There was a major change in the internal, separating the guts from the UI, and 0.65 was released. Immediately after releasing it, they discovered a bunch of loose ends, and released 0.66.

I posted it on Sunday under the title "Serious rpmdrake weirdness." My solution for now is to run rpmdrake to see what is available for upgrades, and then run urpmi from a shell to upgrade the packages. It's much faster than click-click-clicking over and over again to get what I want. My installed versions: gurpmi-4.4-16mdk rpm-4.2-12mdk rpm-build-4.2-12mdk rpmdrake-2.1-29mdk rpm-helper-0.9-1mdk rpm-python-4.2-12mdk rpmstats-0.4-1mdk rpmtools-4.5-11mdk urpmi-4.4-16mdk perl-URPM-0.92-2mdk I updated urpmi and gurpmi tonight to the versions listed above, and this behaviour is still evident.

[Cooker] Rolling out the welcome mat
I ran across this review of The Borg's latest offering: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winserver2003_sbs.asp The snippets that caught my eye were these: Like previous SBS versions, SBS 2003 includes everything a small business needs to get connected to the Internet, establish email, share files and printers, send and receive faxes, and so on. This time around, the product has been polished with better installation and deployment tools, simpler and more elegant management capabilities, and new features suggested by users, such as better backup and restore tools, and security-related functionality. [...] "With Windows Small Business Server 2003, you get access to all of the raw capabilities of Windows Server 2003, as well as SharePoint, Exchange, SQL, ISA, and Outlook," [Guy] Haycock [Technical Product Manager for the Windows Server PMG] told me. "We don't just bundle them; instead we examined what you need to do to be successful. For example, how do you get all of that technology installed without requiring 25 CDs and 17 hours of work? We've plugged in all the security best practices we've learned, and worked to help small businesses improve productivity out of the box." [...] In keeping with previous SBS versions, Windows Small Business Server 2003 builds on the core capabilities of the underlying products, adding simple management and end user tools that drop all of the technical mumbo jumbo and replace it with clear, English-language choices. SBS' biggest benefit has always been across-the-board simplicity, and this version delivers it in spades. With a little glow of vicarious pride, I noted that Mandrake ship at least two of every major app featured in SBS 2003 Premium Edition. (-: NOw, the purpose of this message: yes, it's a bad idea to have a newbie and/or complete incompetent administering a system, but given that it will happen anyway, would it not be a good idea to make sure that it happens well? What they seem to have done here is added a setup wizard and drawn out a few common tasks from their configuration tools into a nicer, simpler set of the "most wanted" configuration options. Think of the first-time wizard thingy that Mandrake throws at you when you log into a new account (via *DM) for the first time, and roll MCC and the installer into that. The simplest way of offering the same functionality on Mandrake would be to include a welcome page (and desktop icon) for root that included a clear and obvious option (icon) labelled something like "Setup Guide" which is a page in /usr/share/doc somewhere with very simple decision tree in it, perhaps something like this (only with the terms even less "jargonny"): Start Here Would you like to copy the installation media to disk? Would you like to automatically fetch software updates? Are you setting up a Server? Is it to be an Internet gateway/firewall as well? Will it masquerade/NAT for local machines? Do any local services need to be visible from Internet? [etc] ...a Web Server? ...a File Server? ...a Web Proxy? ...to host a complete Internet domain? ...to host a supercomputing cluster? ...[etc] Are you setting up a Workstation? Is it for home use? ...office use? ...to be an Internet kiosk? ...[etc] Click here to read the latest version of this document from Mandrake's web server. This Setup Guide would need to be clearly and explicitly referenced by the installer and documentation, for example: +--- | Finished installation | | If you would like simple instructions to set everything up | and get the best out of your new Mandrake system, login as | the root user and click on the Setup Guide. | The basic idea is that Joe or Jane Random Schmuck should be able, armed only with mouse and keyboard, to configure up a Mandrake machine OOTB reasonably securely to be an effective server and/or workstation. At each step, the consequences of each choice should be outlined (e.g. "If you leave this setting at the default (off), your database will be more secure but will not be accessible from other computers or even from local programs which expect to talk to the database over a network"). Is there a neat way of doing this (presumably in SGML) so that translations of it all stay in sync? Cheers; Leon

Yes, the obsoletes applies to kdebase3, but kdebase3 is provided by the kdebase package, so arts should obsolete the kdebase package. Obsoletes are applied to explicit provides and virtual provides. With current arts spec file and kdebase spec file, it's logical that arts obsoletes kdebase. PS: please post with Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :) -- Olivier Blin
[Cooker] [Bug 4354] [ifplugd] for PCMCIA cards, ifplugd terminates and pulls down network connection soon after starting
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4354 --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-01-08 02:40 --- I'm seeing the same behavior on a Dell Inspiron 8100. This problem isn't just seen when cards are plugged in during boot up. Whenever you plug in a PCMCIA card, the termination happens, as Adam pointed out, in about a minute. I can still use my network card by doing "dhclient eth1" after the termination. I'm running Mandrake 9.2 Beta 1. This, obviously, used to work with Mandrake 9.1. The following is an excerpt from my log: Jul 31 17:50:27 localhost ifplugd(eth1)[5586]: client: Determining IP information for eth1... done. Jul 31 17:50:27 localhost ifplugd(eth1)[5586]: Program executed successfully. Jul 31 17:51:24 localhost ifplugd(eth1)[5586]: Executing '/etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action eth1 down'. Jul 31 17:51:24 localhost ifplugd(eth1)[5586]: Program executed successfully. Jul 31 17:51:24 localhost ifplugd(eth1)[5586]: Exiting. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. --- Reminder: --- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: As in summary. When ifplugd is called for PCMCIA network cards during boot, it starts and begins monitoring the connection correctly. Soon - about a minute and a half after it was started - it exits, seemingly normally, and takes the network connection down with it. The user has to enter "ifup eth0" to bring it up again. I couldn't track down why ifplugd was quitting, but it seemed to be some kind of triggered event, not a simple crash. This is confirmed on two network cards on my laptop, one using orinoco_cs wireless driver and one using pcnet_cs wired driver, and by another Cooker user on his own machine.

IMHO it's not much legal to place there as default (why it doesn't use instead $HOME/.kmail?). Imagine every mail client would do the same (e.g. mozilla, etc.)? For imapd using "Mail" or "mail" would be OK, because it places only shareable (from point of view of information) "mailboxes" and not working /temporary custom indexes there.

[Cooker] urpmi (wget) instability - annoyance?
Hi, I have a dsl connection, dynamic IP, and my provider changes my address every few hours. Whenever it happens, and I use urpmi in a meantime - urpmi just freezes. Maybe it's more of wget issue than of urpmi, but it would have been nice r if urpmi checks from time to time if something is really being downloaded, and if not - restart wget, ask what to do etc. Below - the state in which wget and urpmi are for an hour or so. 32233 pts/2S 0:09 /usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/urpmi --no-verify-rpm --auto-select 32235 pts/2S 0:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/urpmi --no-verify-rpm --auto-select 32236 pts/2S 0:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/urpmi --no-verify-rpm --auto-select 32607 pts/2S 0:00 /usr/bin/wget --progress=bar:force -o - --retr-symlinks -NP /var/cache/urpmi/partial ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/MandrakeCooker/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/libbon...

I get a similar thing when installing but in my case this is due to freetype2 being in plf volume which comes after cooker. So tons postin scripts fail due to missing freetype, resulting in no fonts in GTK apps. I run my own script right after first boot to rectify this. The script is pretty old (as old as plf freetype). I guess I should check which portions of it are still needed.

Argh...
I didn't read the code... I just replied... based on my other reply..
of course it should be off by default since it's a module option ;-)
That way we won't brake any old hardware...
(wich was the original reason for my question)..

This is IMHO the right way to take care of this "problem"...
It would be a nice harddrake feature ;-)
And I now do recall reading somewhere that the multiple lun probing
extends the booting time ...
(and people are alredy complaining about slow boot...)

Mount all the ISO's, say under /mnt/mandrake/9.1/iso/{1,2,3}
In /mnt/mandrake/9.1, make a Mandrake directory, and from it, do:
ln -s ../iso/*/Mandrake/* .
This should give you a working setup, and for a network install you
would then specify the path to /mnt/mandrake/9.1/

Luca Berra ha scritto: As I said for imap using mbox:%h/ as default is a bad, as it would have Yes, the problem is that at the moment it is set-up this way, so changing it will break something. Current RPM is set to use mbox:%h/Mail/, and I wish to continue to see that setting. The migration tools should be done using some simple script ... IMHO they are quite easy/trivial to write. this is also something that can easily screw user setup, so it should be done very carefully. It also should deal with squirrel or similar and it is possible that someone changed the path on the client, so it may break things. Squirrel now uses "" as default, so it can't break anything. If users provided a mailpath, such as 'mymail' into their mail client (different than 'mail' or 'Mail'), then such path will be moved into $HOME/Mail to result $HOME/Mail/mymail: as $HOME/Mail will be invisible to mail clients. An alternative would be to not caring about "cleaning" the existing per-user .mailboxlist installation, and just only taking care about "backward" compatibility, i.e. if a /home//.mailboxlist would contain mail/myfolder1 mail/myfolder2 and the files are $HOME/mail/myfolder1 $HOME/mail/myfolder2 The migration script would have just to move $HOME/mail/myfolder1 and $HOME/mail/myfolder2 to: $HOME/Mail/mail/myfolder1 $HOME/Mail/mail/myfolder2 Existing users will still see their mails into "mail/" folders, without changing anything in their configuration, but system files of $HOME no longer will be visible/accessible. as I said if we would use the rule of using the same Mailsubdir name either in dovecot and in imapd, we wouldn't even need to move mailboxes, and also all the mail clients we have would be happy in using an empty mailsubdir path. this is the best option, i am uncertain as how it should be done. this is why i proposed to keep things as they are and start bitching users to fix them manually. The fix was made to imapd in 3mdk, but then Stew after Buchan warning about backward compatibility issues preferred to revert back with old scheme with mailbox folders in $HOME instead of $HOME/Mail. IMHO, this "compatibity" to subscribed folders should be added by the dovecot author, using some switch in conf file (someone suggests him then), as it claim to be "fully compatible" with i think it was discussed on the dovecot list, i'll check the archives If the dovecot author doesn't plan to add 5 lines of code for supporting $HOME/.mailboxlist file for some reason, then I think it's not worthwhile to waste time in trying to add such support ourself (users would have just resubscribe to their Folders). INBOX mailbox(es) could also be accessed at the same time in POP3/POP3s mode... I thought that the dovecot pop server would deal with indexes Another alternative would be also to include the "maildir" patch for uw-imapd. a patch that mark crispin does not want to accept in uw. Well, I read he said because he couldn't do better job on that task. Of course the patched version would have to be into a standalone RPM (e.g. uw-imapd-maildir). Bye. Giuseppe.

Lots of servers probably have /home mounted NFS root_squash. Having %post scripts mess around in /home is a *bad* idea.

BTW, Have you tried bincimap? no. i found dovecot because i was looking for an alternative to uw which did not force me to change the mailbox format (too many users on that system and i did not get paid for the work) btw speaking of cyrus, what about putting the dirsync patch in the kernel? That's for Juan. well, Juan what do you think about it? i have a dirsync patch running on my main mail server with no ill effect. regards, L.

I got it !! I have killed al the const& and optimized code and gcc still
generates a movaps.
// bug.cc
class Vector
{
public:
float f[4];
Vector()
{
f[0]=f[1]=f[2]=f[3]=0;
};
Vector(float a,float b,float c,float d)
{
f[0]=a; f[1]=b; f[2]=c; f[3]=d;
};
Vector operator-() const
{
return Vector(-f[0],-f[1],-f[2],-f[3]);
};
};
class Ray
{
public:
Vector o,d;
};
class Env
{
public:
Vector e,v,n,ng;
void set(const Ray& r);
};
Vector fn()
{
return Vector(0,0,0,0);
}
void Env::set(const Ray& r)
{
e = r.o;
v = -r.d;
n = fn();
ng = -n;
}
Build with
g++ -O2 -march=pentium3 -S bug.cc
and look at the code in Env::set():
...
.LC1:
.long -2147483648
.long 0
.long 0
.long 0
.text
.align 2
.p2align 4,,15
.globl _ZN3Env3setERK3Ray
.type _ZN3Env3setERK3Ray, @function
...
movss .LC1, %xmm0
...
movaps %xmm0, -56(%ebp)
It looks as, when gcc has to reuse a float -1.0, stores it from data segment
in an xmm register, and then puts that back onto stack with an aligned
sse move.
Now that I know whats going on, I have to find a solution apart from
building with -O1...finding the individual -foptmization that cuses this ?
Hope this helps.
Would you post the bug in gcc ? If so, plz add me to the CCs. If not, I will
do it.
TIA
BTW: is there any #pragma or anything similar to say "this file must be
compiled at -O1" ?

Ok, I've merged the ex-internal stuff and ex-external stuff. New version is at: http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/mdk-rpm-howto/ and sgml source is here for your perusal: http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/mdk-rpm-howto/src/ I think this can be a good version to move to wiki from. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/

We already don't provide java binaries (see changelog for 0.11.5-4mdk) because we don't want to depend on libgcj, also. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
