 It looks like glibc is missing TLS support. Do I submit a BZ against

That is simply not the case and it's hard to see how you came to such

 No. Just no.

 The exceptions for Firefox need to stop NOW, i.e. no new ones should be
 granted and the ones that have already been granted repealed/discontinued.
 Giving yet another package a free pass is going in the entirely wrong
 direction.

 (That said, I really don't see why Firefox gets a free pass while Chromium
 doesn't.)

 Having a more secure browser would benefit the main repositories.

 We already have Konqueror which is more secure than either Firefox or
 Chromium. (There have been much fewer security vulnerabilities in KHTML than
 either Gecko or WebKit. All the WebKit issues have been checked for
 reproducibility in KHTML and most weren't reproducible.)

Perhaps the Upstream we should be working with instead should be
Debian (Iceweasel)?

I'm compiling Iceweasel right now and i'm going to attempt to plug it
into the system xulrunner, lol. It's the same version anyways so I
don't see why the branding being changed will introduce new bugs and
I'm not using debians security patches. I'll update on this and if it
works i'll look into modifying the firefox spec to use this instead.
However i'm kind of a noob at packaging and probably can't maintain
this forever.

  I think it's completely unreasonable to package that software, because of 
  this:
  
   The problem here: dwm is configured solely in C and has to be recompiled
   every time a user wants to change their settings (appearance, behavior,
   shortcuts, etc). In my opinion, we could do it like this:
   
   - install a Fedora preconfigured version along with dwm sources
   - copy its configuration (C header file) to some fixed location for
 user to customize
   - provide a script to recompile dwm locally using the local
 configuration file
  
  Such a program is basically not packagable.
 
 It can't be packaged in the sense of shipping binaries.  But if a
 wrapper script is provided that automatically recompiles dwm for the
 individual user whenever necessary, the software could be packaged in
 the sense that it could be installed and updated with yum and would be
 functional without user intervention.  The latter is my definition of
 packageable.  Compare to the akmods offered by RPM Fusion.

I suppose rebuilding for every individual user would also be possible. I guess
the best way to do that without any user intervention would be to rebuild every
time a user's X session is started -- it's so small one would hardly notice it.

I created this draft based on my yesterdays email:
http://psabata.fedorapeople.org/dwm/dwm-5.8.2-1.fc13.src.rpm

However, there are some limitations when compared to your approach:
1. One has to manually call dwm-reconfigure to rebuild dwm with their
   configuration
2. All users in the system share the same settings (this is worse)

So, the new idea:

package dwm:
- installs binaries with default configuration only
- depends on dmenu and xterm
package dwm-user (or whatever):
- installs dwm sources and a dwm-start script which:
- checks for, say, ~/.dwm.config.def.h;
  runs default dwm if it's not present, or
  recompiles dwm in ~/.dwm with the user configuration and runs it
  if the config's there (and possibly has changed since the last
  time)
- depends on dwm, gcc, make and Xlib-devel

This is something I also looked into, and found that there is something
on the horizon, but I know I am not allowed to discuss it yet until the

The other option is looking @ projects like:-

and also

http://www.rpath.org/

I have used the Thincrust stuff and it does indeed still work in F13.

Akmods are a horribly ugly hack which is a very bad example to follow. (In 
fact, I strongly recommend against using akmods, the binary kmods follow

Surely the RPM should simply install the sources, along with a script
that the user can run to copy the config files to the user's homedir
and build dwm.  The user would then have their own private copy of
dwm.

 Dynamic Window Manager?  So dynamic, you gotta recompile to change

I dunno, it sounds a lot easier than reconfiguring some window managers!

 xulrunner (because there's where most of the offending patches live).

If you run a 's/, in addition to being stupid by itself,//' over that:
Yes, sure.

 And besides, it's not that we want Iceweasel, it's that we DO NOT WANT
 Firefox since it does not follow Fedora policies.

As it's obvious from the discussion: There are other we in Fedora that
think having Firefox is wise.

Please note that I actually don't feel myself as being a part of either
we here. Both sides afaics have good points. The main reason why I
raised my voice: I don't see a real reason why Fedora has to pick a
position for the repository (see next para)

 Having both would not actually solve any problem.

I tend to disagree, as including both Iceweasel and Icedove in addition
to Firefox and Thunderbird gives users, admins and especially those that
maintain a remix the option to easily chose the solution that suites
their needs best.

 As you pointed out, different drives, can have more-or-less identical
 partition size, with different CHS in the partition table.

 I my experience the hard disk vendors have been astonishingly coordinated
 in how much sectors a drive of a given size should have.

Total numbers of sectors may be the same---but the way the partitions 
are defined in the partition table requires the use of correct CHS disk 
geometry. Of course modern disks don't even have a well-defined physical 
geometry---the  number of sectors per cylinder varies between the inner 
and outer tracks---but they still must declare one as a weird historical 
artifact required by the BIOS and traditional partition table layout. 
The manufacturers lie about it, e.g. declaring dozens of heads, but 
what's worse different manufacturers lie about it differently.

Warning: what follows is boring and geeky, and might be wrong because a) 
I haven't worked with this stuff for a while now and b) things change as 
the disks get biger and newer.

The reason the partition table has to represent the partition boundaries 
not as a Linear Block Address (LBA) sector count but as a 
Cylinder/Head/Sector coordinates, is because the BIOS booting code uses 
CHS access method. If those numbers assume wrong disk geometry
then the partition ends up being non-contiguous because IIRC, the 
calculation from CHS to LBA goes somehow like this:

LBA = c * (H*S) + h * S + s

where c, h, s are the CHS coordinates of a partition in the partition 
table, and C, H and S are the total 'reported' number of cylinders, 
heads and sectors on the drive. If you copy the chs numbers without
converting them for the different CHS geometry, you will get different 
and wrong LBA addresses, i.e. different partitioning.

 This is essentially not feasible because most of the disputed patches are in
 xulrunner, and a hypothetical separate Iceweasel package would share
 xulrunner with Firefox, unless we have even more bundled libraries.

 I also don't see what we have to gain from shipping both.

 So it's really an either-or situation.

 IMHO, the version which is not compliant with our guidelines needs to go
 away, period. We need to stop treating Mozilla specially, it needs to be
 held by the same rules as any other upstream. If they don't cooperate, it's
 the maintainer's job to fix things or orphan it. If nobody picks it up when
 orphaned, it should be retired like any other package. Firefox is NOT an
 essential package, the GNOME spin could just ship Epiphany (GNOME's default
 browser) instead, and other desktop spins ALREADY ship the respective
 desktop's default instead of Firefox!

upstart in rawhide

2010-10-14 Thread Petr Lautrbach
Hello,

systemd will be default init system in Fedora 15 and scripts infrastructure 
will be adapted to it.
There is a plan to leave upstart in Fedora as non-official alternative.

For now (since upstart-0.6.5-12.fc15):

- upstart-sysvinit is no longer created

- upstart requires sysvinit-userspace (now provided by systemd) which provides 
upstart compatible
utilities /sbin/halt,poweroff,reboot,shutdown,telinit

- conflicting upstart utilities are located in /lib/upstart

- jobs definitions in /etc/init/ are already packaged in upstart but still taken
from initscripts upstream git

- to use upstart as init you need to pass init=/sbin/upstart to kernel command 
line e.g. via grub.conf


There will be probably more changes like resolving file conflicts on /sbin 
utilities, rc.sysinit,
/etc/init.d/halt and man pages which are currently not shipped.


Any objections and comments are appreciated.

Regards,

Petr

Hi,

 Striving for usability and pleasantness for the untechnical users 
 certainly is
 a good thing. It gets problematic when you choose to make things 
 technically
 inferior just to please those kind of users.

 We don't have to make things inferior to improve usability.  To stick
 with the advanved storage example:  IMHO the selection screen between
 basic and advanced storage is confusing and superfluous.  First it
 should probably be named local storage and SAN storage.  Second
 anaconda can default to local storage if a local disk is present (option
 to add SAN storage needs to be there of course).  If no local disk is
 present it can go straight to SAN setup.  One screen and one mouse click
 less for most of the users.

 If you want to appeal to the same audience Ubuntu is going for then you
 have to remove choice.

 Why? All that would be required would be to move it out of this
 audience's way (the defaults).

 Now we are really talking semantics.
I don't think so.

 The point is that users should not be
 confronted with choices they don't really need to make or they don't
 understand.
My point is to offer users who want choice the choices they want and not 
to force them into something they do not want.

 As Gerd mentioned in another mail, SUSE's installer seems interesting
 wrt. this. Its defaults cater the demands of uneducated desktop
 installers, while still allows many kinds of complex setups outside of
 the defaults in advanced menus.

 As long as most of these defaults and menus are not displayed initially
 that would probably be fine.
Please get yourself a SUSE DVD and try yourself - I was very positively 
surprized, esp. about SUSE's disk partitioner's work-flow.

It is easy to use for beginners (Click-through), while it still allows 
complex setups.

 The problem here is that every time you present the user with data dumps
 (e.g. lists of defaults) or menus you create a cognitive hurdle where the
 user wonders what he's supposed to do or gets worried that he breaks
 something. Minimizing that is really key to creating a streamlined
 installation interface.

 The second aspect is that you want to talk to the user in terms of his
 problem and not in terms of the underlying technology.
Correct, ... my needs differ from that of others, ... therefore the 
tools being provided by a distro need to cater my needs, otherwise the 
distro doesn't fit my needs.

 For example a user
 wants to either replace the current System completely or install the
 distribution into free space on his HD and but into either the old or the
 new installed system.
Correct, that some user's demand .. but definitely not all, and could 
not be further away from my demands.

 The user doesn't care at all about partitions,
 LVM or mountpoints. This is different from the more apt user who wants
 to actually have control over these details (where exactly to put
 partition(s) on the disk for example).
Correct ... The latter for instance is what I had needed. I wanted to 
compare SUSE against Fedora. So I installed SUSE in parallel to other 
OSes (amongst them Fedora and Windows) on to the same machine.

If my only choice would have been erase Fedora and/or Windows, ... this 
distro would have disqualified itself.

 The issue here is that keeping these advanced features available could have
 a negative impact on the easy-mode experience.If you manage to prevent
 that from happening than more power to you but if not then creating two
 distinct workflows is really the only option.
I can't avoid to disagree.

Spawning different installers means duplicating work and wasting resource.

 Seriously, you guys suck!

Yet most of this can be done in a much better way *after* the installation. 
I'm not sure why you think cramming as many features as possible into 
anaconda is a good idea. Once you've got the desktop running you have way 
better means to advertise features to the user.

 Hiding features doesn't have to be beneficial to usability. It can be harmful,
 too.

Clearly if we wanted to hide *everything* we would not require a user 
interface at all but some choices need to be made. The point is that a lot 
of the stuff you apparently have in mind don't actually need to happen 
during the installation but can happen for example as part of the 
first-boot configuration.

group and create an installer that will make everyone happy. That's just 
not going to happen and it's one of the primary reason why efforts to 
improve things often fail. While abstraction is good there is such a thing 
as too much of it.

One perfect example is the idea that you can simply slap a traditional 
desktop on one of these new tablets or smartphones and you are done. The 
real genius behind what Apple accomplished wasn't some nifty technological 
feat or the fact that they control both hardware and software but that they 
recognized that these devices simply aren't traditional desktop PCs and as 
a result need a system that is tailored to this new world rather than 
simply rebranding StandardOS(tm) and putting that on there.

I think what is needed here is a similar approach were we don't try to take 
the current installation process and put some lipstick on it but instead 
recognize that the needs of Joe Sixpack who doesn't care about technology 
but simply want to share YouTube videos, manage his photos and browse 
Facebook are different from Mr. Admin who worries how he can separate his

 So... despite being root-caused, there's been no further movement on it in 4

 Well, as a workaround, I did rpm -q --scripts mod_ssl and figured out what 
 the install script was doing, and ran it by hand.  Quicker than waiting for 
 genkey to be fixed.

 Hi,

 Striving for usability and pleasantness for the untechnical users 
 certainly is
 a good thing. It gets problematic when you choose to make things 
 technically
 inferior just to please those kind of users.

 We don't have to make things inferior to improve usability.  To stick
 with the advanved storage example:  IMHO the selection screen between
 basic and advanced storage is confusing and superfluous.  First it
 should probably be named local storage and SAN storage.  Second
 anaconda can default to local storage if a local disk is present (option
 to add SAN storage needs to be there of course).  If no local disk is
 present it can go straight to SAN setup.  One screen and one mouse click
 less for most of the users.

 If you want to appeal to the same audience Ubuntu is going for then you
 have to remove choice.

 Why? All that would be required would be to move it out of this
 audience's way (the defaults).

 Now we are really talking semantics.
 I don't think so.

 The point is that users should not be
 confronted with choices they don't really need to make or they don't
 understand.
 My point is to offer users who want choice the choices they want and not
 to force them into something they do not want.

 As Gerd mentioned in another mail, SUSE's installer seems interesting
 wrt. this. Its defaults cater the demands of uneducated desktop
 installers, while still allows many kinds of complex setups outside of
 the defaults in advanced menus.

 As long as most of these defaults and menus are not displayed initially
 that would probably be fine.
 Please get yourself a SUSE DVD and try yourself - I was very positively
 surprized, esp. about SUSE's disk partitioner's work-flow.

 It is easy to use for beginners (Click-through), while it still allows
 complex setups.

 The problem here is that every time you present the user with data dumps
 (e.g. lists of defaults) or menus you create a cognitive hurdle where the
 user wonders what he's supposed to do or gets worried that he breaks
 something. Minimizing that is really key to creating a streamlined
 installation interface.

 The second aspect is that you want to talk to the user in terms of his
 problem and not in terms of the underlying technology.
 Correct, ... my needs differ from that of others, ... therefore the
 tools being provided by a distro need to cater my needs, otherwise the
 distro doesn't fit my needs.

 For example a user
 wants to either replace the current System completely or install the
 distribution into free space on his HD and but into either the old or the
 new installed system.
 Correct, that some user's demand .. but definitely not all, and could
 not be further away from my demands.

 The user doesn't care at all about partitions,
 LVM or mountpoints. This is different from the more apt user who wants
 to actually have control over these details (where exactly to put
 partition(s) on the disk for example).
 Correct ... The latter for instance is what I had needed. I wanted to
 compare SUSE against Fedora. So I installed SUSE in parallel to other
 OSes (amongst them Fedora and Windows) on to the same machine.

 If my only choice would have been erase Fedora and/or Windows, ... this
 distro would have disqualified itself.


For all of the above select the advanced installation. I'm not sure why you 
recognize that you have very special needs for you installation yet at the 
same time seem to insist to be able to use the same installation procedure 
tailored to users who don't even understand a lot of the words you were 
using above. Nobody is forcing you to do anything.

 The issue here is that keeping these advanced features available could have
 a negative impact on the easy-mode experience.If you manage to prevent
 that from happening than more power to you but if not then creating two
 distinct workflows is really the only option.
 I can't avoid to disagree.

 Spawning different installers means duplicating work and wasting resource.

Nobody is talking about spawning different installers. You'd start the same 
installer but it would present you with a different workflow i.e. in the 
advanced workflow you'd create your partitions manually and in the easy 
workflow you select to wipe your disk or install next to you existing 
windows os and anaconda would determine the necessary partitioning itself 
without bothering the user.

We already accepted it as a blocker, only ajax has specifically proposed
that it's not, and there's certainly no consensus that it isn't yet. The
new information we have here is that although this is a regression from
F13 / 2.6.33, it's in functionality that was essentially working by
accident prior to 2.6.34, and the code involved has changed completely
since. So the fix may not be as simple / non-invasive as would usually
be the case for a simple regression. I would like to see results of
testing one of the reporters currently has planned, to see if a fairly
simple patch can address this.

Re: Building mono-2.8 for 64 bit - possible solution to the problem

2010-10-14 Thread Paul F. Johnson
Hi,

  It looks like glibc is missing TLS support. Do I submit a BZ against
  glibc?
 
 That is simply not the case and it's hard to see how you came to such
 a conclusion.

Based on what I'm seeing from the error and getting from searching...

I've looked a bit deeper and there is nothing untoward being set in the
Makefile.in or Makefile.am files anywhere during the compilation - it's
picking things up in the configure script correctly and there is nothing
in the buildlog to say -m32 is being passed.

I'm going now to assume that CCASFLAGS on the x86_64 buildsys is
returning -m64 (is there a way to examine the root Makefiles generated
by the buildsys to ensure that this is happening?) and what does that
leave us with?

Help! I'm running around in circles

TTFN

Retiring nforenum

2010-10-14 Thread Felix Kaechele
Hi there,

as soon as grfcodec-1.0.1-0.1.r772 is in stable for all branches I will 
retire nforenum. nforenum has recently been included in the grfcodec 
codebase, so there's no need to keep nforenum as a seperate package.
This will probably affect nobody directly (unless you develop graphics 
for OpenTTD) since it is only used in the build process of openttd-opengfx.

It makes perfect sense to me, as there could easily be things that don't 
work with systemd and submit a bug report then use upstart is a more 
appropriate answer than don't use rawhide/F15 until it is fixed or try 
Ubuntu. Also upstart is in the contingency plan for the systemd feature.

 I tend to disagree, as including both Iceweasel and Icedove in addition

 their needs best.
 
 FWIW, there is precedent in {fedora,generic}-{release,logos,...}.

The issue is that Firefox is not compliant with Fedora guidelines and as 
such has no business being in Fedora. Adding another package Y cannot solve 
the problem of package X not being compliant with Fedora guidelines, only 
removing package X can.

Re: upstart in rawhide

 systemd will be default init system in Fedora 15 and scripts
 infrastructure will be adapted to it. There is a plan to leave upstart in
 Fedora as non-official alternative.

I don't think this is a good idea at all. We want users still on upstart to 
get automatically migrated to systemd, so having systemd obsolete upstart at 
RPM level is the best way to get there. I also don't see what we have to 
gain from having a redundant init system in the distribution.

Epiphany is still not serious about security:

[389-devel] Please review: [Bug 244229] targetattr not verified against schema when setting an aci

2010-10-14 Thread Noriko Hosoi


https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=244229

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=453598action=diff
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=453598action=edi

Description:
1. When acl contains targetattr keyword:
(targetattr [!]= attribute_1 || attribute_2 ...|| attribute_n),
where attribute_n does not contain '*', the current ACL plugin
accepts any attribute_n value even if it is not defined in the
schema.  This patch rejects the aci if it contains attribute_n
not defined in schema with this error message:
  NSACLPlugin - targetattr attribute_n does not exist in schema.
  Please add attributeTypes attribute_n to schema if necessary.
2. To implement 1, slapi APIs slapi_attr_syntax_exists and
slapi_vattr_type_exists are added.
3. An attributeTypes connection is added to 01core389.ldif which
is referred in an aci of cn=monitor.

 Large changes of every kind: bug fixes, new features, changes in 
 behavior of existing features. Everything you'd expect of an
 application that is fairly young and has a demanding user base ... a
 very demanding user base ... OK, an extremely demanding user base ...
 yeah, I have ulcers.

And these users expect these things in stable releases? 

Do you ever get bugs asking you to not change interfaces or that some
update causes breakage? Do you land in rawhide first to get additional
testing before sending on to stable? Do updates cause changes in things
like command line parameters, etc? 

Do you know how many users you have? This seems like it might be a
pretty specialized package and have a pretty small pool of users.

 CURRENTLY.
 
 The Debian Iceweasel maintainer has attached a patch to the upstream
 bug which makes it use the system libvpx, we'd just need to apply
 that patch.

You are mixing up the bundling of libvpx and the bundling of other
media libraries here. Firefox bundles other items as well, which is I
think what Gregory was talking about as iceweasel also bundles them.

 It doesn't help when a majority of voting FESCo members are biased

I use midori here. Every once in a great while I will run firefox to
look at something or see some behavior, but I almost never have it
running. Please don't speak for others when you don't really know the
answer to the question. 

 There seem to be some preconceptions
 about what happens when you remove the branding. No conclusive data
 can be provided to indicate how much users Firefox brings the distro.

Indeed. 

 I also don't appreciate the comment at the meeting about non
 contributing members on the mailing list complaining about this
 issue. It's an argument often used to ignore people with valid
 arguments who also don't happen to have a computer science degree.
 Some of us advocate Fedora and that in itself is a contribution.
 Fedora consists of volunteers in many areas, not all of them make
 packages or write code.

Sure. I agree, but just discussing something or being vocal about it
means you expect someone else to do the work. In an all volunteer setup
like Fedora, you may have to realize that this means it won't be done
unless someone steps up to do it.

Re: Ubuntu 10.10's installer looks rather nice

 I installed and played with Ubuntu 10.10 over the weekend (in a VM),
 and I have to say that their installer is very smooth indeed. It's
 starting to make anaconda look distinctly clunky.

 Some of the things it does which are IMHO better:

 - starts disk formatting / copying / installing in parallel
 with asking user questions

 - downloads updates in parallel too

 - uses IP geolocation to guess the user's timezone and keyboard
 settings (it's been 100% correct for me each time)

 - suggests a username and hostname based on the user's real name
 (Mac OS X's installer also does this -- it's a nice touch)

 This is in contrast to anaconda (certainly from the live CD install)
 which seems to be a usability no-go area.

 Thoughts? Can we switch to their installer?

 Rich.

Looking at the installation and the documentation of Ubuntu 10.10, the
outside looks nice but the functionality is very lacking as pointed out
on many posts. AFAIK, Ubuntu installer does not have the ability to
customize installation for use needs as highlighted and can be only done
offline. I don't know if there are installer from live media that
provide more control about package to install other than extracting the
bundled applications.

What anaconda needs is more refinement and polishing as majority of
function are already in place (has the team solved issue about multiple
boot bug  or recognition of other installed distributions).

To answer the question: don't switch to that new installer.
