Re: Proposal: fedora-release-rawhide subpackage
2010/1/7 Kevin Fenzi ke...@scrye.com: Greetings. I'd like to propose splitting out the /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo file into a fedora-release-rawhide subpackage which is NOT installed by default or shipped on the live media. I wrote up this using the Feature template, but I don't guess it's really that much of a feature: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/RawhideRepoSubpackage (except in that it needs coordination across the distro and docs updates, etc). Thoughts? (either here or the talk page of the above wiki link). Thanks, kevin You must do a lot more Fedora user support than I do; is it really a frequent occurrence that users unwittingly enable Rawhide and screw up their systems?

Re: Switching python-setuptools to distribute
2009/10/12 Toshio Kuratomi a.bad...@gmail.com: I've been a comaintainer of the python-setuptools package for a long time and recently became the owner when icon relinquished it. It is currently a tumultuous time for distributing python modules with a new and active maintainer for distutils inside of the python stdlib and a fork of setuptools being worked on. That fork is named distribute and there are two branches of development on it. The 0.7 branch aims to implement API, metadata, and other features that will make packaging python modules for upstream building and distribution easier while being more concerned with the effects this has on Linux packagers. The 0.6 branch intends to be compatible with the current seutptools package but to fix bugs and introduce features that are backwards compatible and oft requested. This branch is being actively maintained by a core group of five committers including the new distutils maintainer. By contrast, setuptools is maintained by a single maintainer who often has little time to work on it. When installed, the 0.6 branch takes over the setuptools and pkg_resources python modules. The reasoning is that distribute-0.6 provides the same API as setuptools and is meant to replace it. If the module was installed differently, consuming code (all the setup.py modules in any setuptools using package as well as code that relies on setuptools features at runtime) would all need to change their import statements to use the new names explicitly. This choice is being made upstream by the distribute project. Upstream, the python community has viewed the fork favorably but since it's not part of python proper, the only one with say in the matter is the setuptools author. He has not been willing to abandon the setuptools module but at the same time hasn't gained any more free time to work on setuptools. Several other Linux distributions (gentoo and arch) have started shipping distribute-0.6 as the source of their setuptools package. I am thinking of doing the same for rawhide and pushing the change to older Fedora releases if bugs are reported that are fixed in distribute but not in seutptools as having a responsive upstream that cares about distribution packaging issues is a great plus for us. I raised this plan on fedora-python-devel and received one positive comment and no negative feedback so I'm just mentioning it here so a broader audience can ask any questions or raise any issues before putting this into effect. -Toshio I was unaware of all this. Is there a reason why the setuptools author will not grant commit rights to others?

Re: PPC/PPC64 disabled in Koji for dist-f13
2009/10/1 Kevin Kofler kevin.kof...@chello.at:
Jeff Garzik wrote:
Was ppc really such a burden?
Yes. It slowed down builds, and it often triggered bizarre build failures
which were NOT bugs in the program, but in the toolchain or in some core
library like glibc, which in turn delayed important updates to the affected
packages.
In fact, my favorite ppc64 issue was a problem with OpenBabel hitting a
limitation in the ppc64 toolchain: there's a table of contents which can
grow only to a small fixed size, so large compilation units just don't
compile on ppc64, while being perfectly valid C/C++ and compiling fine on
all other architectures. (And that's already with the minimal TOC. Without
it, the limit is for the whole executable!) OpenBabel's SWIG-generated
bindings exceeded that limit. We were the only ones hitting it as no other
distribution is insane enough to build their packages for ppc64. (The
binaries don't even get actually used as ppc32 is the preferred multilib on
64-bit PowerPC!) I played around with both compiler and SWIG flags to reduce
the amount of TOC entries, which worked for 2 beta releases (requiring
additional tweaking for the second one), but then it overflowed again. This
was a big annoyance because the new OpenBabel betas were required for new
kdeedu betas in Rawhide, so this stalled our KDE work. In the end, upstream
removed some things from their bindings to get them to build, a quite
suboptimal solution. IMHO the ppc64 ABI is just completely broken and needs
to be redesigned from scratch.
Kevin Kofler
Nice bug; this one is my favourite:
https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/1308 -- PPC64 noarch builds
don't expand %{_libdir} to the correct place.
You absolutely *cannot* build Eclipse plugins on ppc64 hosts because
of this beauty. The current workaround is to just keep resubmitting
the build until Koji picks an i386, x86_64 or ppc host. (Nothing to do
with Eclipse either, BTW, seems like an RPM or mock problem.)

Eclipse is an archful package and that plonks files in %{_libdir} that

So I want to use threads and that's where I found the catch. Here is my idea: 1. client calls remote method foo() over dbus 2. daemon receives the call, creates the thread and let it do the work in background and serve other requests 3. when the work is finished send reply to the client - this is the part where I'm stuck, because I want to send the reply as return message to the matching method call, but the method call already returned when I started the thread. (So far I can achieve this by sending signal with return value as an argument, but I don't think this is a good solution). I use dbus-c++, so maybe the answer is in some low-level DBUS API.

In general, all you need is a sponsor. The usual route to that is via the submission of new packages, but it's not the only way. I happen to be a sponsor, so that's not an issue. What is an issue is that fact that the horde suite is somewhat delicate and security sensitive, and not really the best set of packages for a first-time packager. This is somewhat offset by the fact that the packages already exist and just need maintenance. Yeah, I figured as much. There are a few other packages I wouldn't mind helping out with all in all but without submitting a package for review it seems I'm coming at this a bit sideways... I think that if you're interested, you should start by requesting watchcommits and watchbugzilla on at least the Fedora branches of those packages. (I have no desire to maintain the EPEL5 branch, so someone else needs to step in to take care of that one.) The URLs are: Ok, well I could definitely use the EPEL5 packages as I up to now have been installing them on CentOS 5 servers manually. Then help Jason maintain the EPEL branches by sending him spec file patches, re-basing Fedora carried patches to new versions, etc. Submitting patches is great alternative way to prove yourself for getting sponsored. -- Mat Booth www.matbooth.co.uk -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
