[Mageia-dev] looking for a mentor
Hi, my name is Yves-Gaël aka hurdman ( on the french mageia chan). I have used Mandriva before mageia a long time ago for server and desktop. Some of the french team has known me as nantes_geek. I ever made some unofficial package for mandriva ( on distrib coffee people's section). I have a mirror for mageia (mageia.r0b0t.fr) and i begin to port to mageia a mandriva-based gpl3 project for educational purpose (phoenixedu => the forge will be open soon). Now, i have got time to package some soft for the community but i have never learned how build a good rpm ;) So, if someone has some time for me , i can become his apprentice. I hope i can contrib a bit ;) many thanks, hurdman

I am using this x11-server version in 3.1.4-server-2.mga2 kernel, but I am without 3d acceleration. Some idea?

But now looking more closely, in contrib is the engine and in non-free is the data :( Please remove it or move it to non-free, I'm sorry I didn't check this deeper :( Also we could install it in the same way I'm preparing other games based on ioquake3 engine that have non-free data, by including ioquake3 engine in core/release and autodownloading game data at first run: https://mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/2011-November/009862.html -- Juancho

[Mageia-dev] ANN: x11-server 1.11.2 landing
Hi, I'm starting to push x11-server 1.11.2 to Cauldron now so we can get it tested in Alpha2 x11-server-1.11 has been in core/updates_testing for ~2 months so it's time for all to test it. All drivers will be rebuilt after the server is built so just wait for all the builds to finish... Those nVidia and AMD proprietary drivers that supports 1.11 series server are already in the repos. And ldetect-lst-0.1.297-1.mga2 (released 2011-12-03) is updated to assign correct drivers according to if they support 1.11 series or not. -- Thomas

Yeah this is probably just udev not liking the fact that mkinitrd does not setup /run as a tmpfs mount. Dracut runs udev from the initrd and thus setups up /run etc. So please try installing dracut and regenerating the initrd: dracut -f /boot/initrd-3.1.4-desktop-2.mga2.img Make sure you have a working initrd saved just in case you need it before running this command: e.g. cp /boot/initrd-3.1.4-desktop-2.mga2.img /boot/arg.img This way you can always edit your grub command to specify this initrd manually in the case of a hideous failure! We'll likely be forcing dracut on people pretty soon anyway and might drop mkinitrd completely from mga2, so it's worth giving us feedback if you can :) Cheers Col -- Colin Guthrie colin(at)mageia.org http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited http://www.tribalogic.net/ Open Source: Mageia Contributor http://www.mageia.org/ PulseAudio Hacker http://www.pulseaudio.org/ Trac Hacker http://trac.edgewall.org/

The current system needs a rework to be able to accept packages submitted from cauldron to 1/backports_testing while forbidding submit from cauldron to 1/updates_testing Back in september I had proposed 2 solutions : - the current proposal from tmb, which I support (but which requires a change in the policy as it is currently defined) - allowing to submit anywhere from cauldron (and have QA verify that the packages have been submitted from the right branch, and burn publicly packagers who submit from cauldron to updates_testing) Both would require little tweaking to the build system.
