It is pretty unusual, to test a package before it's released. If you're
looking for a reviewer,
I'd like to point you to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Review_Process#Contributor:

4. Wait for someone to review your package!

If that doesn't help, you might offer:

Review Swaps
If nobody comments on your review request, you might want to mail to a
mailing list (devel@lists.fedoraproject.org, for example) asking for a
review swap. This is an offer to do a review of someone else's package
in exchange for them reviewing your package. This is usually
one-for-one, or can be some other private arrangement depending on the
difficulty of the respective packages.

Just mailing devel@lists saying: hey everybody, here's something to test
might work but is usually not a good strategy. There are about 700
packages waiting to get reviewed. Just start a few and the chances for
your packages will improve.

 Yeah, that's come up before.  There's no great solution I'm afraid,
 one or the other will have to change

 Technically there is no need to change a name.
 In Debian, one can have two lid programs installed, one in /usr/bin
 and the other in /usr/sbin[*], so why not in Fedora?

 Apart from being confusing, it effectively overrides libuser's use of lid.

 Sure, a different solution would be better, but renaming a command like
 idutils' lid (in use by some for 15 years) does not seem reasonable.
 Right.

 Any opinions on whether this issue is big enough to NAK
 a review request or addition of the package to Fedora?
 I'm pretty sure that naming conflicts in /usr/bin have happened before
 in Fedora, I'm not sure how they were resolved.

Even in a relatively minimal system, I see many programs installed
in both /sbin and /bin, though none seem to conflict:

  $ comm -12 (cd /sbin;env ls -1) (cd /bin;env ls -1)
  authconfig
  authconfig-gtk
  authconfig-tui
  dracut
  eject
  halt
  hddtemp
  makemap
  mock
  ping6
  poweroff
  preupgrade
  preupgrade-cli
  rdistd
  reboot
  setup
  system-config-authentication
  system-config-keyboard
  system-config-network
  system-config-network-cmd
  tmpwatch
  tracepath
  tracepath6
  udevadm

Odd that some point from /bin to /sbin, and others from /sbin to /bin.
Some use relative symlinks, others use absolute.

Compare the output of these commands:
  cd /sbin; ls -og $(comm -12 (cd /bin;env ls -1) (cd /sbin;env ls -1))
  cd /bin;  ls -og $(comm -12 (cd /bin;env ls -1) (cd /sbin;env ls -1))

...
 Anyway, we can't please both sets of users at the same time.  If the
 above-mentioned reference to previous naming conflicts in Fedora does
 not result in a generally-acceptable solution, what about the
 following?

 lid is renamed in both packages to lid-libuser and lid-idutils (or
 something), respectively.  Both packages ship an alias script
 somewhere in /etc.  A new package is created, providing a /usr/bin/lid
 script, that instructs the user to add the alias to their ~/.bashrc,
 and fails.[1]
 Mirek

If cohabitation is not acceptable, that is a fine compromise that
would let us move forward.  However, it should suggest more than an
alias/function addition, because those are not desirable/useful for
non-command-line use e.g., via other scripts that invoke lid.  Instead,
suggesting to install a lid wrapper via one of these commands:

f=~/bin/lid
printf '#!/bin/sh\nexec lid-idutils $@\n'  $f  chmod a+x $f
printf '#!/bin/sh\nexec lid-libuser $@\n'  $f  chmod a+x $f

[ or use f=/usr/local/bin/lid for a system-wide choice. ]

I would also request that users who encounter the failing lid script
write to e.g., bug-idut...@gnu.org to inform us of their choice (either way),
so that eventually, if we get stats to support a move and everyone agrees
it's ok, we could phase out the always-failing lid script.

 [1] The script could also automatically run one of the lid's, if there
 were only one installed - but then merely installing a new package
 could break user's workflow, which I think is undesirable.

There is no room left on the KDE live image for installing any sort of 
debugging information by default.
   
   We could easily drop some of less-than-half-complete translations to
   make room for a bit of minidebuginfo. Last time I looked, translations,
   fonts, etc made up upwards of 25% of the livecd. Or we could just drop
   the obsolescent cdrom size limitation...
  
  I know I've said this before, but: we should break the CD size barrier
  precisely so people can't burn things to CDs.  If you must burn to
  optical media, do yourself a favor and burn a DVD, the reduced seek time
  is entirely worth it.
  
  1G fits on both the smallest MiniDVD format and most extant USB sticks.
  Let's do it already.
 
 As an ambassador and former EMEA media wrangler I tend to agree.
 
 Currently both EMEA and NA only do dual layer DVDs, both for live and
 the installer. EMEA did separate installer vor i386 and x86_64, but
 after NA had no problems with exclusively providing dual layer, we
 decided to do the same.
 
 This being said I don't care how big we grow as long as we can still fit
 all 4 desktops (GNOME, KDE, Xfce, LXDE) in 2 arches each on one multi
 desktop live image. A dual layer DVD has a maximum capacity of 8.5 GB,
 so fitting 8 x 1 GB is not a problem.
 
 We might have to drop Sugar, but if only GNOME and KDE go for 1 GB and
 Xfce and LXDE still target 700 MB or less, we should even be able to
 keep it.

I understand that you want to ship isolated images for each of the
desktops in this combination image, as that is what is tested, etc.
However, there is gonna be a lot of duplicated bits in those images.
Can't we use some form of image where the duplicated blocks can be
shared. Seems like an obvious win to me.

These are not comparable to the lid situation. They are either:

   or
 - cases where the program historically lived in one directory, then

They're not comparable to the lid name conflict between two different

Packaging Guidelines - creating tarball from VCS with script

2012-05-14 Thread Tomas Radej
Hi,

I was wondering if Packaging Guidelines could be amended so that even when 
creating tarball from VCS, using a standalone shell script would be mandatory 
(see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SourceURL#Using_Revision_Control 
). I believe this could allow easier reviews and package updates as there would 
be no need to copypaste code from comments, and checking for package's 
checksum could be (at least partially) automated for the fedora-review tool.

What do you think?

 lists some options in how to implement this, which all have
 various
 different pros and cons. I'd like to hear what peoples
 opinions on these
 are.

There is no room left on the KDE live image for installing any
sort of
debugging information by default.
   
   We could easily drop some of less-than-half-complete translations
   to
   make room for a bit of minidebuginfo. Last time I looked,
   translations,
   fonts, etc made up upwards of 25% of the livecd. Or we could just
   drop
   the obsolescent cdrom size limitation...
  
  I know I've said this before, but: we should break the CD size
  barrier
  precisely so people can't burn things to CDs.  If you must burn to
  optical media, do yourself a favor and burn a DVD, the reduced seek
  time
  is entirely worth it.
  
  1G fits on both the smallest MiniDVD format and most extant USB
  sticks.
  Let's do it already.
 
 As an ambassador and former EMEA media wrangler I tend to agree.
 
 Currently both EMEA and NA only do dual layer DVDs, both for live and
 the installer. EMEA did separate installer vor i386 and x86_64, but
 after NA had no problems with exclusively providing dual layer, we
 decided to do the same.
 
 This being said I don't care how big we grow as long as we can still
 fit
 all 4 desktops (GNOME, KDE, Xfce, LXDE) in 2 arches each on one multi
 desktop live image. A dual layer DVD has a maximum capacity of 8.5
 GB,
 so fitting 8 x 1 GB is not a problem.
 
 We might have to drop Sugar, but if only GNOME and KDE go for 1 GB
 and
 Xfce and LXDE still target 700 MB or less, we should even be able to
 keep it.
 
 This being said I am +1 for 1 GB, but please note that I only speak
 for
 myself or the NA and EMEA ambassadors.

It's probably good idea to bring it on Ambassadors list - to ask non
EMEA and NA ambassadors as they are closest to real users (and theirs
needs to distribute stuff).

R.

 Kind regards,
 Christoph

Another thing - we realized that targeting 1 GB is non sense when we
have 700 MB, so we moved to 1.5 GB. There was a little difference and
no way to put everything on it. With 1 GB target and no 700 MB it 
makes sense again (and to have the bigger one unlimited).

 However, there is gonna be a lot of duplicated bits in those images.
 Can't we use some form of image where the duplicated blocks can be
 shared. Seems like an obvious win to me.

The format of an iso9660 directory makes it easy to share entire files:
just set the first sector number of the contiguous extent.  However
the multi-session aspect of the all-in-one platter might put each
session into its own container, which might interfere with sharing
across sessions.  Intentional un-checked wrap-around comes to mind.

It's fine, so long as it's not mixed in the same software with

Re: Packaging Guidelines - creating tarball from VCS with script

 Hi,
 
 I was wondering if Packaging Guidelines could be amended so that even when

 ). I believe this could allow easier reviews and package updates as there
 would be no need to copypaste code from comments, and checking for

 What do you think?
 
Automating of the package's checksum won't work for many VCS's .  git, for
instance, does not preserve timestamps.  So the tarball created from a git
snapshot will have a different checksum for each checkout.

I personally prefer to have the checkout instructions in comments.  It makes
it easier to review what the person did and interrupts my thoughts less when
I can see what the person did to produce the tarball in the same window as
I'm looking at the spec file.  Having to open up a second file to see if the
checkout commands are hitting the canonical source repository and that they
contain enough information to checkout only a single version is
a distraction.

I agree with Toshio on this. Depending on how the VCS behaves with
checkout/cloning, it will be difficult to get predictable results in a
usable way through a script. Commenting in the spec file is the best way to
go in my opinion.

Packaging issue: what to do about debuginfo after arch-noarch change?

2012-05-14 Thread Tom Lane
I recently converted mysql-connector-java from arch to noarch (it used
to use GCJ to build, now it doesn't).  Martin Cermak pointed out to me
that if you had the debuginfo subpackage installed, and you upgrade,
the old debuginfo will still be there even though it's now irrelevant.
Is this a bug, and if so what should I do about it?

It seems to me that it's not a bug, because AFAICS there has never been
any attempt to enforce that only relevant debuginfo packages are
installed.  For instance, there isn't any Requires: at all from a
debuginfo package to its base package, let alone an exact-version-match
Requires:.

It was suggested that I could add an Obsoletes: line to the specfile
to get rid of the old debuginfo package, but this seems a bit weird
to me, and inconsistent with the fact that there aren't Requires:
linkages.

I don't see anything in the packaging guidelines that addresses the
point.  Given that we're converting most Java packages to noarch,
perhaps the issue comes up often enough to justify having a policy?

Yes. CDDL is considered to be GPLv2 and GPLv3 incompatible, so cases of
direct linking or code copying between GPLv2|GPLv3 and CDDL code result
in a pile of incompatible licenses (and effectively undistributable)
results, so they are not permitted in Fedora.

cdrtools is a particularly egregious case, which is why I added it to
the Forbidden Items list.

(To be clear, CDDL-only works that do not depend upon or link to GPL
code are okay for Fedora, even if I personally think the CDDL license is
a terrible choice.)

 installed.  For instance, there isn't any Requires: at all from a
 debuginfo package to its base package, let alone an exact-version-match
 Requires:.
 
 It was suggested that I could add an Obsoletes: line to the specfile
 to get rid of the old debuginfo package, but this seems a bit weird
 to me, and inconsistent with the fact that there aren't Requires:
 linkages.
 
 I don't see anything in the packaging guidelines that addresses the
 point.  Given that we're converting most Java packages to noarch,
 perhaps the issue comes up often enough to justify having a policy?

Hmm. I'm inclined to say that we ought to resolve this either in
anaconda or preupgrade by running some sort of cleanup script that
looks for orphan debuginfo and flushes them down the drain, as opposed
to carrying Obsoletes.

I don't think yum cares, it just sees debuginfo packages as packages
from the debuginfo repo. Debuginfo packages don't have Requires of the
base package, so they should never be breaking deps in situations like
the one above, and I'm not sure we want to be slowing down the yum
transaction to do a reaper check on every transaction (hence, preupgrade
or anaconda).

 How much effort does it take to maintain a compatibility version of

Apologies, I'm not familiar with this part of the eternal waking

Re: Another heads up for F17 upgrades from F16 (via yum)

2012-05-14 Thread Richard Vickery
Hi Adam,

TC4 won't install, and because of this, thinking that it was not supposed
to install, I was wondering what one was supposed to do with it. I realise
that my thought-process may have been wrong and it should have been
installable, but I thought I would come from that what happened was that
which was supposed to take place.

hope this helps,

 Could you clarify your question and its relationship to this thread? Are
 you having some specific problem with TC4, or are you asking for general
 information as to how to use either ISO files in general or Fedora
 installer images in particular? Thanks.

  This being said I am +1 for 1 GB, but please note that I only speak
 
 Another thing - we realized that targeting 1 GB is non sense when we
 have 700 MB, so we moved to 1.5 GB. There was a little difference and
 no way to put everything on it. With 1 GB target and no 700 MB it 
 makes sense again (and to have the bigger one unlimited).

How so?

700MB cutoff is for CDs. A 1GB cutoff is for USB sticks.

I'm still a bit baffled that a 3.5 MB increase on a 700MB live image
is considered a complete showstopper. That's one git package, for example;
I would hope that creative dependency trimming can find that space.
(Or reorganization of boot images, for example.)

Re: How can we make F17 be able to boot on Macs (with or without reFit)

2012-05-14 Thread Nikos Roussos
Some feedback from a succefull installation of F17 TC4 on a Macbook Air 13
(Model number A1369). Unfortunately the TC5 didn't boot. For TC4 we had to
change label grub option to LIVE in order to boot. Is this a typo?

Anaconda worked just fine and installation was completed succefully. Only
thing didn't work as expected is that grub overwrited OsX bootloader but
didn't create an OsX menu entry. We manually had to add a chainloader menu
entry for /usr/share/standalone/i386/boot.efi

Other than that everything seems to work great.

 Not only that - the people who have no bandwidth, the inability to boot 
 from anything larger than a CD and no USB ports that can be bootstrapped 
 from a bootloader sitting on a CD or floppy.
 
 USB has been required by Microsoft's logo program since 1999 and was 
 effectively ubiquitous on Pentium 2 before that, so the set of hardware 
 we're ruling out is at least 13 years old and more realistically 
 probably 15. We've already dropped support for x86 hardware that was in 
 production more recently than that.


Reality can differ from the press releases.  I have two running machines
that contradict the conclusions above.  Instead of 13 or 15 years,
such an effective cutoff would be closer to about 8 years.  I consider
that to be uncomfortably young to be declared obsolete, especially
when the declaration is issued at the end of a release cycle instead of
at the beginning.

The most important issue in this thread is ability to boot from USB2.0.
Although the Microsoft logo endorsement may have required USB since 1999,
USB1.1 (12Mbit/s) was sufficient in the early years, and the ability to boot
from USB also was not required at first.  In my experience, the ability
to boot from USB2.0 was not common in consumer hardware until around 2005
[see USB mass storage in  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB2.0#USB_2.0 ]
which is only 7 years ago.

Below are the details on my counterexamples.

Exactly eleven years ago in May 2001 I purchased new from Dell
an Inspiron 4000 laptop: 700MHz/550MHz Pentium III (Coppermine: sse
but no sse2), 16KB L1, 256KB L2, 64MB RAM, ATI Rage128 graphics,
10GB harddrive, CD drive, outboard floppy, 10/100 ethernet, 33.6Kb
winmodem, VGA out, projector out, serial, parallel, dock, audio in/out,
IrDA, dual PCMCIA slots, 1 PS/2, and 1 USB *1.1* port (12Mbit/s);
WindowsME [logo] installed.  The laptop was positioned towards the high end
of the SOHO (Small Office / Home Office) market.  Its outstanding feature
is a 1024x768 display panel; at the time many others were 800x600.
Over the years the machine has been upgraded to 384MB RAM, 40GB harddrive,
and USB2.0 via PCMCIA card.  With a new battery and charger it still
provides hours of use per charge.

The laptop cannot boot from USB, and the BIOS also has the 1023-cylinder
limit for booting.  None of the Fedora install .iso contain a CD-to-USB
trampoline for booting.  Thus I copy the kernel and initrd onto a small
partition that resides below cylinder 1024, and boot them specifying
root=live:CDLABEL=label.  Yesterday I used this technique successfully
to install default Graphical Desktop of Fedora 17 TC5 from 4GB USB2.0 flash
media.  Install took 80 minutes (versus 17 minutes on a 3GHz Core-i5), and
the LED for harddrive activity indicated page thrashing during only a few
packages.  Using DVD it may have taken about 3 hours or more because of time
for seeks and for spin up/down on longer packages.  Gnome3 runs acceptably
in fallback mode; XFCE runs well.  LibreOffice Writer does not lag.  So a
CD-to-USB trampoline with good Usability for booting the installer
might remove the obsolete tag on this laptop.

After the laptop, about one year later in 2002 I built a desktop using
ASUS P4B266 board: 1.6 GHz Pentium4 (Northwood: NetBurst with sse2), 2x256MB
DDR (DDR1; now 2x512MB), PATA harddrives [upgraded twice], CD drive [upgraded
to DVD], 2x USB1.1, 4x USB2.0, AGP+PCI slots, etc.  Except for being self-built,
the box qualified for WindowsME logo.  Although the hardware was still not old
in 2003/2004, the BIOS cannot boot from USB.  Only two weeks ago, both Fry's
and Newegg [leading parts sellers in USA] had a sale on 1GB DDR1 DIMM ($42.)
This machine runs Windows XP, Fedora Core 4 (with Win4Lin), and Fedora 17.
Its only detrimental factors are its louder fans (2nd generation, along with
power supply), and the current ATI Radeon 9250 graphics card [RV280; new in
2006] which Gnome3 does not support except in fallback mode.  XFCE runs well.
Not being able to boot from USB2.0 casts a shadow on this box that is otherwise
as good as new in 2003/2004, or even more recently than that in some ways.

Ahem. I think is is a really bad idea. -ng packages point to a huge

deemed a feature for Linux but a failure of Linux

Karel Zak has made clear that he is happy to merge procps into

so that common code, the development infrastructure, the build system,

There's really no point in all the bureaucracy for such a transition
if it just replaces one bad situation with another bad situation. If you
do a transition then do it right and merge procps into util-linux.

We really don't need two packages with such overlapping
functionality. Both of them had long phases in their history where they
were slowly rotting along. The best way to fight that is having a single
package from it so that this easier kept an eye on. They do very similar
stuff, they need the same expertise from the hackers and maintainers and
they should justbe one.

Really, nobody needs transitions, renames and multiple independent repos
for stuff that is very very similar in purpose and behaviour. 

I'd really like to see FESCO strongly ask the people behind procps-ng to
help working in the integration of its tools into util-linux, to make
the basic set of tools more nicely integrated rather than continue to
grow apart! There's really no point in just rubberstamping everything
people suggest. FESCO should push people in the right direction, and

Another place to check is the raw filesystem size before adding payload
and before compressing.  The unused space squashes nicely because it
was created as zero on purpose, but still can occupy a significant
fraction of a megabyte because each 128KB block is squashed separately.
Start with a filesystem that is closer to the size of the total payload.

I read this as simply a feature saying we're switching from procps upstream
X to procps upstream Y. To be honest, I'm not sure it's even worthy of a
Feature.

The -ng naming is unfortunate, but so are many other things. In fact, we're
shipping a version from this upstream already, just not the new

So, it's essentially a no-op.

The big drawback of that is that if they're just in comments, they're
not a prerequisite for creating the shipped tarball, and they will
bitrot sooner or later.  Using macros in them is one way to avoid some
cases of bitrot, but it's plain annoying because they need to be

Always creating and using an external script to create the tarball

 Karel Zak has made clear that he is happy to merge procps into
 util-linux (Karel is both upstream and downstream for u-l), and has offered
 to do the work.

Yet he told me that he is happy with procps-ng, and the revival was
very much needed.  Karel?

 util-linux is the much better place for these utilities,
 so that common code, the development infrastructure, the build system,
 the documentation scheme, the release cycle and the maintainership can
 be shared.

Why is the pairing of procps and util-linux any more special than
pairing, say, coreutils and bzip2?  Common code, development
infrastructure, documentation scheme, release cycle and
maintainership can always be shared.

IMHO common code belongs in a generally useful library for the
platform (e.g. glibc, glib2), not in some package-private git
repository in each project, where the code slowly rots.

And if /proc accesses are that generally useful to be put into a
library, that library surely should have a stable API, belong in the
procps project, and be used by other projects (including
util-linux-ng) as necessary.

 There's really no point in all the bureaucracy for such a transition
 if it just replaces one bad situation with another bad situation. If you
 do a transition then do it right and merge procps into util-linux.

What bureaucracy?  And if you look closely enough, the transition _has
already happened_, there is an actively maintained cross-distribution
shared git repo.  The old and new situations are not at all same.

 I'd really like to see FESCO strongly ask the people behind procps-ng to
 help working in the integration of its tools into util-linux, to make
 the basic set of tools more nicely integrated rather than continue to
 grow apart!

What does nicely integrated mean, really? The tools have their
documented behaviors.  Putting them into one git repo won't make them
magically more integrated - and it won't even make them magically more
maintaned; actually, two separate projects means more proud
maintainers, so it is pretty likely to mean more manpower overall.

 There's really no point in just rubberstamping everything
 people suggest. FESCO should push people in the right direction, and
 push them towards collaboration. FESCO, please steer fedora (and Linux)
 in the right direction here, that's your job!
Ignoring the obvious difficulties[1], how can FESCo push upstreams to
start or not to start work on a particular project, and how can it do
so before the project is done enough to be proposed for integration?

We had an unmaintained procps upstream and 50 Fedora-specific patches.
 Now we have a distribution-common upstream with active development.
Seems pretty close to the right direction to me.[2]
   Mirek

[1] Opinions differ on the Right Direction.  I wonder how pushing
systemd to be less nicely integrated would be received, for example
:)  Or the eternal non-technical user simplicity vs. syadmin
flexibility debate.
[2] Even introducing some F17-F18 incompatibilities to be the same
across distributions.  Great, right?

Re: Packaging Guidelines - creating tarball from VCS with script

2012-05-14 Thread Thomas Moschny
2012/5/14 Toshio Kuratomi a.bad...@gmail.com:
 Automating of the package's checksum won't work for many VCS's .  git, for
 instance, does not preserve timestamps.  So the tarball created from a git
 snapshot will have a different checksum for each checkout.

While files' modification times in a checkout may be different,
archives created with 'git archive' are stable, because git uses the
datetime of the commit for each file in the archive.

So instead of cloning the repository and creating the archive locally,
the preferred method would imho be to use a download link (if present)
of the used git hosting service for directly preparing an archive, and
to file bugs for the respective hosting service if they do not
properly use this git functionality.

You might want to add the patch for multiple idlepc values. This makes a
big difference in practice.

As far as Fedora's policy Packages which are not useful without
external bits note that there are repositories such as rpmfusion with
less strict inclusion criteria. Perhaps your package would be happier
there, whilst still making it easy for Fedora users to install GNS3.

Note that Cisco is not the world's only networking vendor and some other

  USB has been required by Microsoft's logo program since 1999 and was 
  effectively ubiquitous on Pentium 2 before that, so the set of hardware 
  we're ruling out is at least 13 years old and more realistically 
  probably 15. We've already dropped support for x86 hardware that was in 
  production more recently than that.
 
 
 Reality can differ from the press releases.  I have two running machines
 that contradict the conclusions above.  Instead of 13 or 15 years,
 such an effective cutoff would be closer to about 8 years.  I consider
 that to be uncomfortably young to be declared obsolete, especially
 when the declaration is issued at the end of a release cycle instead of
 at the beginning.
 
 The most important issue in this thread is ability to boot from USB2.0.

No, it isn't. mjg59 wrote:

So you're talking past each other. You are assuming that direct boot
from USB is the minimum. Matthew reckons bootstrapping from a CD or
floppy is fine.

 There's a modest amount of low-hanging fruit if people really cared
 about image size.  For example, here's a way to shrink the
 (uncompressed) live filesystem by 30M:
 
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812975#c4
 
 I do find the concern for difficult install scenarios to be noble, but I
 would tend to class that as a different problem from producing a useful
 live image that also happens to be installable.  But clearly the
 objection here is about doing more work more than changing the image
 size.

Well, the desktop team has said for a while that the thing they'd really
want to add to the desktop image if they had more room is LibreOffice,
but that requires substantially more than a few dozen MB. Basically,
they consider saving a small amount of room to be more trouble than it's
worth in most cases, but saving or creating a large amount of room to be
very valuable, as it would allow the re-introduction of an office suite.
AIUI, anyway. As it stands, the desktop image is actually usually
several MB under 700, but not enough to put LO back in.

Re: Installer unable to detect Geforce GTX 460 v2

I added sshd as a boot parameter after highlighting Install/Upgrade

There are still a black screen after initialization. I attempt to get 
ssh information using my laptop

and received a denied connection. Did I miss something?

If you start the install with sshd as a boot parameter, you'll be
able to ssh in to the installation environment and retrieve the logs.

The *iso may not have burned properly, now that I think of it with the info

 Er. Not only 'should have been installable', but in most tests, it is.
 If you have a problem installing it, please file a bug report with
 appropriate details. Thanks.

Component question

2012-05-14 Thread Bojan Smojver
I filed a bug recently against remmina
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=820815) which on second
look would seem to be unrelated to remmina itself, but is rather a more
generic issue affecting Gnome. Essentially, some applications that used
to start their windows with the appropriate size in F-16 (even
proprietary ones like ICAClient), now in F-17 appear to be disregarding
the size of the window and opening in almost full screen mode (the
window takes the whole workspace, but is not actually maximised).

Does anyone know which component is normally responsible for this? The
window manager? Some library?

TIA,

Re: Packaging Guidelines - creating tarball from VCS with script

2012-05-14 Thread Alec Leamas

2012/5/14 Toshio Kuratomia.bad...@gmail.com:

Automating of the package's checksum won't work for many VCS's .  git, for
instance, does not preserve timestamps.  So the tarball created from a git
snapshot will have a different checksum for each checkout.

While files' modification times in a checkout may be different,
archives created with 'git archive' are stable, because git uses the
datetime of the commit for each file in the archive.

So instead of cloning the repository and creating the archive locally,
the preferred method would imho be to use a download link (if present)
of the used git hosting service for directly preparing an archive, and
to file bugs for the respective hosting service if they do not
properly use this git functionality.

- Thomas
I don't find the reference right here, but of the top of my head git 
changes modification times when checking out a branch, but keeps it when 
checking out a commit. But the real problem is the hosting services, and 
while we certainly can file bugs on github or gitorious, we also have to 
live with them.


We just had a thread on the github tarballs with the unreasonable names 
like 1234fcd; no extension... modification time is not the only problem

Two different problems here.

The ICAClient window (although explicitly set by user) is being resized
only in mutter, caused by this silly commit:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/mutter/commit/?id=f2f500836ef217bfbd7bbf5ad54c9248cbdb7925

Metacity does the right thing and obeys the window size, as set by the
application explicitly.
