 Hi friends,
 i looking in svn repo for some solution about KVM web management

 I used, for a little virtual cluster, VirtualBox + VbTool +
 phpVirtualbox (all presents in our repo).
 
 For KVM there is great virt-manager for cli gui but nothing for web gui.
 
 Searching online i saw:
 http://www.openqrm-enterprise.com
 http://www.ovirt.org/Home
 https://www.webvirtmgr.net
 http://archipelproject.org
 http://karesansui-project.info/
 https://code.osuosl.org/projects/ganeti-webmgr
 
 packaging of some of these is difficult for dependencies not already in
 our repo, perhaps ganeti could be more simple to package (in repo
 missing only 2 packages: python-whoosh and django-fields) 
 
 what do you think about ?
 Would we have a web management solution for KVM in Mageia ?

I started packaging ovirt, but on my Mageia 2 system, and I got stuck on
a java dependency. I should probably import the packages that succeeded
so far.

  Log Message

 provide need /var/run/nscd in nscd package otherwise nscd failed to start

 Nope, wrong fix...

 if there is something wrong, it must be fixed in SOURCE9 (nscd.conf)
 as /run (to wich  /var/run point at) is a tmpfs

 There is no /var/run/nscd in nscd.conf but:

 /var/run/nscd/socket: No such file or directory
 Jan 08 19:23:30 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: nscd.service never
 wrote its PID file. Failing.

 Indeed it's a tmpfs. Obviously this directory exists on my laptop, don't
 know how but on my freshly installed cauldron it does not.

 I suspect /var/run/nscd/ is the path also used by glibc to find the nsdc
 socket.
 There is no option in nscd.conf to change it according man page.

 I just revert my changes, feel free to fix.
 
 There isn't any fix needed as far as I can tell. It was fixed a long,
 long time ago by adding /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/nscd.conf to the package
 which is what Thomas was referring to I believe and it very much does
 refer to /var/run/nscd directory.
 
 Not also that as mentioned to you previously on this list, you should no
 longer package any files in /var/run, /var/lock and /run and instead use
 tmpfiles for this. rpmlint should even reject any such packages with
 such files. Unless I've messed up the rpmlint. Did glibc get through the
 build system like this or was it never submitted?
 
 In order to debug this specific problem, can you check systemctl status
 systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service Has this run correctly at boot?
 
 Perhaps the main problem is actually that nscd was installed and then
 you tried to start it immediately without rebooting? It seems that nscd
 package is missing a call to the necessary tmpfiles macro in it's %post
 to ensure that systemd-tmpfiles --create nscd.conf is run such that
 this is supported. Can you confirm if you rebooted after installing nscd
 or not so I can put my mind at rest as to what the actual problem is?
 
 More info about the tmpfiles calls and macros here:
 https://wiki.mageia.org/en/System_Service_policy
 
 as you can see the missing call in %post nscd is simply:
 %_tmpfilescreate %{name}

Actually, it's %_tmpfilescreate nscd due to it being a sub package.

Correct fix should be:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revisionrevision=343643


If it looks good, feel free to bump and push :)

As a final amendment to the RPM group policy for Mageia 3, the following
changes were made yesterday:

- creation of Games/Simulation
- Graphics/Editors renamed as Graphics/Editors and Converters
- Graphics/Other renamed as Graphics/Utilities
- Office/Other renamed as Office/Utilities
- removal of Sound/Visualization
- creation of Video/Television

The renames will be handled by scripts, so do not worry about them.
However, feel free to use the two new groups: Games/Simulation and
Video/Television.

I remind you that the policy is at:

There are many ways...

If you are lucky you will have *.old initrds so just edit your grub
prompt to use initrd.img.old rather than initrd.img (via text mode in grub)

Failing that, boot with a rescue dvd, chroot into your install and force
the install of util-linux from mga2. Then regenerate your initrd.

Failing massive filesystem corruption it's almost always possible to
rescue things - just takes varying degrees of effort! :)

I think it's probably the same as release freeze. That's when we all
have to justify pretty much everything. Until that point we can all
break things via provides/requires as much as a new package so I think
this is the correct point to call a cut off for new packages (of course
exceptions can always be made - the main risk with new packages is that
they provide something (in the spec) that is also provided by another
package and thus are pulled in accidentally - if this can be shown to be
very unlikely to cause problems for a given package then it could get an
exception. Obviously we should not encourage this :)

We all assume that, with a boot cd, live dvd, you can mount your root 
partition /somewhere


ls -trl /somewhere/boot/

and try to find a initrd-x.x.x which has been generated before the bug. 
In my case, I got:


initrd-3.6.5-tmb-desktop-3.mga3.img

and I have also the kernel

vmlinuz-3.6.5-tmb-desktop-3.mga3

(thanks to master tmb)

Now add a new entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst referring to compatible 
versions of initrd (not corrupted) and vmlinuz (be inspired by the ones 
already written in this file)


Reboot et select these ones.

If this was a previous kernel installed on this partition, then your 
menu.lst should already have a version-specific entry for it.  Try 
booting that directly without modifying anything.  Also, bug 8614 for 
all this was just fixed.



If you change menu.lst, you also have to execute /boot/grub/install.sh,
else it does not have any effect.


I used to think that, but was recently corrected by Barry Jackson, and 
found that it wasn't the case, at least for modifying labels and such.  
Maybe there's something special about the kernel/initrd specifications, tho.

Thanks Olivier to look at this pb.

I've just locally rebuilt file-5.11 and your new file-5.12-5.

It's better, but file-5.12-5 still mis-detects some script files; I can 
see that some Perl or shell scripts are reported as 'assembler source 
text' with 5.12-5.

eg.
file -v; file /usr/bin/autoconf /usr/bin/automake /usr/bin/iurt
file-5.11
magic file from /usr/share/misc/magic
/usr/bin/autoconf: POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable
/usr/bin/automake: Perl script, ASCII text executable
/usr/bin/iurt: Perl script, ISO-8859 text executable, with very long 
lines



file -v; file /usr/bin/autoconf /usr/bin/automake /usr/bin/iurt
file-5.12
magic file from /usr/share/misc/magic
/usr/bin/autoconf: POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable
/usr/bin/automake: assembler source text
/usr/bin/iurt: assembler source text


It's very annoying because /usr/bin/file is used by find-requires and 
find-provides, and if we do the mass rebuild with a broken 
/usr/bin/file, we will build some rpms with incorrect provides and requires.

If you change menu.lst, you also have to execute /boot/grub/install.sh,
else it does not have any effect.
No, menu.lst just affect second part of the bootloader (stage2), whereas 
/boot/grub/install.sh installe the firsts part (stage1) on the MRB (or 
elsewhere). That's one of the main interest of grub vs lilo.


Also, if you just have to boot once, you don't have to first boot on 
some rescue system to change menu.lst, there is an interactive shell 
where you can freely set every parameter needed to boot.

 build with -fPIC on x86_64 too (pok, mdv)

 Why?
 
 -fPIC should already be used on x86_64 or you'll get sooner or later in
  troubles (for instance when linking libs). I think that any sane build
  script should already default to -fPIC on x86_64 but some other weird
  build script may not. (rtp)

I have to strongly disagree with this.

- This hides problems in build scripts. Shared libraries should normally
  be linked with -fPIC on *all* architectures. Not doing this causes
  some issues, like the library to actually become unshareable across
  different processes. Since these are allowed in iX86 but not on
  x86_64, building all objects on x86_64 with -fPIC will hide any
  missing -fPIC from build script issues.
  Note that there can't be very many problematic failing packages, since
  we and mdv have managed this far without it.

- It is not needed except on shared libraries, and will cause a small
  performance penalty (due to one less register being available when
  using relative addressing). (AFAIU it is negligible, but still..)

- Other major distros (not counting MDV) do not do this

[Mageia-dev] Freeze push: lcov

2013-01-09 Thread Kamil Rytarowski

Hello,

lcov 1.9 isn't working with the current GCC, upgrade to 1.10 fixes it.
Fedora uses a patch against 1.9 [1], not needed anymore with the current 
version.


Please push this package.

 You can run PHP with apache2-mpm-worker with mod_fcgid and php5-cgi or
 php5-fpm.
 
 This is what Debian Wheezy's README file for php says:
 
 Using PHP 5 with threaded webservers (e.g. apache2-mpm-worker)

   After much back-and-forth with upstream (and even building our
   packages thread-safe for a while), we're currently admitting defeat
   on that front, and are NOT building any thread-safe versions of PHP
   5 for any webservers. Our recommendation is that, if you need to use
   a threaded webserver, you should use php5-fpm and interface to your
   webserver with FastCGI.
 
 
 
 I think Mageia is hurting itself by enabling too experimental features.
 Another example is the uas kernel module, of which I saw a complaint
 recently in this mailing list. This module is known to be buggy, and
 disabled in Debian.

Would you mind to provide some help on how the run apache-mpm-worker with php 
NTS?
