Re: askbot-setup command not found
Hi Anuradha, As initial work to get involved in the GSoC project AskFedora UX/UI Functionality, I'm trying to install Askbot and get familiarized with its code. Nice to see you taking efforts for this :) Please make sure you submit the GSoC proposal before the deadline. when typed the askbot-setup command, I get an error saying the command was not found. I searched the internet and found that some others also have had the same problem but I could not find any proper solution. So, did you sort out the issue? -- Suchakra -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
Re: Regarding GSoC project - AskFedora UX/UI Functionality Overhaul

I am very much into UX/UI related stuff and hence really look forward in contributing towards this project. Good to know! You are very welcome to help us out in this. While searching for a UX/UI related project for me to contribute in GSoC 2015, I came intact with the project idea AskFedora UX/UI Functionality Overhaul. By looking at the mock ups provided I was more than happy to commit myself in developing the design idea for Ask Fedora. All the best for GSoC. Please make yourself familiar with the process and contact mentors. I would be there to help if needed as well. In the source for testing in Git, it says After pulling this repository a few steps must be taken so the database is migrated and static files are generated. I need to know what are these steps so that I can start being familiarized with the code and modify it. As far as I remember, after setting up everything, I used the command line management option of askbot to do some more setup in the openshift instance. First, ssh to your instance. Then, $ cd app-root/repo/wsgi/askbot_devel/ $ python manage.py syncdb $ python manage.py collectstatic Hopefully everything works after this. If not, ping me back, I will see what I am missing here. To let you (and others) know more, we are planning a overhaul of the UI - a lot of UI will be written from scratch. Initial WIP designs of main page (mobile version) are at : http://sarupbanskota.github.io/askfedora-frontend/ and http://tuxology.github.io/askfedora-frontend/ (usually both are in sync but sometimes not). If you open this is a mobile (or scale your browser down smaller), you would see how its intended to look. We will make this repo public *very soon* as we reach a somewhat showable state :) Tentative plan : http://suchakra.in/random/redesign-plan.txt and http://suchakra.in/random/redesign-plan.pdf Once again, best of luck for GSoC. Keep on playing with askbot and getting yourself familiarized with the setup in the meantime. Please speak to the mentors as well. -- Suchakra -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
Re: Fedora scientific packaging
Hi, What do you say, Ed? If I get the package review done, will you help with bugs and maintenance? --Pete I am using RStudio actively on Fedora using the rpm they provide. Though it works just about satisfactorily for me standalone, it would really be nice to have it in our repos. I can help in testing/bugs and occasional maintenance. -- Suchakra -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
Re: Dash as default shell
Hi, On Thu, Oct 2, 2014 at 8:49 AM, Chris Adams li...@cmadams.net wrote: Once upon a time, Rahul Sundaram methe...@gmail.com said: Is it worth considering using Dash as the default (non-interactive) shell in Fedora? Other distributions including Ubuntu and Debian ( https://lwn.net/Articles/343924/) have been using dash as the default shell and Android uses mksh. While this appears to have been done primary to increase bootup efficiency (which is not relevant with systemd), it might help with security I know not of those various reasons why in Debian and friends, dash is the shell that stuck. However, I think there would definitely not be any promising/appreciable bootup boost on switching the default shells on modern systems. To be proven better (and worthy of replacing bash as /bin/sh), dash would need at least as much scrutiny. dash is roughly the same age as bash (both just over 25 years old), so newer or older isn't really a factor. As for the matter of security, I agree with this view. Such vulnerabilities on these long time stable shells may not be evident superficially. Could this be handled through the alternatives system, so that admins could choose bash vs. dash vs. whatever? In theory now, /bin/sh is not as critical to system startup with systemd (although I expect there are still scripts that called in various places). I also thought about this sometime back that it would be nice on server (or maybe even desktop) based systems to have dash and having a provision to switch is worth exploring. As for embedded systems/android, the choice of shells is not a major matter as they use highly modified and optimized versions (including shells) and the security vulnerability is usually not a prime concern there. So we may keep the others out of the picture (unless Fedora ARM is interested in this as well) -- Suchakra -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct

Re: Diagrams and images used in documentation
Libreoffice Draw works just fine too in some simpler cases. Inkscape however is more comprehensive. Libreoffice Draw can export in svg format also so that your graphic can later on be edited/enhanced in Inkscape. -- Suchakra On Fri, Apr 4, 2014 at 1:11 AM, Kushal Das kushal...@gmail.com wrote: On Fri, Apr 4, 2014 at 8:57 AM, William Brown will...@firstyear.id.au wrote: Hi, What is the software that is used to make images like : http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/FreeIPA_Guide/images/IPA_arch.png Or http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html-single/System_Administrators_Guide/images/Network_Interfaces-bridge-with-bond.png I haven't been able to find references to this, but would like to be able to use this style of images in my own documentation.

Self Introduction
Hi, I am Suchakra. I was have been previously involved in Design and Ambassadors team for Fedora but took a break from community work for sometime. But I am back now :) As I am involved in projects here with the LTTng team in my lab, I would like to package some tools which are related to their project. I would also like to co-maintain some packages which Yannick (aka greenscientist) maintains [1] Also, Yannick guided me for my first package [2]. I would be happy if some one is willing to review it or sponsor me eventually if I turn out to be a good packager ;) Apart from that I frequently come across nifty utilities from time to time which I would like to package in my free time.
