Re: Fedora 10 countdown banner

I see Due to heavy connection problems, for some day I haven't been able to read Fedora mailing list, sorry for the wait of this answer. I just would like to notice that the number 20 in this fedora10-countdown-banner.svg banner isn't aligned with arriving in ... days. I've newly checked the source of countdown banner and the number seems to be aligned...please note that for a correct visualization of the banner SVG file, you must use Inkscape. There is also not enough space for coming soon text. The problem is because in other languages this string is wider? can't say for sure :/ The difficult of image translation is to adapt the single words to the banner context. If you need it, I think you can adapt the banner text size to your language requirements. ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list -- Paolo Leoni ~ http://pleoni.altervista.org GPG fingerprint: DAD1 6419 D42B 0B1C D9E1 A9CB 4587 4812 17F7 F764 ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
new koji instance: where is the Makefile.common ?
Hi, just set up a new koji instance for our internal buildsystem (until now, we were using mdvsys/mock/createrepo and some control scripts). i've noticed the use of a Makefile.common in various documentation (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/UsingKoji, Building with make targets) i would like to have a look on that. is there any url available ? i've looked at fedora-packager on fedorahosted but the file is not there. another question: i'm using right now a subversion instance for storing all the packages stuff (all sources rpms, sources files (specs, ...) and binary rpms). the layout it the one used by MDVSYS perl module. since i've quite a lot of data in this subversion repo, is there any chance to reuse the old layout with Koji ? is koji capable of working with various SCM layout ? thanks. frederic beuserie -- Fedora-buildsys-list mailing list Fedora-buildsys-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-buildsys-list

Fedora 11 font package changes proposal (renames, splits, etc)
Hi, If you've received this message directly (not via a list) you're concerned by the font package changes proposed for Fedora 11: — the changes touch one of your packages or — the changes touch/need one component you're lead on (comps, packagedb, rpm…) Please reply to the fedora fonts list however to keep the discussion in a single place. The complete list of proposed changes is published there http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_SIG_Fedora_11_packaging_changes All is open to discussion, and it's on a wiki page, so don't hesitate to complete/correct it. This list is pretty ambitious and requires buy-in by many people to be executed properly. Not to mention that the Fedora 11 cycle will start soon. Please do respond to the list, stating: — your requests and comments (if any) — if you will change your packages along those lines for Fedora 11 — if you will allow other packagers to change your packages in your stead — if you totally object to one part of the proposal, and why Unless there is strong opposition I will apply those changes to my own packages (and to vera and liberation if their maintainers are ok with it). However, to be effective, other packagers must change their packages too. ▶▶▶ Short proposal summary: ▶ package renames, to fix the naming discrepancies that have crept in with the repository growth (different packagers followed different conventions) ▶ package splits, to offer more flexibility to spin groups and fedora users ▶ new comps groups, to group related fonts together (gfs fonts, sil fonts, etc) ▶ reminder of the ongoing fontconfig guidelines change (still waiting for fontconfig upstream to comment on) ▶ new packaging template and macros (to put in rpm? some other place?) ▶▶▶ Rationale: ▶ help spins and users Wanting serif from dejavu, mono from liberation, and sans from tiresias, without dragging in all the other dejavu/liberation/tiresias fonts is a valid setup. ▶ help packagers and package reviewers Inconsistent repository and fuzzy rules mean package reviews drag on while the kinks are ironed out, which is not fun at all for everyone involved. Much better to have clear conventions packagers can identify before hitting review stage. ▶▶▶ Proof of concept: Dejavu has been used to proof the concepts in rawhide (cf the wiki page) I hope those proposals will be agreeable to everyone.

If I turn the hinting off entirely, I get unusably blurry fonts, but the ligatures don't look misplaced. So freetype is actually the correct component to file this against (though disabling the ligatures in Pango and Qt 4 might also be a solution, we've done well for years without them, e.g. Qt 3 never used them). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list

First review pass 1. you're packaging a font with a new license. While at first view it seems ok, you still need spot to approve it and put it on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal_considerations_for_fonts 2. please follow the font packaging process outlined on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_package_lifecycle and in particular create a wiki page that describes your font and can be referenced in release notes (a wiki page template is available there http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_description_template ) 3. your fontconfig priority (59) is a little low, our guidelines states CJK fonts should be in the 65-69 range http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fontconfig_packaging_tips#Simple_priority_lists Of course Behdad has the last say on this, so if you convince him to ok it I'll let this pass. 4. your fontconfig rule is a bit more convoluted than what we usually do. It probably works but please get Behdad to review it (and ok it there). 5. please also alias the font the other way, so fontconfig knows it should use serif fonts to complete HanaMin http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fontconfig_packaging_tips#Generic_names 6. please send your fontconfig file to hanazano upstream so it's included in their next release once you're happy with it 7. you can drop the -f argument to fc-cache for releases ≥ Fedora 9 8. please use the defattr suggested by guidelines %defattr(644,root,root,755) 9. it's a little easier to review a package when the fields are in the same order as in rpmdevtool's spectemplate-fonts.spec (cosmetic, you can ignore it, just take it into account for your next font package) All in all this was a pleasant spec file to review and I'll have no problem approving it once those little problems are taken care of → NEEDINFO in the meanwhile -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list

Fedora 11 font package changes proposal (renames, splits, etc)
Hi, If you've received this message directly (not via a list) you're concerned by the font package changes proposed for Fedora 11: — the changes touch one of your packages or — the changes touch/need one component you're lead on (comps, packagedb, rpm…) Please reply to the fedora fonts list however to keep the discussion in a single place. The complete list of proposed changes is published there http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_SIG_Fedora_11_packaging_changes All is open to discussion, and it's on a wiki page, so don't hesitate to complete/correct it. This list is pretty ambitious and requires buy-in by many people to be executed properly. Not to mention that the Fedora 11 cycle will start soon. Please do respond to the list, stating: — your requests and comments (if any) — if you will change your packages along those lines for Fedora 11 — if you will allow other packagers to change your packages in your stead — if you totally object to one part of the proposal, and why Unless there is strong opposition I will apply those changes to my own packages (and to vera and liberation if their maintainers are ok with it). However, to be effective, other packagers must change their packages too. ▶▶▶ Short proposal summary: ▶ package renames, to fix the naming discrepancies that have crept in with the repository growth (different packagers followed different conventions) ▶ package splits, to offer more flexibility to spin groups and fedora users ▶ new comps groups, to group related fonts together (gfs fonts, sil fonts, etc) ▶ reminder of the ongoing fontconfig guidelines change (still waiting for fontconfig upstream to comment on) ▶ new packaging template and macros (to put in rpm? some other place?) ▶▶▶ Rationale: ▶ help spins and users Wanting serif from dejavu, mono from liberation, and sans from tiresias, without dragging in all the other dejavu/liberation/tiresias fonts is a valid setup. ▶ help packagers and package reviewers Inconsistent repository and fuzzy rules mean package reviews drag on while the kinks are ironed out, which is not fun at all for everyone involved. Much better to have clear conventions packagers can identify before hitting review stage. ▶▶▶ Proof of concept: Dejavu has been used to proof the concepts in rawhide (cf the wiki page) I hope those proposals will be agreeable to everyone.

I suppose that if kacst lets arabeyes distribute them they are not unfriendly with each other. Open Font Library likewise only re-distributes other people work, I guess the prefix in this case would mainly be there to denote some sort of oflb or arabeyes editorial work Anyway, duly noted, if more people feel karcst should not be prefixed I guess we'll make it and exception (but I'd love to have a clear simple common sense naming rule). arabeyes produce two types of fonts: core and decorative and I packed them for ojuba, here is the .spec file (attached) Some (but not all) of those fonts are currently in review: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461139 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462711 You can either work with the current would-be packager (and become co-maintainer) or submit a competing proposal (some reviews never go anywhere, unfortunately, don't wait for others to do the stuff you care about). The path to get a font in Fedora is documented there: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_package_lifecycle We mostly ask packagers to adhere as closely as possible to the official spec template, create a wiki page that can be referenced in release notes, and avoid bundling different fonts in a single package. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Annotated_fonts_spec_template When there is little deviation from guidelines reviews tend to be quick (unfortunately the reverse is also true) I would love to maintain it for the fedora New font packagers are always welcome! Your spec is not acceptable as-is, but if you're motivated I think you'll find creating guidelines-conformant spec files is not too hard.

One way that will work in any shell is:
uc() { /usr/bin/printf \\u$1; };
Then, use e.g.
echo $(uc 2639)
You can export uc from your initialization file.

You are stuck with LVM, but you still should be able to set up for a dual boot. Problem 1 is /dev/sda1 is set up as your /boot partition. You will probably need to share this which means some manual editing of /boot/grub/grub.conf. Resizing of an LVM logical partition can be accomplished via the system-config-lvm graphical LVM utility. Or you can use the nonm-graphical commands, such as resize2fs and lvm.

Re: How to enter unicode in F9
For example, there is umlaut - and that could be transliterated into `u' for example. Others may have strange looking unicode and I have That depends on the language. Unicode is just character encoding rules. You need more context to do transliterations. Not that you should need to as you can just install the relevant fonts. DejaVu has pretty good European coverage for example and is one of the standard installed fonts in current Fedora. You also have to watch the encodings. Its not uncommon to find mis-coded information in OGG and similar files where the track data is mis-encoded in one of the legacy ISO-8859 code pages not UTF-8 and that produces invalid utf-8 sequences so will be displayed as the symbol for an invalid character. no idea what it is supposed to me - so I cannot transliterate w/o knowing what it is in the first place - so how do I find out? The unlaut is sometimes obvious - but others are not. So is there a way to show this? As I said, Load the right fonts and they will be rendered correctly. I get binary icons so how do I get the unicode decimal representation so that I can match against the unicode character table to see what it is? The 'four squares' shown for an unknown symbol should each contain a hex digit which together give you the symbol code which you can look up on the unicode web site. Would it be: print \\%d, $1 ? It's UTF-8 so a variable length encoding of the full unicode symbol space. See www.unicode.org if you want to the full details but basically each symbol is encoded as a series of bytes such that C special symbol \0 is never found mid-character and so that the ASCII range of symbols for American English is mapped 1:1 with UTF-8.

I'd like to learn docbook and I think having an available example would be a good starting point. AFAIK the Fedora documentation source is in Docbook format. I don't know if that's sufficiently non-trivial. Also, I'm not clear on what the advantage of using docbook is over just using LaTeX. Depends on your needs. There's a good deal of overlap, in that they are both oriented to marking up documents according to high-level elements (paragraphs, lists, headers, figures etc.) and leaving the final appearance to a compiler. LaTeX (and TeX) are focussed on high-quality printing. Docbook is an SGML style that allows variant versions of documents for different output media (e.g. printed versus Web page). Both are cross-platform. IMHO in Linux LaTeX is more mature and probably better supported by editing tools, while SGML editing can still be a bit painful. Of course you can also generate LaTeX output from a Docbook source file. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Should i use LiveCD or DVD (from ISO). Whichever you want to. I used the DVD version. Here's some reasons for either: The DVD gives you a disc that you can do a very full installation from, the live CD is a smaller disc, so will come with less to install from the disc. The DVD is a larger initial download, but both will require updates to be run, post installation. You'd be downloading more updates for a bigger initial installation, than a smaller one. You may as well download a smaller install set, and update less, then do installations of extra stuff from the net, with the newest versions, rather than install and update the same software. You'll be downloading those extras just once, not twice, that way. The DVD can be faster to install from, simply due to data transfer rate from the medium.

Re: exclude option for rsync
One little known feature of rsync is the fact that when run over a remote shell (such as rsh or ssh) you can give any shell command as the remote file list. The shell command is expanded by your remote shell before rsync is called. For example, see if you can work out what this does: rsync -avR remote:'`find /home -name *.[ch]`' /tmp/ note that that is backquotes enclosed by quotes (some browsers don't show that correctly). not sure how to make this work. Little-known indeed--I didn't know rsync could do that.. that's really cool. So for a little more explanation, say you have a directory tree /database, and you want to sync only the files that were changed in the last ten days. You should be able to do something like the following: rsync -av REMOTEHOST:'$(find /database -ctime -10)' /local/database/mirror which would be about the same as rsync -av REMOTEHOST:'$(find /database -not -ctime +10)' /local/database/mirror The difference between using find's ctime and mtime options: mtime will only change if the actual file data has changed, whereas ctime includes both file data and metadata--permissions, ownership info, file name, etc. Hope that helps! -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

For instance, one of the hosts says up front that Fedora sucks, but yet he goes on to agree with every positive point made by the other host except for the Nodoka theme and the Plymouth fallback to text mode. Another point that had me scratching my head was the same host indicating that Fedora had a lot of features that were in Ubuntu 8.10. This is certainly true, but the differentiator is that many of these features were *built* by Fedora contributors, inside and outside Red Hat. It's important for us to keep emphasizing this fact. Overall, the Artwork team seems to be picking up great kudos for their work, which is wonderful. It would be nice, though, to see reviewers pay more attention to what's under the hood.

This is certainly true, but the differentiator is that many of these features were *built* by Fedora contributors, inside and outside Red Hat. It's important for us to keep emphasizing this fact. This is something that has be bugging me for a long time. Basically, Ubuntu X gets out just a little before Fedora X. Take the release notes for Ubuntu, they are mainly including « features » that count in the Fedora X features. Who gets the credit ? The first one to communicate about them... That was one of the goals of the feature list. Not to be competitive but communicate early on, the features we were working on and it has resulted in a number of enthusiasts and the press, using it as their primary source of changes in the upcoming releases. We could do more, of course. Writing the release summary early on, can be quite useful for example. We just need more contributors working on it.

After investigation with jackd -v, it turned out rakarrack.in_1 doesn't automatically connect to system.capture_1. Fixing that with qjackctl makes everything work. (And disconnecting it again makes Rakarrack die in pain). After spending another minute on brute-forcing sane colour scheme, I can now say Rakarrack is really neat and works great after you tame it :) You really need to make it behave well by default, though. Without it, I see no point in introducing this to normal users.

A member of the Fedora Triage Team probably did the changes to your bugs. I'll also add that if you work in a team and need a status to set when you're actively working on fixing something (so you don't duplicate work in the team), you can use the ON_DEV status for that purpose. (KDE SIG and a few other teams use this.) Note that this is not required, it's only a convention followed by some team-maintained packages.
