When rhel updates to a new big release, it always drops some deprecated packages compared to the previous release. Considering fedora 13 just remove ppc arch to secondary arch, it's meaningful for fedora to retire some long dead upstream packages as well.

In fact, why is this discussion occuring without the gtk+ maintainer involved? You'd think he'd have a say in it before the crowd wantonly decided to drop his packages. Ryan This is a discussion for gtk+ 1.2 just like some other distributions, retiring gtk+ 1.2 is not an easy thing and worth discussion between several people. It'll be great if the gtk+ maintainer can involve in the discussion. Retiring long dead upstram packages will be helpful to keep yum metadata in an accept size and encourage developers switch from old toolkits to modern tookits. Fedora always updates its gcc/python to the newest release and breaks a few packages in repos, so it's the same case to treat development toolkits as well if most of the applications can work compile with subsequent toolkits.

Hi Miroslav, lets go over a couple of things to help lower the grumpiness of others. 1) Who are you? 2) What is your position in regards to knowing ntpd and/or chrony in stability and other things? I'm the maintainer of the ntp and chrony packages, for 4 and 1.5 years respectively. I'm also an upstream maintainer of chrony and I'm familiar with internal designs of both applications. I think most people do not know who maintains ntpd, and do not know if this is a Oh wow I just found this really great software program and we should change to it right away kind of email. Well, that's exactly what I thought when I first discovered chrony :). I'm proposing to add a support for chrony to system-config-date and change the dependency. As chrony supports only a subset of the NTP protocol and misses many of the ntpd features, users will have to install the ntp package manually if they have a specific requirement or need to use a more complicated configuration. Ok time is one of those touchstone security tools that people get all kinds of crazy about when things get changed. Here are a couple of questions that might help: 1) Why chrony? Why not OpenNTPD [fill in the blank here] I think the most important chrony features are covered in the original mail. OpenNTPD is not able to compensate for drift, i.e. it's not much better than running ntpdate from cron. Currently, the only other NTP client I know that might have enough features and good perfomance to be considered as a default client (if it worked on Linux) is dntpd from DragonFly BSD. 2) Where is the data that chrony actually controls the clock better? One comparison is here: http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/chrony/chrony.html An old test I did with a GPS reference clock (this may better demonstrate clock control abilities): http://fedorapeople.org/~mlichvar/chrony/chrony_vs_ntp.png 3) How far have you/others tested it in comparison with ntpd? I'm using chrony on most of my machines, some of them are running 24x7, some are rebooted/suspended daily, quality of the network connection varies from wireless to fiber. 4) A release plan should probably look like the following: Fedora-14 we add chrony into alternatives or other commands needed to get it to work. System-config-date has pathways to configure one or the other when it is seen. Test days and reviews are done to see how it is going. Organize a short-term sig and get Mo to make a design for shirts (melting clocks sounds a good idea). People who test, find bugs, etc etc qualify for a drawing of stuff. Fedora-15 from feedback we have gotten on chrony, we go through the plan of making chrony default (or not) and make ntpd optional. This is one alternative plan ( a bit slow but for security related things probably better.). To speed it up we need to move get people motivated towards 12/13 testing and feedback. If anyone wants to help with testing now - enable statistics loopstats peerstats in ntp.conf and log measurements tracking in chrony.conf - run each for few days or weeks in your typical workload and network conditions - send me the logs from /var/log/ntpstats and /var/log/chrony Or you can make your own analysis. The most important value is the offset reported in the 3rd field in loopstats and the last field in tracking.log.

Not many users can fix bugs. I consider the number of open bugs pretty low for a classic software. And from the magnitude of the bug ID numbers, I can tell that xmms is still popular. Why are they not fixed by the xmms maintainers? I don't know, and I wonder about that too. Unlike almost everything else, xmms never fails to work. A smiley missing? Here :) We don't want to get people upset, do we? Well, seems to become a common trend in Fedora-land to do that more often. I support Chen Lei here, as offering a growing number of out-dated apps (both with regard to their maintenance/development state, look'n'feel, and unhandled problem reports) is neither beneficial to Fedora nor to the app itself. Those app users, who are left, will abandon the app [silently!] when they face problems, especially if those problems won't be fixed in Fedora. As has been mentioned, XMMS has various successors such as XMMS2 and Audacious. Fanaticism is a subjective concept. I am sure if it gets dropped, some people will start using other applications, some will resort to a 3rd party repo for xmms. Another subjective topic is taste; there is no point in debating about taste. I like the look'n'feel of gtk applications better than gtk2 ones. Other people might disagree. The reason why we still have xmms is a cumulative sum of subjective decisions. The benefit of it to Fedora is, well, people can exercise their freedom. :) Orcan -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Not many users can fix bugs.

I consider the number of open bugs pretty low for a classic software. And from the magnitude of the bug ID numbers, I can tell that xmms is still popular. Doubtful. It's still installed by some people, because web pages (including very old HOWTOs/FAQs) refer to it. In other words, it's still being advertised in questionable ways, e.g. as one way to add MP3 support to Fedora/RHL or as an app similar to Winamp. There are users, who give it a try (and some of them may have used it before), but it would be adventurous to conclude that they belong to a user base that would make the packages popular. It could also be that those bug reporters don't return, and they won't tell in bugzilla. It's likely that once they see themselves forced to look into a different audio player, they won't use XMMS ever again. One can only hope that with the majority of default installs, a different audio player is available and won't give Fedora users a false impression. Such as that XMMS would be considered sort of a standard audio solution for Fedora. Why are they not fixed by the xmms maintainers? I don't know, and I wonder about that too. There is a pattern -- not limited to xmms*. Package owners don't respond in bugzilla, bug reporters don't add any other comment, EOL scripts eventually close the tickets, package owners and bug reporters don't reopen the tickets. What do they do? Do they live with work-arounds? http://bugzilla.redhat.com/525277 reported on 2009-09-23 - it's the PulseAudio volume decrease problem that affects xmms-pulse, too. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Anyway, thinking about the problem with DeviceKit system policies, I really feel that the current situation is flawed: a process running as root is able to mount a device either by calling mount system call or by running the mount command, but it is unable to mount a device using DeviceKit. Why?! This is an inconsistent policy IMHO. And I feel it should be fixed anyway. Any comments?

Otherwise (for example if you don't have your congressman because you are not a U.S. citizen), you can also try to move Red Hat's headquarters outside of U.S. (although I am not sure, it would be enough, you would probably ask its biggest clients to move). That's the wrong argument. We all know why we _can't_ make it just work, but that doesn't excuse us. Sorry to take a well-worn analogy, but if two guys are trying to sell you cars, and one doesn't have an engine, would the fact that the guy selling the car with no engine has a *really good and inarguable reason* why it doesn't have an engine make you buy that car? Hell no. You'd buy the car with the engine. Just because we have a *really good reason* we can't ship this stuff doesn't mean we are excused from the fact that it's a distinct negative for the use of our operating system as a general-purpose desktop operating system. Just my 0.2 cents in this regard: well, we have a car without engine, and a suitable engine is built somewhere which we can't use. But, I wonder why there is nobody to pick our car and the engine and sell the car with engine to people who don't want to do that themselves? RPMFusion is a very well-known engine builder! While there were/are some efforts to ship our car with its engine, there is no well-known Fedora remix which contains the extra stuff (it is probably because most of the current users have already adopted with using rpmfusion if they want it). If we can come up with enough people to provide and maintain a Fedora remix for awhile, it can become well-known and something which is always there, so we can point beginners to that one instead of other distros if they want such a distro. We (I and a very few others) are going to create a remix, but our current target users are a bit more restricted (mostly because of lack of manpower) (Also we are currently targeting a DVD installation media rather than live media). But if there are some other interested people out there, we can go for the mentioned remix (and we will probably base our custom remix on that).

If the maintainer is willing to keep it going, who cares whether it's in the distro? In fact, why is this discussion occuring without the gtk+ maintainer involved? You'd think he'd have a say in it before the crowd wantonly decided to drop his packages. If you want my opinion as the upstream GTK+ maintainer (thankfully, I got out of being the gtk+ package maintainer a few years ago), I don't particularly care if some people enjoy maintaining long-obsolete software from the 90s in some dark corner of the repository, but I certainly don't want to see any of it close to the default install.

And if they are, they should _know_ that and be able to set up a tool (whether it is NTP or Crony) themselves. I guess you've never had to debug Kerberos before. Luckily, neither have i, so i'm not one to talk. There are a number of apps that are I have. The users who end up with the most problems are laptop users. I wonder if windows basically does a forced 'get my time right from sources' when it awakes as I rarely had issues with AD/windows boxes on it... but other OS's have that problem. I believe that SSL will also have problems in some use cases if the clocks are too off.. but that might have been Kerb related also. pretty dependent on the clocks being in sync with each other to a degree. Granted, not everyone is running all those apps, but then it begs the question why Fedora provides so much out of the box in the first place.

Just because we have a *really good reason* we can't ship this stuff doesn't mean we are excused from the fact that it's a distinct negative for the use of our operating system as a general-purpose desktop operating system Yes, principled approaches to product production can look like a negative in the short term. You want an analogy proprietary media is the computing equivalent of ready to eat,mass marketed processed convenience food. Its the software version of junkfood and soda and pizza rolls and dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets. It's unsustainable, and unhealthand tastes so very good. So even though sugary salty brightly colored food-like cubes are clearly popular and in demand.. is catering to this in the best interest of anyone? Some people don't think so and choose to support a better way to produce and distribute food...going as far as to limit what they choose to consume in supporting an overall more sustainable pattern of behavior. Fedora is that better, sustainable way. It's not elitist, everyone is welcome to participate with the understanding that part of making that choice can involve the giving up some conveniences in the short term in the commitment to the larger goals of a sustainable free software ecosystem. If your not comfortable with that expectation, then we'll warmly let you pass through on your way to another community that will better cater to your desires. But we aren't going to cater to unsustainable convenience food. And if that principled approach is not the most popular.. it doesn't mean its worth giving up. We need to shake loose the idea that being the most popular matters. What I want is contributor targets to shoot for. I want a clear vision by which we can recruit contributors...not users. Maybe Mike is right and we are going to see a big dip in users when RHEL 6 comes out and people junk to that stable offering. And where he sees a negative. I see success. We position this project as leading edge. If people have been using Fedora as a forerunner to RHEL 6 and now find they want long term stability...then great. We did exactly what we said we would do for those people and now their needs are such that a stable base makes mroe sense. We are NOT all things to all people. Its GOOD to see people who need stability moving to RHEL instead of asking us to be that as well as leading edge. And since we don't promise to provide everything to everyone then I fully expect to see a cyclic process in our contributor and user base. I expect to see periods of die-off as well as growrth. I expect that in any system which aims to be sustainable. The issue for me is are we prepared for the cycle of renewal.

this fix is incorrect. because %if 0%{?rhel} 5 becomes if 05
on fedora since rhel is undefined. you need to add a check for fedora
also.
Or you can just use:
BuildRequires: /usr/include/tcpd.h

this fix is incorrect. because %if 0%{?rhel} 5 becomes if 05 on
fedora
since rhel is undefined. you need to add a check for fedora also.
This is also wrong because we want 0%{?rhel} = 5.
To avoid having to specify negation I'd also reverse the condition:

Fedora 13 Release Candidate Phase
Fedora 13 has released Release Candidate stage. We have reached a state where the known blockers were fixed and were able to make a release candidate. This happened last Thursday, and almost immediately we found a need to spin a second release candidate. From this point on, only items critical to the release will be tagged into the branched Fedora 13 repo. I'm currently doing the first push of Fedora 13 stable updates. These will be what we call 0-day updates, that is updates available at release time. Things in the bodhi update system for Fedora 13 can now be pushed stable to this updates repo. This allows our maintainers to continue to improve Fedora 13 as release engineering and QA finalize the release bits. If you have a bug that you think is critical to the release of Fedora 13 and must be fixed on the media, please make your bug block F13Blocker. We will be reviewing the contents of this blocker bug frequently throughout the days as we near our go / no go decision. Thank you for your hard work in making Fedora 13 an awesome release! -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ devel-announce mailing list devel-annou...@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce-- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

The rpm-config package is certainly pretty specific to RHEL/Fedora.

Re: Blockers via flags?
On 5/10/2010 22:23, Jesse Keating wrote:
(our?) Bugzilla already has a method for proposal and acceptance. This
is done via flags. We currently use this for package reviews and CVS
admin tasks. What I propose is that we introduce a new flag once we've
branched a release and created a bugzilla version for a Fedora release.
This sounds like a decent idea to me, but I have a couple
questions/suggestions.
That flag would be release_blocker or just blocker, or maybe
{alpha,beta,final}_blocker. Anybody who has rights to modify bugs could
set this flag to ?.
Fedora only has one branched, yet unreleased release at a time. Can we
recycle the same tag(s) for every release instead of creating new ones
every time?
How does it solve the problem(s)? We can query against flags and find
the bugs that have been accepted as blockers, which will help developers
find issues which are critical to be worked on. It'll help our testers
find issues which are determined to be blockers and have a fix that
needs to be verified. It'll help our qa/releng folks focus on issues
that are proposed but not yet accepted as blockers. It will also allow
us to process potential blockers as they come up asynchronously as
opposed to waiting for the next Friday grind and spend hours working
through the list synchronously. Ideally that will allow us to reach a
conclusion about a proposed blocker faster and with less overhead, so
that we can spend the meeting time discussing the truly interesting and
difficult issues that require discussion.
I don't understand how using a flag instead of a tracking bug makes this
less work. Under the current system proposed blockers show up, get
discussed, then possibly shot down. Under your proposed system proposed
blockers will show up, get discussed, then possibly acknowledged as
such. Where is the time savings?

We could probably name them such, just {alpha,beta,final}_blocker, and
only make them available to the release that is in branched mode. I
say probably, as I've done 0 research on the subject.

Under the current system, the acceptance or removal of a blocker
generally only happens during the Friday meetings. Under the new
system, releng can at their convenience run through the proposed list
and cast their vote. QA can do the same, as can developers. This can
all happen in async and more frequently than the waiting for the next
Friday meeting.
