Re: [Cooker] kernel 2.4.21-0.13 has no APM?
I'm hoping I missed something, but the apm-tools (apmd) tell me the 9.1 distro kernel does not include APM support -- is this correct? no. If so, does it mean I _must_ build a custom kernel for a laptop? it depends. For a start you may try to boot with acpi=off. -andrey
[Cooker] For 9.2 - automatic update notification
found on a.o.l.m. Should not be as hard to implement - basically amounts to urpmi.update + check if urpmi --auto-select returns anything + special check for new kernel. This all could definitely be packed in one perl script == Is there a way to get Mandrake Update to automatically check for updates and then display a notification or send a mail/message to tell me. It gets a bit boring running M.U. only to find nothing there ;-) The RedHat notification tool is a perfect example but I haven't seen anything similar for MDrake
Re: [Cooker] [BUG?] gcc-3.3.1-0.2mdk breaks kernel
Hi, More info: 2.4.22-pre5 hangs the same, but it works compiled just at -O1 optimization level. So it all smells to a bug in current gcc optmizer, -O2 breaks and -O1 works. Try to build with -fno-vrp and/or -fno-strict-aliasing. Bye, Gwenole.

IMHO these access controll restrictions are causing more trouble (friction) than they do good. What we need is clear reporting on what has been going on (auditability) and let people make the changes that are needed. Nobody benefits from these requests being echoed in lists (first cooker, now maintainers) untill some demi-god finally has the time to pick it up and execute the change. We are not 4-year-olds anymore. Nobody that has access to these systems is here to break things. In principle everything everybody does on these systems is meant in a positive way. For that matter the separation between main and contrib is completely arbitrary and not useful anymore. The only place the separation has any effect is on security updates. And that is easily handled by just saying that only packages shipped on the CDs are supported for security updates. But then as far as I'm concerned there should also be a way for contributors to update their packages for security issues (and no the club is not a solution to that). IMNSHO: - Separation between contrib and main is good. It provides a clear way to separate packages by quality, usability and usefulness. - Restrictions in uploading/moving packages. Most of the troubles you are talking about are my fault, not being able to handle requests in time. However, rpmctl should be my answer to this problem, it is currently only in beta version but already allow packages removal from the contributors, next step will be to do the upload part. But, I do still have the weakness to think that in some way some kind of centralized power is good. I agree that the contributors are not children and do not want in any way anyhting but the good of the distro. However at some point someone must have a overview of the distro and be in charge of maintaining the whole thing in the good direction. -- Warly

The constraint itself is still there and pretty much obvious to see for anybody. Even if the behaviour was as Havoc thought it was, ie windows should be allowed to go off the top screen until the lower end of the window is visible, it's still takes away the option to move windows wherever the user wants. One of the people requesting a patch just wanted to place two xterms on top of each other. They almost fit the screen but for the titlebar of the upper xterm. In that case metacity would prevent moving the window off the top because the window is already completely on screen. Anyway, in my experience metacity prevented going off top regardless of how big the window was. Sorry to bother you with speeches. I know I should post this to the metacity folks. It's just that I still get mad at that feature. PS: please, don't cc people when responding on list.. I didn't cc, it was an error (wrong button), sorry for this Mark

[Cooker] glibc not building on alpha bug in rpm -qpR
Glibc is holding back quite some builds on the alpha. What do you make
of the errors in this buildoutput?
http://eijk.homelinux.org/build/cooker/alpha/glibc-2.3.2-5mdk
I don't have a comparison on i586.
rpm -qpR glibc-2.3.2-5mdk.src.rpm doesn't include gd-devel, while at
build time it is required. That's why:
http://eijk.homelinux.org/build/cooker/i586/glibc-2.3.2-5mdk
I guess some bug in the mechanism to get the BuildRequires out of a
package with rpm -qpR. Where is gd-devel?:
$ rpm -qpR /mirrors/cooker/SRPMS/glibc-2.3.2-5mdk.src.rpm | sort
binutils = 2.13.90.0.18-2mdk
gcc = 2.96-0.50mdk
gettext
patch
perl
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) = 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) = 3.0.3-1

Re: [Cooker] glibc not building on alpha bug in rpm -qpR
Le Mardi 15 Juillet 2003 13:36, Stefan van der Eijk a écrit :
Glibc is holding back quite some builds on the alpha. What do you make
of the errors in this buildoutput?
I have another error on ppc, it seems memusage during %install stage.
Else all other things works fine.
http://eijk.homelinux.org/build/cooker/alpha/glibc-2.3.2-5mdk
I don't have a comparison on i586.
rpm -qpR glibc-2.3.2-5mdk.src.rpm doesn't include gd-devel, while at
build time it is required. That's why:
http://eijk.homelinux.org/build/cooker/i586/glibc-2.3.2-5mdk
I guess some bug in the mechanism to get the BuildRequires out of a
package with rpm -qpR. Where is gd-devel?:
$ rpm -qpR /mirrors/cooker/SRPMS/glibc-2.3.2-5mdk.src.rpm | sort
binutils = 2.13.90.0.18-2mdk
gcc = 2.96-0.50mdk
gettext
patch
perl
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) = 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) = 3.0.3-1

But there in glibc.spec:

If you are running 9.1, check first with another list (expert, a.o.l.m etc), and then file a bug for 9.1 (there is no official procedure for this though ... I think the current method is to abuse mandrakeexpert for this). If you are absolutely sure (ie it's a config file, and you have checked Mandrake's latest package in cvs) it's still applicable in cooker, then file a bug in bugzilla. For the kernel, and only the kernel, it may be valid to run the current cooker kernel (kernel-2.4.21.3mdk-1-1mdk) on 9.1, but you better be sure of your stuff if you do things this way. If it's any other package, rebuild it on your stable release, send any changes required to the maintainer, and hope he's interested in having the packages build on older releases (it is quite a bit of work).

Subject: [cooker.list.admin] Subject: [cooker.kde] If you see someone has already 'tagged' an issue, you don't bother, so we don't get long lists of this belongs elsewhere messages. Using their normal email filtering, people interested in those taxonomy terms would immediately see the empty followup, so all they have to do is fetch the messages above that point in the thread. of course, this would be _much_ easier if the cooker was a newsgroup :) w I think that the bugs comments are part of the general w discussion on the developement, and should be considered as w equivalent to cooker thread.
