The death of rhpl
We're hoping to be able to not ship rhpl for Fedora 12 -- this isn't something which is really a "feature", but it might be something that a heads up is useful for. Anyone who has a package with a dependency on rhpl should have a bug filed, 98% of them with patches, to switch to using something else. If you are using rhpl and *don't* have a Requires: rhpl in your spec file (or are using it for something not in Fedora), here's the replacements for the things which were commonly used * rhpl.translate -> Use python's gettext module. It's a lot more functional these days. rhpl.translate was a good idea 7 years ago, but not anymore :) * rhpl.ethtool -> python-ethtool provides a module with similar/the same API * rhpl.exception -> Chris Lumens has split out a new package python-meh which includes the exception handling capabilities from rhpl with the added support for filing to bugzilla like anaconda does * rhpl.keyboard* -> these now live in system-config-keyboard Jeremy -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

With this, you get an exception handling dialog that'll be consistent across programs and offers the ability to save tracebacks straight into bugzilla. And it should be fairly easy to get started with, too. It's the same thing we've had in anaconda for a long time now, just broken out for everyone. If you have any questions, feel free to mail me. - Chris -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
