Weird yumex & selinux.
On a newly installed FC5, with selinux set to "Enforcing" I have some problem when updating some packages with yumex. I get some scriptlet error: error: %pre(avahi-0.6.9-8.FC5.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping avahi-0.6.9-8.FC5 error: %pre(xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.1-9.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.1-9 error: %post(tcsh-6.14-6.fc5.1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 error: %preun(avahi-0.6.9-3.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 The result is some packages have multiple versions install, other is no longer installed.: $ rpm -q xorg-x11-server-Xorg package xorg-x11-server-Xorg is not installed $ rpm -q tcsh tcsh-6.14-5.2.1 tcsh-6.14-6.fc5.1 It is only in yumex the problem exists, i yum i get no errors. (yumex uses the Yum API to do the real action). I another FC5 installation with selinux disabled i dont have these errors. Anybody got any ideas to fix there problems ???.

What we need to remove / loose is comps. Having all this info in a centralized database is stupid. The spec files should tell which group(s) the package belongs in. So that when one adds a new package, this gets done right more or less automatically (and is part of the review). Hear, hear!!! And add Suggests:/Recommends: (which is the other part of comps). +1000 +1001 ... I've just been involved with submitting a package for febootstrap to Debian [yay, build Fedora images on Debian!], and I'm reminded yet again what a good idea 'Suggests/Recommends' are. I can Suggest packages like 'filelight' for measuring the effects of image minimization, without making it a proper dependency and consequently pulling in the whole of KDE. Rich. soft-deps (Suggests/Recommends) is really hard to handle at the depsolver level. A depsolver need to now the hard ones, not stuff like 'it would look very nice to have pink bracelet to my little pony'. It is hard to make good decisions based on that, a asking the user every time is not a good solution IMO. You will need to take a popquiz every time you what to install a package. I can see that the information can be useful at a high level gui or in some kind of appstore. People there have bought 'foo' have also bought 'bar'. But at the lowlevel like rpm/yum is not very useful, because we don't have the needed infomation to make a good decision.

If the fixes were necessary to push as updates then it would have prudent to disable "smart folders" and "indexing" by default and leave it enabled in Fedora 12. Precisely. F11 is supposed to be a stable release. The sudden appearance of both smart folders and indexing was unexpected, disruptive and IMO did not achieve the desired quality level for a Fedora stable release upgrade. Jeff There is a difference between stable and static, if we have a beta of thunderbird in F11, then it expected to change between beta releases. The new search features are very cool, we should be happy someone uses the time to give us all this cool new features.

Please not that URLs have changed since my original announcement. git clone ssh://[fedoraacco...@]pkgs.fedoraproject.org/ will get you a cone via ssh, in which you can git pull and git push. The repos are the same from phase1, although I've done a few commits here and there to test things. They are not tied to the CVS repos, so changes you make here are truly throw away. Please test cloning and writing to packages and branches of packages that you would normally have write access to, or normally would /not/ have write access to. I'm interested in seeing both of those cases tried. Thanks again for your help in this project! Checked that I can checkout yumex and commit at change to yumex.spec to master and F-12 branch. Checked hat I can checkout kernel (F-10 and master) and i get a W access for kernel DENIED to timlau fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly If i try to commit some changes to the kernel.spec So it look like it work as expected.
