And eventually may lead to packagers stopping to contribute to the Fedora Project. I do not wish to be used as a medium for a fight between a stubborn Font Guideline Evangelist and a stubborn upstream. If it's upstream's decision not to adjust their code then that's the way it is. If the package does not cause any unexpected behavior by not following the Font Guidelines there is nothing further I as a package maintainer am required to do.

OpenSER / Kamailio
Hi there, I'm just starting to play with my SIP Phones using OpenSER. I was wondering why there have been no updates to the OpenSER package since it was renamed to Kamailio in version 1.4.0? I did however notice that version 1.4.0 in fact is of an earlier date than version 1.3.4 (which still is named OpenSER and is in Fedora). So is there an actual difference between OpenSER and Kamailio - other than the name - that prevents us from replacing the OpenSER package with a Kamailio package. Or is it just that nobody has submitted a review request for Kamailio yet?

Imagine an application, which relies on a specific kernel module. This module is not a part of stock Fedora kernel (at least, yet), and we don't allow stand-alone kernel modules.

From: Ralf Corsepius rc040...@freenet.de To: Development discussions related to Fedora fedora-devel-list@redhat.com Date: 14.10.2009 17:29 IMO: no. Packages in Fedora should just work and therefore must not rely on anything which is not in Fedora. From the opposite POV: Why should we make peoples' lives harder getting the tools they need? Example: Somebody without the DAHDI Kernel Modules would probably not try to use the DAHDI Tools since he probably won't even know what it's good for. However It makes things easier for the people who do know what DAHDI is to have tools to use their DAHDI hardware (they compiled/got the Kernel modules for) just a yum install away.

Re: Development packages for Thunderbird/Sunbird
Original Message Subject: Development packages for Thunderbird/Sunbird From: Henrik /KaarPoSoft hen...@kaarposoft.dk To: fedora-devel-list@redhat.com Date: 09.10.2009 18:20 I would like blueZync to work on Fedora too (currently developing on Debian and Ubuntu). Me too. I did start a packaging effort some time ago and caused a little disaster by updating libsyncml to a newer version to build blueZync. Our problem was that nothing else could be built against the new version of libsyncml. As far as I can see, not such -devel packages are available for Fedora 11 or 12. That is correct. Can anybody guide me as to how to kindly request such packages for Fedora? The best would be to file a bug against both thunderbird and sunbird and kindly state what you would need for building blueZync. If you as the developer did that, that would be great. As soon as the development files are available I'd be glad working with you on getting blueZync into Fedora.

More and more I see a system loaded down with GUI apps that are crashing. I run my server with Fedora and didn't have any incidents of crashing yet. My installation is completely X and GUI free (I used the Kickstart from the AOS spin to install).

That's just so paradoxical... After all Red Hat is not a desktop but a server, right? And Chrome could kill current races to find a desktop to compete with Windows. So why not concentrate on what Red Hat/Fedora does best? Let Ubuntu grind out Gnome and KDE enhancements. How often does Solaris release desktop distros? Are you serious? Fedora is a community driven project. The community decides the direction it wants the distribution to go. And it is also true that Fedora is upstream to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. However even RHEL is not server-only. RHEL also makes a great desktop client in an environment where long term support is needed. Also: I _want_ to use Fedora as a desktop. And I also _want_ to use it as a server. At the Moment I see no problem in that. Why can't there be both in your opinion? Letting Ubuntu grind out the desktop stuff doesn't make sense. Do you want to kick out all the guys doing great work on desktop stuff and send them to Ubuntu? And to answer your last question. Solaris releases their desktop distro every six months, just like Fedora. They then call it OpenSolaris, also a community-driven project.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] New Mixer Handling in PA 0.9.16/F12
Let me take the chance to thank you, Lennart. Even though PulseAudio has always been a controversial topic and there are many negative feelings about it I still think I am not the only one who really enjoys the new audio and volume control features Fedoa offers. It has really made my life easier and is a big step forward towards a user-friendly desktop environment. I think many people who don't actually know how to use a mailing list and just use PulseAudio et al. think the same. Lennart, I think you are moving things in the right direction and I would like to thank you for all the hard work you have put into PulseAudio. I think you have the kind of thick skin that is required to make fundamental changes in this environment ;-) Felix -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
