[Cooker] python -- test_sax failed

2002-11-26 Thread RA

Recent cooker package (python-2.2.2-2mdk), built on 9.0, gave (with make 
test):

177 tests OK.
1 test failed:
test_sax

I wonder, if this is also the case for building on cooker?

The attached patch file removes the failed tests in test_sax.
Remarkably, these tests are also removed in CVS head of python.

[Cooker] python 2.2.2 ?

2002-11-15 Thread RA
Hi!

The python release 2.2.2 is out since about a month. Please update it!
I took 2.2.1-13mdk spec file (a while ago), the only small change was
(besides update to python and html-2.2.2.tar.bz2), that you have to
remove from python-2.2-base.list the line:
%{_libdir}/python2.2/lib-dynload/errnomodule.so
because it's now statically linked by default.
I haven't yet tried the new patches (-mdk14/15), admittedly.

Ralf.

Perhaps I'm thin-skinned. But sometimes I believe that only a few people 
got answers to their emails. And I'm one of these guys making noise in your 
ml.
From my point of view this holds true not only for such questions as above, 
but generally.
I posted some bugs during the beta/rc period of 8.2. Regarding those bugs 
which I was the only one who committed - okay, not many, perhaps only one or 
two - I got no response at all. I had to wait for a new package each day, 
looking changelogs, when it was changed. I often saw better examples of 
reactions of package maintainers/developers. 
Don't understand me wrong. It could be that I'm greatly thin-skinned and 
frustrated. And probably my bug reports and RPM packages are bad. But I think 
that my criticism described a real trend.

This name scheme was chosen this way that you're able to install different

 I have posted this before, but Juan has applied the patch (which I
 posted a while back) to the update kernel. Could you test with this
 kernel and see if it fixes your problem:

 http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~quintela/update/

 Also, testing the newer samba package is also worthwhile.

 If someone can confirm that the kernel fixes the problem, then there is
 at least some reason to put the updated kernel in (although it is
 probably too late).

Confirmed! smbmount //server/share mountdir -o codepage=iso8859-1
 ls mountdir now works without segfault of ls or kernel oops.

Hope, you can push that kernel version into final release.


 And since there are only a few people that can reproduce the problem,
 one of those people must test it. If I could reproduce it, I would have
 tested it by now ...

 Buchan.

Once again. I hope, you will tell me if you reproduce this or not!

$ service snortd stop

$ rpm -q snort
snort-1.8.3-2mdk
$ ls /var/run/snort*
/var/run/snort_eth0.pid
$

I used snortd from RPM. I can't use original snort.conf, because rpm did not 
touch my version - that's good, but no .rpmnew - %config(noreplace), again ?

BTW: If one wants to install snort-mysql (or another db), you can read this 
in README.database: % mysql  ./contrib/create_mysql
But you will not find this damn script on your computer. Please include it in 
snort-mysql.

 I played around with it a little more.

 The distorted background happens Only if you are using kdm.
 It Does Not happen if you are using gdm.
 Repeat..it Does not happen if you use gdm.

 To me this says that the problem Is Not dri with the r128 but with kdm.

 I have a feeling that even if dri is disabled the kdm login screen as
 current still will not display properly with the r128.



 Charles

For me kdm displays properly if I disable glx/dri.
And I have stability issues with enabled glx/dri, X freezes sometimes, 
probably when the load is somewhat higher (can't reproduce).

I hope that the r128 issues will be fixed before release. Otherwise Mdk 
should disable glx/dri. If so, it would be nice, if users could find a note.

 having any problem with dri. Glxgears runs at around 500fbs, I can play

 Of note could be that I am running without fb.

Now running a custom kernel build from 2.4.17-18mdk _without_ CONFIG_FB_VESA

The above mentioned kdm problem still exists, but sometimes the background is

 my mistake, I was thinking about the snort lock file in

 It is impossible. You need kernel in at least 'make dep' stage to be

 much worse tham current situation (i.e. it will hurt much larger number
 of users who try installing third-party modules).

Ok, but if you read about kernel compilations, they told you always:
make dep clean ...

E.g. in Kernel HOWTO you find this already in the Quick Steps.
To find words about mrproper you have to grep the kernel howtos!

then recompile.

ftp://ftp.muni.cz/pub/tex/local/cstug/thanh/pdftex/snapshots/20010806
For an update script see further below.

And a really (nearly) complete solution to font problems in pdf docs: cm-super
(it works with pdflatex for sure, it should also work with dvips)

Especially for Ghibo:
Generally: Do you know, if tetex distribution is currently maintained and 
evolving?
Mdk: It would be nice to have current pdftex in tetex RPM. And maybe a 
cm-super addon?

[Cooker] urpmi kde 23 mixture

I've got now a ~ 1 month old cooker installation. Now I decided to update some
kde-2.2.2 packages via urpmi, basically 'urpmi kdelibs' or 'urpmi

But urpmi chooses also libqt3, kdelibs-3.0beta, libarts3 among other 2.2.2

So maybe you have to unscramble some dependencies.

 It's because:

 a) there's no such thing as main,contrib,whatever for urpmX
all packet sources are alike
 b) naturally foobar-3.0 is a successor of foobar-2.2 - so
kdelibs-3.0beta would be naturally an up{date|grade} to kdelibs-2.2

 Why are those packages named this way after all? What about versioning?
 what about:
   kdebase3.0-3.0.0-0.1mdk
   kdebase-devel3.0-3.0.0-0.1mdk
   ...

 just like in gcc/gcc3.0 ... then such things would not happen.

 On the other hand, it might not be useful to versionate KDE as it makes
 no sense to install two or more versions along - alas update-alternatives
 is used propperly ..

  I'm not a C programmer or kernel expert, but after boot devfs only knows,

  The problem is, that mount does not trigger a new lookup for the drive
  partitioning.

 When new device is registered, it is marked as removable and directory
 (/dev/ide/.../lun0/) holds removables count registered under it. In this
 case it is .../disc. When you lookup .../part4 and it is not found and
 directory has non-zero removables count it initiates rescan for parition
 information. That is theory :-)

 The bug in ide-floppy was that with empty drive *nothing* ever was
 registered, and for this reason lookup of .../part4 never triggered
 partition revalidation.

 The person who reported this bug also reported that it was fixed by
 above mentioned patch. I do not have any ide-floppy devices to test it
 now.

 You may want to look on lkml (about two days ago) for a ide-floppy patch
 from driver maintainer. It does it slightly differently. May be it works
 better. Or I can send it to you (I guess I have not yet deleted it :-)

I found the patch and will give it a try. Thanx!

[Cooker] ZIP devfs

2001-11-30 Thread RA


I tried to reanimate (once again) my zip drive when booting with 
'devfs=mount'.
The problem with the current configuration is the missing of part4 dev
node. It is only automatically generated when a ZIP media is inserted during 
boot.
I found a working solution for my setup which I believe could easily extended 
to a general one.
The trick is that part4 is created when the disc node is touched (and of 
course a disc was inserted before). 

**
devfsd.conf:

LOOKUP  ^zip$   EXECUTE touch ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/disc
LOOKUP  ^ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part4$ EXECUTE touch 
ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/disc
REGISTER^ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part4$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL symlink 
ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part4 zip
UNREGISTER  ^ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part4$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink zip

# find ZIP host: cat /proc/ide/hd*/model | awk '/ZIP/ {print NR}'  
#(result: 2)
# but touch does not work with /dev/ide/hd/c2b0t0u0

 That is correct. It is first created when you try to access it, *not*

 More than likely it is caused by changes you made prior upgrading to the
 full cooker.

 Any such changes would not have been overwritten by the upgrade.
 Such changes, while allowing the drive to function in 8.1 would prevent
 the now properly functioning devfs from operating unless the same hack
 is used or unless all configs are returned to their default.

 As I said my USB Zip is functioning without problem and no changes were
 necessary.
 FWIW here is the fstab listings for my zip:

[Cooker] pbs with rebuilding of kde stuff

2001-10-23 Thread RA


On 8.1 System (with libpng3(-devel)) I tried to recompile kde...

* kdemultimedia: some kmidi files are not correctly installed in  
   Buildroot (I guess this is the case when kdemultimedia is already  
   installed)

* kdegraphics: 'Buildrequires: libusb-devel' is missing

* kdepim: 'Buildrequires: pilot-link-devel' is missing

* are these kde*-static-devel, xfree86-static-libs Buildrequires really   
  needed for rebuild? If I understand right, you only need this, if you want  
  to provide statically linked packages. It would be nice, if one could set   
  one macro (e.g. 'no-static-libs 1' in rpmrc), so that one does not need

No, autofs. And I have to correct me (once again). Alsa pb and autofs

Autofs was already started (something like 'zip -fstype=vfat :/dev/hdc4' in

of my sound card and after this 'automount: attemp to mount /removable/zip'!
Then it really tries to mount /dev/hdc4 which results in hanging of devfsd!
The only way to avoid this is a zip disk present at boot time :-(

supermount? tried it and it was not working. Maybe it was too late yesterday. 
And my aversion against supermount is too big (historically).



  drive. Accidently at boot time it always tries to access zip drive when

 What's the exact problem when compiled as a module which disappears when

With stock kernel I got only one md status line ('raid1 registered' or 
something similar), but the Linux-raid-autodetect-partitions are not 
recognized. Naturally, after this I got a lot of reiserfs garbage about 
missing superblock, cannot read initrd and kernel panic.
