Re: [Mageia-dev] svnweb doesn't seem to show commit log edits

No, there is just a cronjob that sync every 5 minutes : /usr/bin/svnsync synchronize file://$name It doesn't seem to have a way to resync changelog, according to the help of the software. The faq speak of using svnsync copy-revprops, http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/notes/svnsync.txt, not sure if this is not a costly operation ( or one that will take more and more time with a growing repository :/ ). -- Michael scherer

What is the timeframe of this move ? ( and I would not wait for nvidia/fglrx personnally ). I would also not put in core/testing, as i doubt people use this. just upload to core/release directly, or say i upload and will put in release after 1 week. -- Michael scherer
[Mageia-dev] RPM5 AND MAGEIA
Hi to Mageia I am part of rpm5 (but I follow rpm from more than 10 years) and recently I did join Mageia, although I almost always used for work other distros and OS (AIX, SVR4) that I also deal with Mandriva and security (CEH) https: / / www.redhat.com/wapps/training/certification/verify.html?certNumber=805007215126804verify=Verify Apart from the rest - of which i will ask for sponsorship when it will be - I wanted to know if there are plans to move to rpm5 by Mageia, such as Mandriva has been doing lately. Rpm5 already has a builtbot with Magela and rpm5. I can, if you can think useful or have plan for this, lay the necessary modification to enter into rpm5 Mageia, with the features of Mandriva cooker - fingerprint, syslog, etc. without trademark ecc- and produce a first rpm rpm5 for mageia , which also contains the functionality required by the passage to the RPM ACID feauture (berkeley db conversion) is there interest? Then if someone wants to directly participate in rpm5 I think that there should also be no problem. Opinions ? TIA Regards

For now, Mageia won't move to RPM5, according to the decision made at that time. We would move to RPM5 when everything is settled down, maybe 1 or 2 release after, to reconsider moving to RPM5.

BTW Mageia packagers team is for now quite small and focused in building first stable version which means importing and working on needed packages to be imported. We are already lacking mentors among official packagers. So I guess rpm5 is not for now a priority given the size of pending todo list. Also If we do have a look on it, we will for better have a team on it rather than one guy to avoid single point of failure. Cheers Opinions ? TIA Regards -- Anne http://www.mageia.org

TIA I have no opinion about rpm5 vs rmp.org as i don't really know the differences, but as it may help you, i looked for old discussions about it.

Thanks for the help !

[Mageia-dev] Installs
After some back-and-forth in MDV bug https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=62374 , it comes out that MDV no longer intends to support boot.iso or isolinux installs, except as a low-priority item. So I just thought I'd ask here whether we intend to continue to support this type of install.
Re: [Mageia-dev] Installs
They dropped older app due in part to ... it is in perl ... Did all the perl-focused devs leave Mandriva? Aren't most of the Mandriva-unique tools in perl?

Olivier Blin wrote: It is planned to keep supporting DrakX installer + drakxtools in Mageia, as you can see in alpha1 That's good to hear. I always thought the MDV install with all its options was one of the best parts. I realize that we had only an ISO, and while I test-installed that, I didn't bother with the MDV TP, so I wasn't sure if there was a difference in the underlying technology.
