[Cooker] Package proposal: wallpaper-dir
The attached specfile creates a dummy package which will create and own
/usr/share/wallpapers/ which is currently owned by kdebase-common (and
possibly by other packages). However, it is quite plausible that other
packages that would have no reason to require KDE, thus implying that
some type of ownership of that directory would be required.
This aims to solve that problem by abstracting the ownership of the
directory; packages putting stuff in this directory would simply require
this package and ownership is no longer a problem. This also clears the
way for a standardized location for wallpaper files, regardless of
source.
Obviously similar packagess could be made for directories where multiple
packages that have no need for dependencies or conflicts between them.

I've been getting distlint spam saying that one of my packages (which puts stuff in a subpackage of /usr/share/wallpapers) should be owning /usr/share/wallpapers... To be honest, probably the better solution is to create a package that simply creates and owns /usr/share/wallpapers (since that's in no way KDE-specific)... -- Levi Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Take due notice and govern yourselves accordingly.

If it were possible to avert this OOtB, that would be good. sudo But it also needs to be integrated with the menus IMHO. Does kdesu etc work with sudo? What I'd like to see (though I don't use any DE, so that's not strictly true) is maybe having a right-click context menu in both KDE and GNOME where one option is run with sudo; if it could be set up to only display this after checking with sudo that the program is usable, that would be even better. -- Levi Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Take due notice and govern yourselves accordingly.

I've been thinking that maybe a DrakSudo module in DrakX might be useful as well, to help get a working sudoers configuration. With a proper sudo setup, root login is truly unnecessary for a large percentage of administrative tasks.

I've just been believing what rsync tells me. ;) Looking back on my logs, the biggest syncs I've seen in the last few months have been about ~200MB; on most of those I save about ~60-70MB. So I'm saving some bandwidth on some other things somewhere--and, I am seeing some benefit on contrib which doesn't really any meta info files in it, except the synthesis.hdlist... But okay, still, say it turns out that it doesn't work for any of the RPMs, and I'm only saving badwidth on the deplist and friends--I'm still *overall* getting the speedups that I mentioned for the kind of synchronization schedule that I'm using. =) If I just ftp'd everything, that would be ~30% data I downloaded every time, whether or not it's RPM data. I guess if what you say is true, I'd get less of an [apparent?] benefit if I didn't sync as often, since the RPM data to depslist-type data ratio would be higher. Or you could just do as I do with fmirror: only download just enough metadata to allow gendistrib to work, and run that. -- Levi Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Take due notice and govern yourselves accordingly.
