That's one of those many invalid -1 comments (and yet another reason why 
karma is broken). You cannot mix different builds of the same package for 
different multilib arches, it will always result in such file conflicts. 
This is completely normal and you are not expected to fix this. The user 
should be upgrading both arches of the package at the same time (or removing 
the 32-bit multilib if it's not needed).

Karma automatism is completely broken and useless, how's that news?

It's quite sad that the rest of FESCo wants to rely on such brokenness even 
more in the future (with me being the only one who refused to vote for such 
a broken plan which just smells of failure). Numeric karma should be 
abolished entirely, not made a requirement for anything.

In practice it's almost always true, with really extremely rare exceptions, 
which are not worth headaches such as broken upgrade paths.

Yes. Pushing stuff to older releases later does not break upgrade paths,  it 
just annoys and confuses folks. Pushing stuff to older releases first is 
what's really broken and what happened here.

On https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ , there's a Builds: field for 
each update, click on one of the builds to get to its Koji build page which 
also contains changelog info. Changelog info is per SRPM, not per update 
group, so it can't really be done any faster, you need to select the SRPM 
you want to view updates for. (You'll notice that for grouped updates, the 
PackageKit frontends will display different changelogs depending on which 
package from the group you're viewing the details for.)

As for fedora-easy-karma, the script just needs to add the required Koji or 
yum/repoquery queries, that doesn't have to be done on the server end at 
all.

Unfortunately, a sizeable portion of our users installs some crappy 
proprietary driver, sometimes not even a properly packaged one, but using 
some broken installation script directly from the hardware vendor's website, 
making this all moot. :-( While it is true that our Free drivers are far 
from perfect as well, most graphics-related problems are actually due to 
proprietary drivers. Just say NO to proprietary drivers! (And in fact this 
is one of the reasons why our drivers are a bit on the experimental side, 
it's needed to get support for as much hardware as possible with our Free 
drivers, e.g. there's now experimental 3D support for Nouveau in F13.)

Abstract sockets are not particularly useful for anything but system
services that are only started once, and very early during bootup. Why?
because they are not namespaced: every user can take every name he
wants. If a system service that is restartable or started late at bootup
needs a specific name then some evil user might already have taken it
away, creating a DoS situation. 

As soon as a system is booted up to a level where non-system users can
login abstract namespace sockets must use randomized names, to avoid
these DoS issues. And a reference to those names would probably be have
to be written to the file system, so that it can be found by other
applications. And as soon as that happens, most advantages of sockets
that don't live in the fs hierarchy are gone.

Abstract sockets are a tool that is only really useful during early boot. For
everything else I don't think it really has any advantages over fs
sockets. However, they are harder to discover, which sucks.

In summary: unless you hack very low-level Linux-specific software
forget about abstract sockets.

If KDE really does this, it is really broken.   
 

 
 is unsuitable for use cases like this, since on many 
 
Fedora/RH systems it is just "localhost". And then very often it is 
 
highly dynamic, sometimes even changing with DHCP.  
 

 
If you want to identify a machine, use the D-Bus machine id. If you 
 
don't want to link against the libdbus libraries (which you probably
 
should), then at least read /var/lib/dbus/machine-id and use that   
 
(possibly with a fallback to the hostname, in case the admin is a nut). 
 

 
The dbus machine id is the only suitable ID for usecases like this: it  
 
is static, bound to the installation, and widely available. 
 

 
In addition to this  is unsuitable for use cases like this
 
too, since it opens the door to DoS attacks by other users since they   
 
can guess you socket path and create the socket and hence make it   
 
impossible for you to use it.   
 

 
If you want to do this properly, do something like this:

~/.kde/socket- → /tmp/ksocket-/socket

That is a security hole. Since /tmp knows no further access control an
evil user can just create dirs there for each and every single user on
the system. Those directories will then be owned by him, and all other
users will a) either completely fail to work or b) happily connect to
the evil user's services unless the software in question implements
two-way credential passing and verification (which I'd bet akonadi
doesn't do).

So either this is a DoS vulnerability or an even worse security hole.

So in short: don't do this. If you safely want to place a socket in
/tmp, you need to place it in a random dir, and then symlink (or
otherwise refer to it) from $HOME. Or better (as Colin suggested), just
use D-Bus to pass around the randomized socket path. (or even better:
use the new fd passing in D-Bus so that you don't need to socket path at
all)

Or even shorter: Unix sucks.

At last year's FOSS.in I did a talk about issues like this in Unix and
how to work around them in application and how incredibly hard it is to
get this right. One of those days I hope to find the time to write a
blog story about this.

I personally believe introducing a per-user /var/run (maybe as
/var/run/users/$USER which is created at login time) is cleanest way to
fix all of this.

> I can't imagine what harm that would cause to default under /tmp?

It's a shared namespace. As such it is a major source of
vulnerabitilities, especially if the developers didn't have this
particular use in mind.

Query re package versions in F-13

2010-03-19 Thread Quentin Armitage
When I run yum list extras on my F-13 system, it lists (inter alia) the
following:

tzdata.noarch   2010e-1.fc13@updates-testing
tzdata-java.noarch ...

The version of tzdata currently in the F-13 repositories is 2010c-1,
with nothing in updates-testing, but Bodhi shows that 2010e-1 has been
pushed to testing. Has this update somehow been mislaid?

Besides, the principle is not in fact correct. Just for instance, an
installable package which causes massive data corruption is not better
than an uninstallable package...

Not saying that's the case here, just pointing out that 'it's
uninstallable' is not the worst possible flaw a package can have.

Are you sure that the optical drive on the server is OK?  Those times for
postselection (tens of minutes) smell like slow hardware [microcode]
recovery for seek errors.

Transfer the DVD to a USB2.0 flash memory device, boot the netinstall CD
with extra parameter 'askmethod', choose local harddrive, and select the
flash memory partition as the source of the Fedora 13 tree.  Postselection
should take less than one minute.

I don't know that. I believe it requires NM/ModemManager changes but
atleast it would be easier to do the manual configuration if that is

Because there are a significant number of people that will scream
bloody murder if people push packages directly to stable without
having the package spend at least a little time in testing, no matter
what the reason.  There have been enough problems with seemingly
"safe" updates that go directly to stable that I have a hard time
disagreeing with them.

If you try again, it will most likely work.

These sporadic errors are probably due to the FAS identity provider/
visit manager that our TurboGears apps use.  However, the pkgdb isn't
logging tracebacks properly, so we really don't know exactly where
it is coming from, though I assume it's pycurl throwing an error while
trying to connect to FAS.

Why testing?

A "maybe-broken update" is better than a "non-working programm" isn't
it?

I think this is a transient error from packagedb -- if it's repeatable, it's
something I can take a look at and hopefully fix quickly.  Also -- I have
just deployed a new version of packagedb that fixes one of the sources of
transient failures.  It's possible that it will fix this.

Please let me know if you can get this repeatedly or if it seems to have

No all operating systems are able to support GPT, so there may be nice 
to have
a hybrid partition schema.

Aspecial if you want a tripple boot system on a Macaintosh system, there 
will be
nice to have this feature, because you can only have four partition in 
the MBR, which
may be assigned as follow:

Partitiona #1EFI system partition
Partition #2:Mac OX X
Partition #3:Linux
Partition #4:Windows

Anyone in the future we may not have this discussion because all 
computer have moved
to a UEFI systen caused by the 2 TB limitation of the MBR partition 
schea, but now we
have the issue, that we have to support OS which are unable to support 
GPT partition
hard discs.

Why deal with two different types of partitioning tables?  Why /not/ go
forward to GPT, I think that's the more appropriate question.

F13 install timings

2010-03-19 Thread Orion Poplawski
I don't know if it is too early to do install timings (due to debugging 
be on in the kernel, elsewhere?) but here are the longest steps from a 
fairly stripped down kickstart server install of about 389 packages:

F-13:

enablefilesystems 3:10s
postselection24:27s
installpackages  14:30s

F-12:

enablefilesystems 2:50s
postselection36:45s
installpackages  11:36s (probably had more packages in our local cache)

The install spends a long time displaying "Checking dependencies in 
packages selected for installation" with no movement of the progress bar.

Any way this could get sped up more (good job going from 36m to 24m) and 
progress shown?

Interestingly a much larger install set on a laptop took only 1:34s in 
postselection.

So, test with Getopt::Long showed that there would be conflicting man-pages.

I don't think create sub-package for all modules is possible. Also this doesn't
help readability of specfile. These "smaller" modules can be updated once
a time in main package. People usually want updates only of those modules which
already have sub-package.

I'm not saying that's the best solution... Any other better ideas?

This is good, but it already failed with Western Digital afaik. I
somewhere read that they did it correctly with test drives but now the
released drives do not report their sizes properly, so there are already
real world issues. It was mentioned on this thread I and have a WD20EARS

We are currently working to verify that storage devices work properly & report 
the information that they want us to use (doing this with several storage 
providers and have also raised this with EMC/VMware).

Specifically for vmware, I think that our default will be good for them when a 
device fails to report. Specifically, their own tech report suggests using a 
non-default alignment (sector 128 iirc?). We can certainly work to verify this 
with them.

If we see real world issues during this testing, we can start thinking about 
how 
to fix it.

thanks!

Although I have done a fair amount of X development work in the past,
unfortunately, as with most people, my volunteer time is in short
supply (I have a wife and kids to support :) ). So "in use" testing,
bug reporting and attempting the first pass bug searches is currently my
limit in Fedora.

If there were less churn in Fedora to cope with perhaps I and other
user/developers would have more unpaid volunteer time to devote to
actual development :)

It would not be that annoying, if it was only one tool. But there are
e.g. at least fdisk, mdadm, lvm, cryptsetup and mkfs.*/mkswap that all
have to properly align the data.

So add some interface to query whether the information was probed or set
by a user. Then it should not be that confusing. :-)

Afaik it is also required in case one uses EFI instead of a BIOS. Doing
this soon would make Fedora ready once it is required. Other nice
features are checksums for the partition table and file system
independent uuids for the partitions and file system independent clear
text names for partitions. These can be used to easier identify
partitions that do not contain a file system, e.g. because they are
encrypted or they have been wiped. Then they could be easier identified
to be used again, e.g. in the installer.

> How about doing it only for disks which are too large to cope with the
> DOS-style partition tables?

For large disks it would be required anyhow. But it does not need to be
default, at least support for it in the installer would be nice.

I think that would be a bad idea - if you know what you want to change, why not 
just invoke the tool with those specific parameters?

It would be very confusing to have us probe the device, get the real 
information 
from the storage device and then let a user update that information to 
something 
"false" :-)

Are there any good reasons to do this _other_ than so we can cope with
larger disks?

How about doing it only for disks which are too large to cope with the
DOS-style partition tables?

There still will be a partition table, but it will always show a
partition that starts at sector 1. By default it seems not to be marked
as active, but this should be possible. This is then the old style
partition, that contains the new GPT header and partitions.

How about making it possible to overwrite the wrong reported values,
e.g. by making /sys/block/sdb/queue/[physical_block_size
writable,minimum_io_size} writable.

Sure, but they don't have to and so some don't do that... :(
And some of them might think, the changelog says enought, so I don't
write it there (because that would just be copy&paste).

When there are no notes and the changelog is then showing up, then they
at least think right...

Just to be sure: do this mean users with those dongles should have a
"works out of the box" experience with NetworkManager in F13?

Or maybe package maintainers could write decent update notes?

I don't know, maybe that's just a crazy idea... ;)

KPackageKit != Bodhi:

When you use fedora-easy-karma or the updates site to provide testing
feedback, it would be nice to have such a %changelog field, *expecially*
if there are no updates notes shipped with the package. In this case it
would be absolutely nessesary to have at least the changelog as notes
there (if not getting the extra field).

 Hi,

 how about using GPT[0] partitions for F14 for all installations that wipe
 the whole disk to install Fedora? It is also considered to be good by
 Tejun Heo[1] and it seems to work nicely already on F12. I just
 partitioned a new HD using gdisk and the kernel seems to recognise it
 without any problems.

I can vouch for at least 2 Intel based motherboards which do not boot 
unless a) there exists a partition table and b) one partition is marked 
as active

however, to be honest, those are OLD mobos and probably not relevant any 
more

I am also pretty sure that a BIOS does not consider the partition table
to boot, because it only needs to access the first 440 (maybe 446) bytes
of hard disk, which will not be touched by GPT:

But the Fedora grub is supposed to support it for a long time:

Re: Potential F14 feature: Use GPT partition table by default for "wipe complete HD" installations

2010-03-19 Thread Maxim Burgerhout
>  The problem is old grub.

To quickly hook into this: wouldn't moving to grub2 be a viable
feature for F14 then? I know we wouldn't be the first to do it, but
that might be a plus here. The Ubuntu guys have already forced some
more wide spread testing of grub2 by implementing it in a recent
release. Implementing grub2 might then eventually make implementing
GPT in a later phase an option (I am not qualified to state this as a
certainty).

Or has this all been talked about before and has already been
concluded that this is not viable?
