I've used parsecvs a lot.
Over the course of converting the likes of coreutils, glibc, emacs,
diffutils, gzip, grep, etc. I've made a number of changes to fix
NULL-dereferences, adapt to evolving GIT APIs and to remove at least
one performance bottleneck that dramatically sped up the conversion
of glibc.  I've even added a testing framework and a test case (the
first!) and pushed another that was contributed privately.  All local,
but I'd rather share.

Does anyone know of a public and *maintained* repository for parsecvs?
I've looked numerous times (as recently as a few weeks ago), and tried
to contact Keith Packard, hoping he would still be maintaining it,
but have had no luck.

I'd suggest creating a fedorahosted project for it, or something similar.
I think there are many random versions of it out there and starting a
project to try and consolidate would be great.

Wrong list. VirtualBox is part of RPM Fusion, not Fedora.

As for me, I don't mind publishing my real email address but I would prefer 
not to have my fedoraproject.org alias published where the spammers can find 
it. I don't particularly like having forwarding aliases created for me, but if 
you have to give me one then please don't publish it.

I have a spam blocker that makes my address pretty much unspammable. It's 
unspammable even if the spam comes through a forwarding alias, but in that 
case backscatter may be generated. The spam blocker is implemented such that 
my own server never sends out backscatter, but I naturally have no control 
over the fedoraproject.org server or other forwarding servers. Therefore I try 
to avoid using forwarding aliases in ways that might allow spammers to find 
them, not because it affects me but to be nice to other netizens who don't have 
as effectual spam blockers as I have.

Re: Help wanted with dist-cvs to git conversion

2009-12-12 Thread Sir Gallantmon
I have only successfully pushed up one package, but I'll tell you that I
don't like having my personal email address attached to it. An fp.o email
address alias would be preferable to me. I can immediately have my account
filter all emails sent to fp.o and deal with it there.

It makes me somewhat uncomfortable to have my personal email address
floating around unprotected in the internet. I am aware the same thing
happens when I post in a mailing list, but it's somewhat protected there.

Kristian Høgsberg has a repo for the changes he made and used for gnome
conversion: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~krh/parsecvs   It is slightly
newer than Keith's repo.

 File a bug please, attaching your xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log and output of

Right, we still in progress (e.g. VBox 3.1 is failing to load FC12 with ACPI, 
and it can't load
Windows Vista and 7/EFI) but with VBox 3.1 with manually edited config runs 
FC11(i386/x86_64)
fine.

I guess real EFI systems has proprietary  drivers + corresponding drivers, e.g. 
nvidia, 
and there're no serious reasons to use vga bios.

About rawhide, could you please give me some pointers on ISO images, 
instructions for kernel compilations (looks like it bit different from 
compilation of 
vanilla kernels)?
