 Hello,

 Sshd(8) daemon by default allows remote users to login as root.

   1. Is that really necessary?
   2. Lot of users use their systems as root, without even creating a non-root 
 user.
  Such practices need to be discouraged, not allowing remote root login 
 could be
  useful in that.

 Does it make sense to disable remote root login by default? If so, do we need 
 to just report it to the maintainer or it would be treated as a feature?
Being a Fedora user on my personal machine as well as maintainer of a
few Fedora machines in production environment, I would gladly welcome
this. Many people do disable root login anyway. Having it default
would be a positive step from security stand point.

Hey Volker,

I'll go through your package over the weekend and review it. I hope
that would be fine.

Re: How to find out download URL for a given package through code ?

 Hi all,

 I am trying to find the best suitable way to get download URL for any
 given package ? Say, someone wants to find out download URL for
 libreoffice-calc-3.3.3.1-1.fc15.x86_64 . The user may not be on a
 Fedora 15 box. I saw yumdownloader --urls option.

 Any pointers ?

If the rpm is installed, then you can use rpm -qi package name. Don't
know if you are looking for this or not though.

Re: Anaconda memory requirements

2011-08-20 Thread Aditya Patawari
 Use the installer that is available on a Live spin, instead of using
 anaconda.

Arun, lets use live installer. Anaconda won't help in schools. Live,
anyway, has its advantages and kids/teachers can check it out before
installation.

Re: Starting Java SIG

2010-08-30 Thread Aditya Patawari
Hi,

I would love to join and contribute to any such SIG. I am a package
maintainer but I am not maintaining any Java package as of now. It would be
nice if we can help out newbies as well as other maintainers like me to
package and maybe develop java apps.

 Hi everyone,

 There has been an effort few years back to start Java SIG but it didn't
 work out in the end (no idea why). I decided it's time to try again :-)

 I would like to start Java SIG for a lot of reasons. Some of them:

  * Packaging guidelines are in need of an update (badly)
  * Consistency in java packages is somewhat lacking
  * More eyes see more approach, I'd like for all java related commits to
   go through an alias so we can all watch out for changes that can
   break our stuff
  * Have a place where we can collect tips  tricks, solutions to common
   problems etc. Currently this information is scattered through
   people's wiki pages
  * Java needs collaboration more than most other areas, because problems
   cannot be safely discovered automatically when someone changes
   dependency. This can cause serious headaches (to me at least). Java
   SIG to the rescue! :-)
  * Other languages have their own SIGs and we don't! :-)

 Who am I?
 Owner/Co-maintainer of a bunch of Java packages (mostly maven plugins,
 apache-commons, junit, velocity, checkstyle, plexus
 libraries). Involved in recent update of maven to v2.2.1.

 Reply if you're interested with helping out and being able to
 see/influence where Java packaging in Fedora is going. I know there will
 be at least a few people joining in.

 I'll be starting Java SIG wiki page soon, plus I guess we can peruse
 java-devel mailing list for SIG discussions.
