Any chance to make it for 8.2?
Re: [Cooker] Mandrake Debian?

If you look at the way Mandrake is going with things like urpmi and the recent adoption of the Debian menu system, it looks like the Mandrake developers like the ideas of Debian and are working to mimick them. I do *not* deny we're copying things from debian (and not only from debian, taking the good things always has been the job of making a distribution :) *but* i'd like to comment on this urpmi is mimicking apt, which is somewhat true, but not completly: when urpmi started (in april 1999), apt was not well-known nor configured by default on debian. urpmi was aimed at stable cdrom release. It took some time to Francois to move on to the new urpmi we now have, because the choices I made were somewhat wrong for what people expect from urpmi (the depslist being very inflexible/costly, and the hdlist's are big causing costly urpmi database updates) History also says that: - URPMI meant User RPM Install (for a long time, urpmi was setuid and allowed a normal user to install packages _from a non-modifiable location_) - it was meant to be used by autoirpm. Alas autoirpm is kind of dead, not being a valid solution in nowadays world with big drives and many security concerns. So then why don't you just throw urpmi out of the window and help connectiva with apt-rpm? I found it to work perfectly with Mandrake (if I generate the package lists myself). Alkis
Re: [Cooker] dhcp-client segfaults
Hmm, Weird, but I didn't have dhcpcd installed (but /sbin/dhcpcd was there, albeit broken). After installing and removing dhcpcd-1.3.22pl1-3mdk everything is back to normal (only dhcp-client-3.0-1rc6.2mdk is installed). Thanks, Alkis P.S.: Which one is better BTW, dhclient or dhcpcd?

[Cooker] dhcp-client segfaults
Hi, Latest dhcpcd segfaults (cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/dhcp-client-3.0-1rc6.2mdk.i586.rpm). When I tried to run it through gdb, it complains that the executable is truncated. I wonder why noone reported ithis before (noone uses dhcp, I guess :-) ) Alkis

[Cooker] Contributing to cooker
Hi all, I am wondering what is the proper procedure to follow in order to contribute to cooker. I have read the mdk-rpm-howto and the http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/cookerdevel.php3 page. There are conflicting instructions between the webpage and the howto. To be more specific: - The web page says that a person that wants to contribute *must* have a @mandrakesoft.com email address and send his gpg key to mandrake prior to uploading the packages. - The howto says that simply uploading to ftp://ftp.linux-mandrake.com/incoming and emailing Lenny is enough (This is proven to be incorrect since I have uploaded STLPort a week ago and it neither got in contribs, nor I have received a response from anyone). Can someone point out the correct procedure please? Thanks, Alkis

Hey there,
It seems that the package listing files for apt-get haven't been updated
lately (e.g. base/pkglist.cooker has last been modified on dec 24th).
Thus, most descriptions are outdated, and apt-get install xyz won't
find the packages on the server.
BTW: Is there a possibility to add those package listings to the script
that builds the hdlists etc. ?
And: Can the RPMs in the contrib directory also be somehow indexed for
apt-get?
thanks greetings gust
[Cooker] vnc-server
Weird, [root@pig root]# apt-get install vnc-server Processing File Dependencies... Done Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: vnc-server: Depends: / but it is not installable Depends: is but it is not installable Depends: not but it is not installable Depends: owned but it is not installable Depends: by but it is not installable Depends: any but it is not installable Depends: package but it is not installable Depends: in/ but it is not installable Depends: in/perl but it is not installable Sorry, broken packages I thought this was fixed long ago. I checked the spec file but there is nothing obviously wrong (of course I am a newbie in terms of rpm packaging :-) ). Any ideas on what is wrong here? Thanks, Alkis

You can fix this with limits, i.e. not letting any user to fill all
the RAM memory of your machine. If you are administering a machine
that can have hostile users and you are not using resources limits,
your systems is misconfigured.

Problem is people can select another shell. You also have to set it
for the other shells.
This is also a nice solution.
