Up until now I used to use simple sysexxer to transfer sysex to my DX7. Editing patches on the DX7 is a major pain, because there is only one slider to adjust each parameter for all oscillators. Seems to me that this library will make it way easier to build apps that do what this app does for the RM50. (maybe you have plans to support other hardware ?) Yes, IMHO this library together with Perl/Tk (or GTK2-Perl if you prefer) for the GUI makes it very easy to write apps like this one, I have very little programming experience and I still managed to write this in a few weeks in my spare time (I did have basic Perl scripting experience but had never written such large GUI based app before). I might write similar apps for other synths I own in future but I don't own a DX7 (great synth!) so can't support that one. Regards, Andy

Hello,
while looking to beta1 isos pbs i saw a pb with a rpm that shouldn't
have been allowed to go in mageia cauldron. The package is freeswitch.
First the spec file is excuse me the word awful ( see
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/freeswitch/current/SPECS/freeswitch.spec?revision=328996view=markup
)
1- macro redefined
2- Use of some LIBDIR PKGCONFIGDIR macros instead of using the std
rpms macros like :
%define PREFIX %{_prefix}
%define EXECPREFIX %{_exec_prefix}
%define BINDIR %{_bindir}
%define SBINDIR %{_sbindir}
%define LIBEXECDIR %{_libexecdir}/%name
%define SYSCONFDIR %{_sysconfdir}/%name
%define SHARESTATEDIR %{_sharedstatedir}/%name
%define LOCALSTATEDIR %{_localstatedir}/lib/%name
%define LIBDIR %{_libdir}
%define INCLUDEDIR %{_includedir}
3- libs are in the main package
4- the package can break other packages like firefox as it provides
%{_libdir}/libnspr4.so
I think this package must be removed from mageia as long as its
packaging isn't cleaned and should be reviewed before being included
in mageia in the future.
Please do it for now. I'm blocked on isos since yesterday now.
WDYT ?
Regards,
D.

With Alpha3 comes the ability for the installer to upgrade the filesystem layout, but many of you (myself included) prefer upgrading via urpmi rather than the installer. While this is possible with some manual commands, it's not as trivial a task as it should be - until now!! So I've just pushed the package mageia-prepare-upgrade to mga2 core/updates_testing. This package, when installed will add a new menu option to your bootloader. Simply install this package, reboot, select the Mageia 3 Upgrade Preparation entry boot, wait while your FS is converted and then perform a urpmi upgrade as you would normally. I've not specifically tested the upgrade part, only the installation and creation of the initrd and bootloader entries in grub. I've also not done this on an mga2 machine yet but will do soon enough. I just wanted to get this package out there for anyone wanting to update their mga2 machines to mga3 a3 but not wanting to use the installer. At present there are a few limitations: 1. It requires kernel 3.3.8-2.mga2 to be installed (any flavour should work). A specific kernel version is not really 100% necessary but it does mean I can add hard requires to the package. This is only desirable to prevent the situation where users install this upgrade package but do not run it and later remove the kernel used to generate the initrd for the bootloader menu item, thus breaking it. Any smarter ideas on how to manage this welcome. 2. If you have /usr in a separate partition and have it mounted ro in your fstab, you will have to manually change the fstab to rw for the upgrade boot. Happy testing. Let me know if it kills any kittens. Please keep a backup etc. etc. Col Thanks Colin. The conversion works. But then the problem shows, we have no network. doing a urpmi --download-all --auto-update only downloads the fist 120+ rpms (the ones needed before restart-urpmi What is needed is to add some directories and then the network will start /var/run/netreport /var/lock/subsystem/network I will check after the upgrade if they can be deleted Hmm, yes, I guess after doing the upgrade the various /var/run and /var/lock folders would be nuked. In mga3 they will be created by tmpfiles but not with a simple reboot on mga2... Hmm, I wonder how best to do this... perhaps we could ship updated packages for each of the packages which absolutely *need* this to do the download... or perhaps we could just ship some essential config tweaks in the this mageia-prepare-upgrade file.

Or changing aliases order in ldetect.
With modules-init-tools, we used to pick the last alias:
// take the last one because we find eg: generic/ata_generic/sata_sil
struct module_alias *it = aliases;
while (it-next)
it = it-next;
result = strdup(it-module);
with kmod, we pick the first one (b/c that's the order that kept the same
results as with modules-init-tools, when I switched ldetect from unsupported
libm-i-t to kmod):
kmod_list_foreach(l, list) {
struct kmod_module *mod = kmod_module_get_module(l);
//if (str) // keep last one
// free(str);
if (!str) // keep first one
str = strdup(kmod_module_get_name(mod));
}
It used to works nicely but it appears that it works only good with a
patched kernel.
When we drop our patches, letect broke, reporting the wrong results
(https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8315)
We could drop that patch for good and pick the last found alias instead of
the first one in ldetect.
See:
- the patch: https://bugs.mageia.org/attachment.cgi?id=3204
- the result in lscpidrake output on unpatched kernel:
https://bugs.mageia.org/attachment.cgi?id=3205
In fact, I'm considering submiting a patched ldetect with the changed ordering
to core/updates_testing and ask people to report the difference (if any)
between:
- core/release's ldetect + kernel-desktop
- core/updates_testing's ldetect + kernel-linus

so you get rid of all cleaning done by other people without notifying
in the commit log . Please propedit your specfile.
And in addition as told this would be better to review the spec file
before submiting because it is just horrible and would need some more
work/love... but you already submited, Hopefully you removed libnspr4
but too WITHOUT notification.
you still have ;
%{LIBDIR}/libfreeswitch*.so*
%{LIBDIR}/libfreeswitch*.a
in the main package which is against all our policies and you still
use %{LIBDIR} instead of %{_libdir} ( means you reverted my cleaning
without notify it in the commit log ( not really fair )

Somehow it seems like it fails to move /var/run to /run and /var/lock to /run/lock. I would be glad if there could be a workaround for this. Here is a debug output of urpmi: # export LC_ALL=C # export LANG=C # urpmi --debug filesystem error: unpacking of archive failed on file /var/lock: cpio: rename failed - Is a directory error: filesystem-2.1.9-18.mga3.x86_64: install failed error: filesystem-2.1.9-17.mga2.x86_64: erase skipped unlocking urpmi database unlocking rpm database EXITING (pid=11661) The only way out I think would be to manually do the symlink from another install. Could you confirm that ? Actually yes, there is still a problem at present with /var on a separate partition... I need to look into that. So the latest package should mount /var in the initrd in much the same way it does with /usr (not exactly the same but I want to make the changes as unobtrusive as possible and ideally separate from the main dracut package for convenience of updating). I presume your setup is such that /var is indeed on a separate partition? In order to fix this, simply mv the folders out the way and just do the symlinks manually - it'll mess up the current boot, but a reboot should fix it. If the symlinks disappear and are replaced again by folders, then also make sure you disable mandriva-clean-var-run-lock.service as it helpfully nukes the symlinks (the update does this but perhaps it's somehow been run/re-enabled?)

If you have /usr in a separate partition and have it mounted ro in your fstab, you will have to manually change the fstab to rw for the upgrade boot. Happy testing. Let me know if it kills any kittens. Please keep a backup etc. etc. Col Thanks Colin. The conversion works. But then the problem shows, we have no network. doing a urpmi --download-all --auto-update only downloads the fist 120+ rpms (the ones needed before restart-urpmi What is needed is to add some directories and then the network will start /var/run/netreport /var/lock/subsystem/network I will check after the upgrade if they can be deleted Hmm, yes, I guess after doing the upgrade the various /var/run and /var/lock folders would be nuked. In mga3 they will be created by tmpfiles but not with a simple reboot on mga2... Hmm, I wonder how best to do this... perhaps we could ship updated packages for each of the packages which absolutely *need* this to do the download... or perhaps we could just ship some essential config tweaks in the this mageia-prepare-upgrade file. It shouldn't do any harm to do the latter and it's a bit easier on the QA folk. Humm we could just package mageia-prepare-upgrade in mga3 and add it to urpmi priority list. Thus it would also work for people who never apply updates... My 2 cents Not sure it would help. I mean users have to install it, reboot and then install the rest... Also how does the urpmi priority list work? Does that not require that we install urpmi first? If so that likely won't work as there is a chicken and egg scenario that prevents the rpm+urpmi from mga3 being installed until the fs is updated. Basically, a fully up-to-date mga2 (including rpm package and the mageia-prepare-upgrade package) + reboot for preparation is needed for a urpmi-based upgrades to work.

Re: [Mageia-dev] [soft-commits] [6620] obsoleted by pod-syntax.t
On 9 December 2012 17:21, Guillaume Rousse guillomovi...@gmail.com wrote: No, I want pod errors to be found prior submitting them. And I don't want to manually run several tests. Before all I had to do was to run make test and it reported me any errors before commiting. Now it doesn't anymore. make test TEST_AUTHOR=1 or drop the conditional in the tests. so what's the difference with the older test? You lamented old test didn't work standalone if blib wasn't created but eventually in both cases, you need to run make test Well, if that mean less quality testsuite and if you refuse to answer reviewing, I'll eventually revert those or at least put back the old working pod test. Just revert. Or try to show minimal interest in external contributions, instead of plain hostility. what? you added tests w/o any doc nor useful commit (initial import) When I told you they overlap existing tests, you claim existing ones don't work and you just wip them w/o communicating. I then show you that: 1) old one works and do fine issues when there'se one before committing or releasing 2) new ones silently don't work (only found by accident when looking at make test output 3) you claim new ones work by passing magic undocumented env variable when they don't So what's the interest of your new tests? The only change is that I silently cannot see newly introduced errors. What's the use to the maintainer? So I did show interest in external contributions and as usual I do peer review. This has enabled others to take interest in various pieces of our tools. But you failed to answer my questions when I made some observations and when I showed you old tests worked whereas new ones don't. Same when I asked you to add the needed BR to the spec file in order to ensure next version upload would work. Your only answer is to attack me whereas I'm pointing at actual facts. So please stop trolling aka personal attacks and explain to me how disabling tests for maintainers (aka making them not working w/o some magic undocumented/uncommunicated variable) is contributing? I just want pod-syntax.t to be always run. So eventually the pod syntax new test is just the old one but less readable and not working by default: - some magic values testing in order not to be run - using English in order to rename variables - replacing use by require+import It would just have been simple to ask before, hasn't it?
