well, if you want to know if something has been fixed or not file a bug

Haven't had a single reply. This was a significant bug.
the first is a bug, i agree (file it on bugzilla)
the second is phrased in a way i cannot understand
for the third question remember that we have space constraints.

bccz Requires: MySQL, MySQL-client
bccz BuildRequires: MySQL, MySQL-client, MySQL-devel

I see what you mean. But this is nonsense. If postfix has a module for
mysql why should postfix depend on mysql if it doesn't affect its core
functionality. If you want to use this particular feature its obvious
that you are going to install mysql. Do you get what i mean ?
because it's not a module. If you build postfix with mysql support (or
XYZ support for that matter) postfix binaries will be linked with mysql
libraries, and they won't run if mysql libraries are not installed.
maybe we could add custom postfix builds to the contrib? the only
problem i have with this is that it makes the spec-file a mess.
bccz We are making progress, but it is slow, but it doesn't help if you
bccz complain ...
It doesn't have to be slow. And what should I do.
Post something like this:
Hi guys, you are doing a great job, you are the greatest in the whole
universe but could you please do me a little favour and put postgre
support in cyrus-sasl ? Please don't get offended if I disturbed you
in some more important work ?
no, this won't help a bit.
you should say something like.
hello i'd like if cyrus sasl was rebuilt with this patch
(http://url.of.the/damned.patch) which adds support for postgres sql.
maybe if you tried the patch before, you could also report how well it
works and the fact that it does not change existing functionality.
If you don't complain and bitch about it nothing will change, or it
will change but really slowly.
it is not necessary to bitch every time, if you bitch too much people
will start ignoring you, that's it.

True, strange that this bug was able to tunnel trough all RCs, but this once again proves that it's better to use the entire linux community as testers instead of a few beta testers, i.e. use only stock kernels. We should drop support for all hardware not in the kernel ? To give a example, my usb modem, and so we should let the newbies patch their own kernel. Yes why not. After all, they will not know how to do this, but, if they want something that simply works, they should take windows instead. This is simply not the way mandrake works. If you want a default kernel, you can take the kernel-marcelo package. If you want something with 6 month of test on a 3 years old kernel, take debian. And now imagine this : we use stock kernel as all distibution in the world, and this bug now remains undiscovered. It will be here for 3 years, fry some cd readers, but, since they do not have anything in common, all people just say that lg drive are crap. and the bug continue to fry cdrom drive for years. In fact, since nobody would expect a kernel to fry a cdrom drive, i think that no one would have fill a bug report. It may even remain undiscovered until kernel 4.2, when ide will maybe no longer supported. I have 3 dead drives, and one of them simply stop working one day ( creative dvd ). Maybe it was something like this. Maybe not. What if the patch goes in the main stream kernel, and the bug still remains undiscovered, for the same reason ? It will do more harm. But since no newbie will ever post on lkml to say 'kernel fried my cdrom drive', it will not be discovered. Or not in 1 week. Maybe one year, until one distro ship a kernel and people start complaining. So, using stock kernel wouldn't have change anything. I do not know if the error is recoverable ( ie reflashing the firmware ), but, this is clearly not a problem on mandrake side. They have done more than one month testing, and the bug passed all RC and betas. In fact, maybe someone fried his drive and think it burned because it worked too long. All i hope is that LG give updated firmware, and instruction on how to recover the disk. Mandrake is not a linux distribution known for stability, let's please take stability as top priority for Mandrake 10.0.

True, strange that this bug was able to tunnel trough all RCs, but this once again proves that it's better to use the entire linux community as testers instead of a few beta testers, i.e. use only stock kernels. OK, so you want us to ship with a totally vanilla kernel? No XFS? OSS only (no ALSA)? No software suspend? No ACLs? No cloop? No CIFS? BTW, there is a vanilla kernel in contrib. How many people actually run it? Mandrake is not a linux distribution known for stability, let's please take stability as top priority for Mandrake 10.0. My servers tell me otherwise (some machines with clients I haven't seen in over a year because they haven't ever had problems with them). They wouldn't be running Mandrake without ACLs/XFS (which is one reason they don't run Redhat BTW, it's too much work to get a real samba server running on Redhat and a few other distros which have kernels without the features I need).

Product: kdebase Version: 3.1.3-9mdk Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: kdebase AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1) do fresh install of mandrake 9.2. Select kde. 2) set the luxi sans font in the kde control center (you can skip this point but it makes the problem more apparent). 3) now fonts look very good. 4) in the kde control center, turn on subpixel hinting. The fonts become ugly: they are smudged. (just look at the e or w letters to see what I mean). They are also thinner. This ugliness also affects gnome, so I presume kde is doing something nasty to fontconfig. 5) Since I don't like it, I try to revert to the previous looks, by turning subpixel hinting off again. But the fonts remain thin and ugly. There is no way to revert to the beautiful fonts of default mandrake. This is a bug IMO. -- 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.

Usually after that the saturation needs some tweaking and probably the colors need a little correcting, and most digital cameras seem to introduce diginoise into the overly darkened areas that's visible when you brighten them.

Please change your release to be a value which rpm will consider to be
less than 1, otherwise unsuspecting users who install your package
will be stranded with your package when a real kdevelop package is
released. This is a non-trivial issue, and a similar issue is
currently causing users of Tex's KDE packages to have problems when

this to too many people.
i see. it looks like a really ugly hack, but i understand why it's
needed.
It's not really a hack. It's policy (if you care to read about it in the
Manadrake RPM Howto).
patched locally, in the next release it will be available.
Thanks.
Also, this is bad practice (yes, I know it is used by KDE spec file
templates, but that is no excuse):
find . -type d | egrep kdevelep | sed
'1,2d;s,^\.,\%attr(-\,root\,root) %dir,'
$RPM_BUILD_DIR/file.list.kdevelop
because you will own many directories which you should not own (/usr,
/usr/bin, /usr/lib, etc etc). But you can fix those yourself.
so, what is the best remedy for that?
making the file list by my own?
The file list can be made automatically, but you cannot use a simple 'find
%{buildroot} -type d |sed -e s,%{buildroot},,g to choose which
directories you own. Since there aren't that many directories, yes, paste
your directory list into the spec file and take out any directories that
should be owned by another package (ie only leave those directories which
have the package name as the last component or something like that). This
might do:
find %{buildroot} -type d |sed -e s,%{buildroot},,g|grep '%{name}$'

Re[2]: [Cooker] 9.2 Updates a total mess
LB well, if you insist i'll just state it works correctly for me. LB but if you try and give some more useful info (eg output of commands) LB we could see if it is a bug or another problem. Well this was with 9.1 haven't had the time to test it with 9.2. Anyway the situation was something like this: lvm was set on top of raid 1. / was on /dev/root/2. vgscan showed the volume active but other utilities (vgdisplay, lmdispaly) showed it inactive. I noticed this when I tried to modify lilo with raid-extra-boot= mbr-only. Lilo complained that it cannot find /dev/root/2. And indeed /dev/root/2 was nonexisting. I rerun installation and there it was (/dev/root/2). So something went wrong since in installation i could see /dev/root/2. I modified some of the init scripts but it didn't work. I didn't spend much time on this since it was just an experiment, I was truing to build a cheap software raid1 as a protection against hard drive failures but i also wanted an easy way to add extra storage.

Olivier Thauvin has a quick way to solve the problem and avoid any remark. But the problem will be hidden only. this does not solve any problem but only hide the fact that the professional printing processing is all made of proprietary softwares :-( Well, often there is so many unprofessionism in the so called professional printing processing. I often found press lab which prints using Creo 100,000 machines (for producing directly the plates) which doesn't distinguish a PostScript from a PDF file or don't know even the DPIs of their devices... IMHO the main obstable is the Pantone proprietary system. For the rest there seems also lack of knowledge. For instance have you noticed that almost none of the Canon digital camera supports non-lossy compression but only JPG? In this field some vendor uses TIFF, but I never found yet a digital camera able to save in PNG format... (but such format exists since a long time...). Bye. Giuseppe.

In bash, i don't think it is possible. Well, you could do it like autoconf
does it. In configure, it checks for sys/param.h if it defines the byte
order, if not, it uses a little c-program:
main () {
/* Are we little or big endian? From HarbisonSteele. */
union
{
long l;
char c[sizeof (long)];
} u;
u.l = 1;
exit (u.c[sizeof (long) - 1] == 1);

Re: Re[2]: [Cooker] rpm and missing gpg key gpg-pubkey-22458a98-3969e7de
bccz Because it's the key for security updates, and it should be imported for bccz you by urpmi.addmedia when you setup a security update source. Didn't know that. I have a local rsync mirror of security updates which are then available to the rest of the machines in my network. No problem. I just have to sync base dir also.

This problem must be solved to allow free software used by professional printers. But I can't imagine free inks :-( If ever you have only a shadow of a solution, tell us, please ! Probably the solution is to allow software ike GIMP to import files supplied by Pantone, Inc., which people wanting to use commercial print services would have to pay for. If you're paying for a print run of 5,000 pictures of nude politicians, the cost of the colour pallette is relatively small. Having said that, there are a lot of other things GIMP would need to compete with PhotoShop in the professional pre-print world... Some that spring to mind include * trapping, colour separation, undercolour removal, hexachrome support (this is where the printing press has 6 colours), duotone and tritone support, controls for bleed and dot gain, together with support for generating files at any given lines per inch (this is not the same as dpi, it's for screening, and control over screen angle is needed) * support for reading PhotoShop files (there's some of that already) * maybe support for PhostoShop plugins? Not sure how possible this is We'd also need something like Illustrator... sodipodi doesn't cut it... and Quark, where neither OpenOffice nor scribus is there. I think we're several years away from being able to consider Linux as a strong platform for graphic design work. In the meantime, it really isn't worth fighting a battle with people who use PhostoShop for a living, as they're not going to move to Linux.

I don't know of any way to do it bash, either. But, if you know
that Perl is installed (via other dependencies, or whatever),
you could run a little Perl script from bash to tell you which
endian is in use. E.g.,
endian=`perl -e 'if (unpack(V, pack L, 0x1234) == 0x1234) {print

[Cooker] [Bug 6207] [mailman] Why config of mailman abide in /usr ?!!
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6207 [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What|Removed |Added Status||UNCONFIRMED --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-10-23 18:31 --- That is mostly an upstream problem. Some times ago, the question could also have been: why is configuration in /var/lib ? Default mailman install use a single top-level directory install, usually in /var/lib. However, it also allows a configure option to split files between variables files, that goes in /var/lib, and non-variables files, that goes in /usr/share, wich is standard Unix setup. I recently switched the package to use the latest setup. However, configuration in mailman, as in many python software, takes the form of a python source file. msec does the same, for instance. But msec place this file in /etc, with write access for python to keep the compiled version, whereas mailman keep it in /usr/share among other python source files. Maybe just using symlink would be OK, otherwise we would have to ask the developper to allows mm_cfg.py to be in /etc instead. BTW, mailman is not the only one software to use non-standard location for configuration files. Most webapps does the same, whereas they have some sort of cross-platform compatibility excuse. KDE does also the same, and use /usr/share/config, and I never saw any actual reason for this, as it is pure Unix software... --- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-10-27 06:47 --- And one more thing - your own post-unstall script look for mmsitepass in /var!! ---8--- # rpm -Uhv ../RPMS/mailman-2.1.2-9mdk.i586.rpm Preparing...### [100%] 1:mailman### [100%] Post-install compilation...

On Mandrake Linux 9.2 RC1 our product works, but on Mandrake Linux 9.2 Release - not. How we can explain for our customers why Plesk doesn't work on Mandrake Linux 9.2? Plesk included in Mandrake Linux, therefore Plesk must work on Mandrake Linux. Ok, sorry for emotions. Please, tell me your decision - you rollback path to /var directory, or not? We must release Plesk 6.0.2, and if you not plane to change mailman2.1.2-9, we change path in ours utilities for mailman reconfigure. This is a serious problem - one of our features is not work at all. -- 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: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: # rpm -q --changelog mailman - constant files under /usr/lib/mailman, variable files under /var/lib/mailman # rpm -ql mailman | grep mm_c /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py WTF? Why config of mailman (mm_cfg.py) abide in /usr/ ? ^^ man hier says: /usr This directory is usually mounted from a separate partition. It should hold only sharable, read-only data, so that it can be mounted by various machines running Linux. I use my own script for reconfiguring mailman config. Now my script is not right - /usr may be read-only mounted, for example. As I know, all configs must be in /etc directory. PS: also I not like the next fact - in MandrakeLinux 9.2 rc1 mailman config abide in /var, but in release it shange its place - this is not good thing.
JNI apps
PPC Developers, I have a small JNI application that I have developed in MacOS X. I have ported it over to both RedHat Linux and Windows 2000, In both cases it fails when it tries the load the shared-library with the native code. I have just read in the Mac documentation that the naming convention for the shared-library is non-standard in MacOS X and this is most likely the cause of the Linux and Windows failures. This new information has reminded me that I have not even attempted to port the over to Mandrake Linux for PPC. I have assumed that Java is not yet mature enough for JNI applications? Is this a correct assumption? If not, do I have to join the CLUB in order to port my JNI app over to Mandrake? (I ain't got no money to join the CLUB!) Tomas Taylor Below is the link to the website for the Pure Java version of the application: http://web2.airmail.net/tomaste/LogicCalc/LogicCalc.html I am using bamboo for website management and deployment of Java apps. Panther has just been released!
Update Experience
Machine ... 350MHz iMac with 256 Meg of RAM. Otherwise standard excepte for external usb//parallel converter for the Laserjet printer. Very little progress until I read the instructions!! Follwed up on Stew Benedict's advice ... to NOT label the bootstrap partition as /boot! Also (after reading the instructions) decided to follow them ... installing MacOS and leaving the rest of the drive unallocated. Linux installer found and used all the newly created vacant space ... and the installer went ahead. The installer still 'barfed' on testing the video display ... but I was ready amd knew the correct entries for my iMac. Very good ... and am delighted to be 'playing' with it now. Only other 'wrinkle' was to entry a longer delay into 'post-init delay' ... as suggested elsewhere in the list. Thanks for the help people...
