream)

Is there an easy way to get this to work on 9.1 or should I try "upgrading"
from a 9.0/9.1 install using urpmi?

I'd like to try the CD install method, since that doesn't work for my laptop
with 9.1. And I don't have a floppy for my LT.

Cheers

[Cooker] pcre doesn't have UTF-8 support?

[Steve Fox]

I'm trying to build regexxer  and it's
spewing errors. Anyone know if pcre can be rebuild with UTF-8 support
for cooker please?

checking for pcre-config... /usr/bin/pcre-config
checking for libpcre >= 3.4... yes
checking PCRE_CFLAGS...
checking PCRE_LIBS... -L/usr/lib -lpcre
checking whether libpcre was compiled with UTF-8 support... no
configure: error:
*** Sorry, the PCRE library installed on your system doesn't support
*** UTF-8 encoding.  Please install a libpcre package which includes
*** support for UTF-8.  Note that if you compile libpcre from source

Using these packages:
libpcre0-4.3-2mdk

Newest driver can be used by several program at the same time.
I have xmms playing, while playing Enemy terroirory, and OSS application 
can play sound too. but arts fails to  play sound. Does arts lock the 
device in exclusive mode ?
If this is disabled, users sohould be able to use their own artsd daemon at 
the same time

Hi
When I change my keyboard layout with the Gnome Keyboard Layout Selector applet
(gkb), I can't use anymore my numeric keypad, I can't even lock or unlock the
numlock.
This happens whatever keyboard layout I choose.
If I come back to Gnome default keyboard layout, I can't still use my numeric
keypad.

e17 is as different from e16 as kde1 was from kde2, maybe even more. It would 
surprise me if you can install them next to eachother

Yes, I do work for HP on the deskjet linux team. I am the inkjet support
person for HP. Trying to do lasers too.

Anyway, also wanted to mention... Not sure if this is confidential or not
but... Word inside for HP/Compaq laptops is the majority of the platforms
will be Linux certified, but will not be preinstalled.

yes the problem is still valid..I'm using the Belgium layout. 

I will check it with xev, but what is weird: In kde the right window-key doesn't
work, while in Gnome, the left-window-key doesn't work. So I suppose it's
recieved by X11, but even if I try to assign the right-win-key in kde, it won't
show up
I haven't tried yet in Gnome.

If yes, please run "xev" (it comes with X11R6-contrib package) and tell us
what is reported for those keys; and also the keyboard map you are using.

Run xev from an xterm (otherwise you won't see the messages).

here is an exemple of what the ouput looks like when pressing the left windows
key:

KeyPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x181,
root 0x37, subw 0x0, time 84005365, (58,106), root:(64,132),
state 0x10, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffca, F13), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:  ""
 
what is interesting is the keysym sent (here, "F13").
in my case right windows sends "Multi_key" and right menu sends "Menu"

Me too [TM]

By the way, wasn't HP/COMPAQ selling some Alpha based workstations? *grin*

I know this might be silly, but well, you know Alpha port is alive and 
kicking ;)))

Back on the subject, I've already spread the good news around and people 
seem to open their eyes to Mandrake. Even thou they've been running it on 
their workstations for the past 6 months and it behaved flawlessly 
(almost:), there was still a bit of disbelief for Mandrake being pro 
enough. Now I have a killer argument in my hand ;) HP can't be wrong. 
Well, not that much.

Last 2 days have been really nice for every Mandrake enthusiast ;)

Anyway, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!

not, since you actually *work* for HP? :)

This is a good thing to have happened, especially in light of Wal-Mart

[Cooker] [Bug 4137] [initscripts] New: failure message on success of ifplugd command

   Version: 7.06-9mdk
  Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: P2
 Component: initscripts
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


There may be a bug in /etc/init.d/network, lines 144-145 :
IFPLUGD_ARGS="${IFPLUGD_ARGS=-w -b}"
action "Bringing up interface %s: " $i /sbin/ifplugd IFPLUGD_ARGS 
-i $DEVICE

ifplugd is called with -w option, which makes it return 1 on success.

>From the man :
   -w | --wait-on-fork

   When  daemonizing,  wait  until the background process finished
  with the initial link beat detection. When this is enabled,  the
  parent process will return the link status on exit. 1 means link
  beat detected, 2 stands for link beat not  detected,  everything
  else is an error.

So on success, the result of initlog -c "/sbin/ifplugd IFPLUGD_ARGS -i $DEVICE"
is 1, and a failure message is diplsayed.

I haven't found any proper way to make initlog return 0 on success of ifplugd
with -w option.

This would be a cool feature to have.

The main problem with SuSE's implementation is, once you've started a new session, 
when you're done with it and log out, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't kill it, it respawns. 
 Having that work to kill, as well as a button on KDM for those who don't know about 
CAB, would be good.

Also, with true multiuser systems, at least on 8.1, pam_console doesn't work reliably 
for sound anyway because of arts, so I've made the same change you mentioned above.  
It seems to work ok most of the time on 9.1.  There are unfortunately some security 
implications of letting the whole audio group have full access all the time.  Also, 
having multiple arts processes running is less than ideal (one is bad enough!).  Maybe 
there's some way we could get a sort of system-wide artsd that any locally logged in 
users could connect to?

Austin, actually it's intentional that I don't add it; this dependency
was not necessary. rpm already prereq'ed rpm-helper, that means
basesystem has already included it.

Actually I'd suggest flepied to remove this warning in rpmlint...

[Cooker] Fast user switching in KDE

We have discussed this feature before, and it seems it is trivial to get
this to work, since kdm seems to support it if the xdm config files are
right.

Credit for finding this goes to Texstar, who posted it here:
http://pclinuxonline.com/modules.php?mop=modload&name=Forums&file=viewtopic&topic=1691&forum=18

Here is the detail, taken from the post and some replies:

(this works for me, KDE does not complain any more, but my cooker box
has no speakers, so I am not sure if sound actually works)

So, what are the consequences of doing this (besides losing a VT to
something else?). Would it be possible to have at least one reserve
server set up by default? It might be an idea to have XFdrake or drakdm
or whatever handle this, and be able to adjust the number of reserves,
otherwise if it's not an issue, why not ship with about 4 working reserves?

If a new X server is started up, and not used in a minute or so, kdm
closes it down.

BTW, AFAIK SuSE ships with the "new session" working, and I think adds
all users to audio group by default (among others) and allows audio
group to write to sound devices.

The Bugzilla web pages could use some work.

This is poor.  The title should identify the page to the user, for use

 "MandrakeSoft Bugzilla Main Page"

This problem is common to many pages on the site.

I don't have much time to look at all of this, so if you can get
something together it would help. Something like that can be added quite
easily late in the dev cycle, but we can't wait much longer to switch to
openldap-2.1.x and dumping sasl2, so I will spend what time I have on
getting postfix to auth to openldap via sasl2 ... until it works.
Buchan,

  Just wanted to let you know I believe I'm making progress with the 
postfix, saslauthd, pam, openldap stuff.

  I spent all day yesterday tracking down auth errors, rebuilding and 
installing rpms, and as of this morning actually have postfix auth'ing 
against saslauthd using pam for system users. I wanted to take 
everything one step at a time, and figured that postfix -> saslauthd was 
the best place to start. (Although installed, I don't have the openldap, 
pam_ldap stuff configured yet.)

  The problem is, now I need to be able to reproduce. As I was trying 
to isolate issues as I encountered them, I didn't write anything down 
:'( ...  I won't have much time to work on this until the end of next 
week (will be out of town) but wanted to provide you with as much 
help/hints as I can.  My goal is to do another rebuild (starting with 
base mdk91), and document what needs to happen to bring all the pieces 
together (step-by-step).

  (As I recall) I started with db41, then rebuilt your openldap srpm, 
and installed. Then I had to install openssl 0.9.7b, and all the other 
deps required to rebuild postfix. After rebuilding postfix, configured 
and Hmmm, it's working. (Geez, sounds so simple when I put it like that, 
but it wasn't...) 

  Note: I needed to take postfix out of chroot (master.cf):
   smtpinetn   -   n   -   -   smtpd
  I saw where there were some work-arounds for this but they weren't 
pretty, and had issues of there own.

  My next step is to configure openldap, get that into pam, so 
saslauthd will use. If all goes well there, postfix, cyrus-imap (and 
others?) should be able to authenticate system & ldap users (with no 
difference). I think we are getting very close!

  The rpms I currently have installed (mdk9.1 based) include:
# rpm -qa '*postfix*'
postfix-2.0.12-3mdk
# rpm -qa '*sasl*'
libsasl2-plug-login-2.1.13-2mdk
libsasl2-2.1.13-2mdk
libsasl2-devel-2.1.13-2mdk
libsasl2-plug-plain-2.1.13-2mdk
cyrus-sasl-2.1.12-1mdk
libsasl7-1.5.28-5mdk
# rpm -qa '*ldap*'
nss_ldap-204-1.1mdk
openldap-servers-2.1.22-1mdk
openldap-2.1.22-1mdk
openldap-clients-2.1.22-1mdk
libldap2-devel-2.1.22-1mdk
php-ldap-4.3.0-3mdk
libldap2-2.1.22-1mdk
openldap-migration-2.1.22-1mdk
# rpm -qa '*ssl*'

libopenssl0-0.9.6i-1.1mdk
openssl-0.9.7b-2mdk
libopenssl0.9.7-0.9.7b-2mdk
  Hope all this helps! - I'm just excited to finally be able to auth 
with postfix. (Trying to walk before I run.)

isdn4linux scripts will allways be bloated once you have the most common 
options running. Its a common flaw of isdn4linux. Once you beginn with a 
small script and you add this and that, you will have in the and again a 
bloated script or you do not support the most common uses of isdn4linux. 
Further it is a pain to support isdn under mandrake if you first have to 
determine which version the people have running. (I mean support on 
mandrakeexpert here)

Beside that drakconnect and isdn4net should work without problems.

 I could try to figure out wich cards should work with isdn4net and 
drakconnect, faster I could make a list of supported cards of isdn4net alone. 
Am I right that all modules that van be found in ldetect-lst with "ISDN:*" 
should be known to isdn4net to support all cards ? 

 If there were cards that worked with isdn-light and not with isdn4net i would 
like to know about it, so i can support it with isdn4net. For me isdn4net 
worked allways better then isdn-light. Further I have added an option to fast 
add unsupported cards. 

As you know the scripts I guess you understand the following. 

'ippp*')
echo "Loading driver defined in modules.conf ..."
/sbin/modprobe -v $I4L_MODULE >/dev/null
if test $? -ne 0; then
  cleanup
fi
;;

A driver ippp0 can be added with an alias to the correct driver in 
modules.conf. 

> If it works as good as it worked with isdn-light, I'll do the modifications

Again if there were known problems with isdn4net that i do not know about i 
would love to hear about it, so i can fix it. I would say it works as good as 
isdn-light. I haven't heard the opposite. 

I will send the src.rpm to you per PM

No, amavisd-new runs as a daemon and is written in perl. It loads the

Martin
I've currently packaged that here:

http://peoples.mandrakesoft.com/~ghibo/amavisd-new-0.20030616-1mdk.src.rpm



looks nice. I will it test tomorrow.


But, before posting to contrib, I'm currently trying to find how to modify
amavisd.conf so that:
- local "recipient" users is warned about receiving virus mail (with virus
ID) - sender is warned about sending a mail with virus, but only if sender
is relaying from LAN (it's a nonsense to warn non-local sender because
99.9% in case of virus, the sender is fake).


There is a flag called warnvirusrecip. But this will warn all recipients 
That's bad, because remote user shouldn't be warned because
generally address are FAKE, so you'll send the mail
to the wrong person, or you'll have the queue full
of non deliverable mails. Plain amavis-0.3.12 (in contrib)
can do this, simply placing the localdomain into
/etc/amavis-localdomains.conf.
regardless of local user or not. So the easyest way is to use different 
mailserver for sending out and receiving in.
Why a different mail server? One needs that the mail Sent containing
a virus should be blocked, but the LAN sender should be warned that
he was sending a virus...; Indeed this should be done in a
more powerful way because generally if the Sender takes a virus
(like SoBig,BugBear, etc.), generally it would fake addresses
even if coming from LAN. So an effective way for doing this would
a double checking:
a) Send Warning Mail to Sender address only if the address is in the
local domain (at most this will warn wrong user but not to wrong domain)
b) Have a MAP between client IP addresses and client mail, so to
warn the right user.
Maybe this could be a feature request for Amavis-new authors...



- let spam pass to users (but with X-Spam-Status) and at the same time
collect all the recognized spam to a repository for further bayes learning.


Tis is done by default if you configure final_spam_destiny as D_PASS. every 
spam mail over the sa_kill_level_deflt value will be copied to 
/var/spool/amavisd/viruses
Yes, but for viruses the Warning messages doesn't contain the
ID of the file, like it happens in amavis-0.3.12.
Bye.

[Cooker] TOSHIBA Laptop Keyboards

[Linux]

Hi all,

Sorry if I use this list not as it's planned, but I'm not a developper,
just a simple user.
I would like to higlight a problem I have with my Mandrake 9.1 installed
on a brand new TOSHIBA laptop, (Satellite 2410-514).
Everything if fine except my keyboard under KDE, wich do double letters.
KDE control panel or kbdrate did not correct the problem.
Gnome keyboard control panel did, because you have mor parameter and the
double letter delay can be reduced below 100ms (not with KDE)

The only solution I found is to use a suZe program called xbounce, wich
worked perfectly-no more problems. Unfortunately this soft is not free.
Do you think it could be possible to correct the specific TOSHIBA
problem in the 9.2 ??

Thanks a lot for your job.

This would be a significant change.  I don't know that I can implement 
that now.  I did put the "View" on the first screen now also. There really 
isn't anything setup atm to do an "on the fly" backup.

Doesn't even really apply to tape.  In all regards, this number isn't evne 
utilized.  I'm trying to do something now at least to honor it on HD, as 
well as set a sane default for a given system.  Part of drakbackup's 
problems is it tried to be too much, too soon.  A lot of features were 
partially implemented in the GUI, with no backend support.  I inherited it 
from the previous developer and I'm trying to bring it up to snuff.

Well you can change directories.  Incremental or differential backups

Yes, in reality feature additions aren't part of the spec at all for 9.2

[Cooker] KOffice -- no MS-Word import filter

Hello,

Since switching to the KOffice 1.3 beta series (currently 
koffice-1.3-0.beta2.1mdk) I have no MS-Word import filter -- shouldn't this 
be there?  It used to work in 1.2, and looking around the KOffice web sites I 
don't see any sign that it has been removed, or any bug reports from people

[Cooker] USB CD burner, load sg module on hotplug?

[Adam Williamson]

Just a minor request...I've been using my Dad's USB2 CD-RW, a Philips
Jackrabbit, and was rather impressed that it worked just fine in
Mandrake. However, at first it didn't, and it took me quite a lot of
Google digging to find out (from an old Mandrake list post, as it
happens) that you have to do "modprobe sg" before the CD writing apps
will find the drive. Would it be possible to load this module for USB CD
writers when they're plugged in? if that's done, they should work
perfectly transparently - just plug in, run a CD burning app and go.
This is the lsusb output for this particular drive:

Hopefully, this kind of positioning and visibility will translate into a
steady source of income for the distro. It does seem to indicate that
desktop Linux is a viable product. The desktop-user-oriented features that
are so hotly discussed on Cooker should continue to be discussed (though
maybe a bit less hotly?). Obviously no distro has ironed everything out, but
by "actively thinking" I think that Mandrake can arrive there sooner.
Mandrake has done a great job with the desktop & usability.

I would also like to see Mandrake advance their server offerings (like 
the ongoing mail server discussions).

I'm not strictly talking about urpmi... all I've urpmi'd lately is urpmi
and it's dependencies.  Basically, I judge whether or not to even
attempt an upgrade by the dependency errors found by gendistrib, which
may or may not have anything to do with errors returned by urpmi.

Ok :) I wrote isdn-light because I found isdn3net was bloated (at the time),
and I needed a simple package that works similary to an ethernet interface, and
also a simple way to handle firmware loading in the isdn cards. But if you have
taken over the development of isdn4net, isdn-light can be dropped, now that
cooker has you :)

besides these modifications, are the mdk isdn4net script correct? do they work
with drakconnect correctly? Is there a list of supported isdn cards by
drakconnect+isdn4net ?

If it works as good as it worked with isdn-light, I'll do the modifications

indeed. Sometimes I don't know if the backup setup is right, or if the
backup as been correctly done. Of course there's the mail, but I send
the mail to someone else and I don't check if the mails are right and if
the backup is done. And I don't knwo if I can put a CC, or a second user
in the To field.
In order not to clutter to much the UI, you can make the following
entries :

Restore

That's true concerning the units as we don't know the unit. On top of
that there's a bug in backup size. I used to backup on a 20/40 GB tape.
The pb is that I can't specify the right size and it default to old
size. So I just hope that it will be able to backup up everything.

Concerning /var space consuming, what about make one tar.gz and copy it,
delete it, and so on ? Or give the ability to specify a different
directory ?

There is a flag called warnvirusrecip. But this will warn all recipients 
regardless of local user or not. So the easyest way is to use different 
mailserver for sending out and receiving in.

Tis is done by default if you configure final_spam_destiny as D_PASS. every 
spam mail over the sa_kill_level_deflt value will be copied to 
/var/spool/amavisd/viruses

[Cooker] Mandrake pre-installed on HP desktops

[John Keller]

Since there was a thread recently about Mandrake seeming a quiet in the face
of SUSE's announcements, I thought it interesting to find this article on
The Register:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/51/31547.html

Hopefully, this kind of positioning and visibility will translate into a
steady source of income for the distro. It does seem to indicate that
desktop Linux is a viable product. The desktop-user-oriented features that
are so hotly discussed on Cooker should continue to be discussed (though
maybe a bit less hotly?). Obviously no distro has ironed everything out, but
by "actively thinking" I think that Mandrake can arrive there sooner.

afaik it was written by mandrake employees only. I'm sure if 10 cooker people
are writing 5 lines each, on a particular topic, plus 5 people to do some
translation, it could be much less time consuming.

My request here is not to overload the mdk employees, but to set up a cooker
traffic, written by and for cooker users

that said, I don't know if it' feasable

Basically I would have liked to not be obliged to go "itching"
information. Important packages uploads, important mandrake
software milestones, were the info put in MCWN and if
responsible for them would have sent me the information (as I had
requested) it would have been a far easier and more pleasant job.

No, amavisd-new runs as a daemon and is written in perl. It loads the

Hi Dams (Damian ?)


I mailed with damien chaumette a while ago about isdn4net/isdn-light. As isdn 
is not the best maintained thing we agreed that to packages for isdn 
configuration are overkill. I have taken over the development of isdn4net a 
while ago and as isdn-light can not take care of all options of isdn we 
decided that isdn4net should be the only package. Thats the history. 

I have made a mainly bugfix release of isdn4net :

- integrating the patches from the rpm
- deleted timru options as it is obsolete
- added an option for configuring dialmode of the slave and set it default to 
auto, since ibod will not work otherwise and dialmode auto is recommended for 
the slave by isdn-faq
- added isdn link add/remove  for easier setup of multiple isp's 
- isdn link list will now list only active connections instead of all profiles 
in /etc/isdn/profile/link/
- reactivated isdnlog in the rpm
- added two additional driver as known driver to the startup script 
(capi4linux and hisax_fcpcipnp)

I have a ready src-rpm for it i can send you. The next plans are to make a 
manpage for isdn4net and make a web-page ready and release the new version on 
the project page. The new location for isdn4net is http://isdn4net.berlios.de 
. I mailed this URL allready to Stein Vrale, so he will add this information 
to his isdn4net site . 

The next issue I have is that drakconnect/DrakX should have better defaults. 
Currently the default is to have ONBOOT=no for configured connections 
(/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ippp0) and to have 
ifup=ippp0 
isdnctrl dial ippp0
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net_cnx_up. 
A better way would be to have as default for a configured connection 
ONBOOT=yes. This way the pseudo-network-device is up and running on 
startup.(net_cnx_up should have then only isdnctrl dial ippp0 ofcourse ) The 
dial up is a bit faster and it is more compatible with tools for dial up. The 
common solution/workaround till now was to put a /sbin/ifup ippp0 in the 
rc.local script (see http://mandrakeuser.org). 

I know a bit longish mail, but i wanted to summarize it a bit :)

I put too a CC to cooker in, hope you don't mind

The thing is.. they aren't TOTALLY broken.  Most of that "brokenness" can be 
fixed with a one-time force-upgrade.  That one-time is sort of a 
"bite-the-bullet" upgrade, because it's a move to a new dependency system.  
Once it is done, the dependencies, with a few exceptions, then resolve 
themselves with new versions, because it is again set up in a self-consistent 
manner.

In regard to perl in particular, I'm not sure that an initial force upgrade 
from what was to the new dependencies system will ever not be necessary.  
However, once it's done, as I said, the system is again set up for self 
consistency again.  The new system was described at implementation as a bit 
of serious pain one time, but resolving a low but constant pain with a better 
approach.  That seems to be indeed what happened, as once I forced the single 
mail perl package, everything else fell into place without issue, because the 
new package had the provides straight that were handled differently in the 
old system with resulting conflicts when you tried to move from one to the 
other.  Once the key package was upgraded, the other conflicts resolved 
themselves, as those on the group said they would.

There are a few other temporary conflicts, but they tend to be temporary and 
fairly minor.  These I can see waiting on, but the perl system conflicts.. 
you might be waiting in vain due to the dependencies system change requiring 
a single forced upgrade. to resolve the issue during the switch.

I think important package changes might be worth a mention, but also
summary of some big threads may be worthwhile, and if the news is placed
somewhere comments are posible (like MandrakeClub), then it would be
easy to get feedback from non-cooker users.

IMHO, if people will contribute, and the person responsible only needs
to collate and spellcheck, it can be done with less work. Doing it via
MandrakeClub may also provide an easy way for translations to be done,
after which they could be mailed out (but someone like Reinout will know
more about that).

Warly and me, actually. FYI I stopped because of the too little
positive feedback received (that's also what builds up
motivation), and too little spontaneous information received from
other developers on what important things they did in the past
week.

Hum, no, cooker traffic would be a little bit different I think.
Like Todd did once, or like kernel traffic can be. Sticking to
talking about important threads of discussion, rather than
announcing new features and important packages changes.

It has been tried by GC some time ago (Cooker Weekly News) but it is very
time consuming..

[Cooker] cooker traffic

[dams]

Proposal : what about setting up a cooker traffic? like kernel traffic? It
would be imho very interesting to summarize decisions, important changes, and
so on.

We could also add a status sections, which tells if cooker is installable, mkcd
is working, urpmi is working, ...

It would be also usefull for the guys going in vacations and coming back with
1000 cooker mails to read.

The bad news is that I personnally don't have enough time to handle this :/ We
should find 1 or 2 people responsible of it, and some people per sections of
this mailing.

well, ideas and volunteers welcomed...

I agree. At present the only packages that you should have forced are
the gcc-3.3 related packages if you had OpenOffice.org installed.

BTW, my machine is mostly up-to-date with the local mirror, by running
my update script from cron, which you can find somewhere on my site
(http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake).

I don't agree. rpm has found a lot of perl packages that were in contrib
and used by some other package that is in main.

The regex is bad, and needs to be fixed, but there really aren't that
many packages that have non-existent perl requires. It is worthwhile
filing bugs on these packages so we know which ones need to be rebuilt
when the find-requires is updated (unless someone can show how to do it
with urpm?).

I will miss this year's by a good couple of weeks, but I should be able
to make next year's ... if we can plan far ahead enough (a month or 3).

FWIW, everything past the storyID number in the URL is extraneous, so it can 
be omitted for a shorter link:

Interesting "Linux Newbie from MS" story.  Short and sweet.  Not to heavy on 
detail, but makes the point that Linux (Mandrake) is worth a second look, 
both because it's free to try, and because of all the free apps that come 
with it.  It'd be interesting to see what he thinks 30, 90, and 180 days in.  
Will he take to it easily, or reject it at some point as the novelty wears 
off and he goes back to what is familiar and therefore easy for him?  Will 
he, as I did by 90 days, find Windows is now the one he feels limited in?

He did make the point that it's nice to have a "Linux missionary" lighting the 
way for first install, and that if you are on MS and don't know what Defrag 
is, Linux may not be for you.  I'd add that in that case, neither is 
MSWormOS, really, as you could be SOL if something goes wrong pretty easily 
on either, unless you are just a user and someone else is doing the admin, in 
which case it doesn't make much difference as you can be a simple user on 
either with little difference in difficulty, at that level.  I'd also add 
that if you are installing MSWormOS and trying to make IT dual boot, you will 
need an even BETTER missionary helping you with it.  The only way MSWormOS is 
easier to install any more is if you don't HAVE to, which as luck would have 
it is the case in the majority of instances, but that's beginning to change, 
slowly, as Linux machines are available off the shelf, now, in a significant 
number of stores, at least, meaning we've already come a long way in that 
regard.

What gets me is the prediction (not in the article, but since the topic is 
going this way) that Linux will surpass Mac this year or early next.  That's 
a pretty big step, right there, if you think about it.
