Re: [opensuse-factory] Can't add Full-Qualified-Hostname to hosts file using yast2
Hi James, In the /etc/hosts file on opensuse 10.2, I have the Full-Qualified-Hostname on my machine in like this: # IP-Address Full-Qualified-Hostname Short-Hostname 127.0.0.2 my_hostname.my_dns my_hostname This was not the case with 10.3 after I installed it - so I tried to add it (for reasons I won't go into here). I can add a Full-Qualified-Hostname (in the form of the line above) manually via the command line but I can't using yast2 by running DNS and Hostname with the Change Hostname via DHCP and Write to Hostname to /etc/hosts options selected. Please file a bug and assign it to me. As there is a new feature in 10.3 (Enable defining different hostname for each static IP address), the way how hostnames are written to /etc/hosts has been changed. It seems that I've moved around more code than it was necessary :( Cheers B. -- \ Katarina Machalkova \\\__o YaST developer __\\\'/_ hedgehog painter signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

[opensuse-factory] Re: BulletProofX - a critical feature request for openSUSE
BulletProofX can really enlarge our user base to lots of new Windows users alike. It is very important to test this technology, and later integrate into our OS. You haven't read Benji's mail, have you? I'll quote to make it easier for you: Ubuntu's bulletproofX is mostly hype as they're just utilising an existing functionality of GDM, but it would be nice to have the same functionality. So in order to test and integrate, you'd first have to implement the same functionality in a way suitable for openSUSE. Volunteers anyone?

That's ok, but it should have been clarified at the beginning of the development stage, I think. Now, 17 days before the release, it is probably too late to get them fixed for 2.20, which will be included in openSUSE 10.3. Moreover, on what basis should we distinguish between GNOME bugs to report upstream, and GNOME bugs to report on bugzilla?

I'll answer the original mail, but I'll collect thoughts related to other replies here too. For the GNOME bugs in particular at least there are several issues causing the count to be high and not well maintained: 1) We (as the GNOME maintainers) have not been good at redirecting bugs upstream. We do have the keyword should_go_upstream in use which indicates what we want to upstream it and resolve it in the opensuse bugzilla, but we've been slow to do this though and its something we've not publicized and that was probably wrong. 2) We have not been good at grading bug severity, generally severity has been left at whatever the filer put it, although Blocker/Critical/Major have undergone more scrutiny in 10.3 at least. Further complicating this is that we (as a project) do not define severity well for instance from what I could find: http://en.opensuse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ http://en.opensuse.org/Submitting_Bug_Reports Only one mentions severity but its a brief reference to blocker. The ones on the Novell bugzilla are also weak: https://bugzilla.novell.com/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity 3) We (as the GNOME maintainers who work for Novell) have traditionally not focused on openSUSE much, rather spending most of our time on SLED. This improved for 10.3 and well continue to improve, but we lagged a little more than we thought due to SP1 of SLED 10. 4) As some one else mentioned, you almost never close out all the bugs for release Now, not one to simply list problems with out a solution, here on some positives: 1) I've been monitoring the count, its been trending down over the last three weeks (including major and above) 2) There are a number of easy packaging related things (bnc-team-gnome-build) we can pick off before 10.3 3) Mark Gordon a Novell QA person has been able to spend a lot more time triaging and moving bugs upstream over the last several weeks 4) Of the criticals, only 3 have not been active (generally activity means they are getting attention on the way to a fix) in the last week and they are: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299331 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299005 Both being worked on by hpj as part of a larger set of help fixes (rarian integration), its just a big mess atm because we have to tie this help system into the suse help system which is based on how kde discovers help files and our older patches broke big time. We should look at the for 10.4 Thats good and all , but it doesn't go all the way of course - Gary Ekker has been getting some better bug criteria created for understanding when we should upstream, wontfix, invalid, etc. Its for both SLED and openSUSE, we did a test run last week and it worked reasonably well. I think Gary would like to publish these soon for GNOME at least, just a bit of hesitation to push them out at this point in the release cycle.

Stabilizing KDE 3.5.x is much less work than stabilizing a major release like KDE 4 - or GNOME 2.20. So, there have been quite synergies between openSUSE and SLED on the KDE side - something we could not benefit from with GNOME. And that means we have to do more work with GNOME and then you might focus...

Another way would be to create one file at the start time and another at the end time, then calculate the differences in the creation times, e.g., touch startfile (time marches on) touch finishfile #output files' mod times in seconds since Epoch's begin; pipe to bc echo $(stat -c %Y finishfile)-$(stat -c %Y startfile) | bc #clean up rm startfile finishfile That's what the damned time command is for, you twit. Compared to using the time command, that's just a f***ing stupid waste of resources, kernal I/O, and it's problematic to boot (if the computer is rebooted during the job, then the start file is left to litter the filesystem.

Ok, tell me, seeing that I know nothing, if I can compromise a Linux users home dir - why cant I send out spam? I have never claimed such a thing is impossible, but it is far more difficult to do with Linux. In order to send out spam, something has to execute that can do that. That means the user has to make something executable and then execute it. That barrier is much lower in Windows. The bottom line, which you apparently refuse to accept, is that it is much more difficult for such problems to occur with Linux. Please note, I'm not saying impossible, just much more difficult. Please also understand that Windows was built as a single user system, without many of the security methods that are standard in Linux Unix and you can add to that some extremely poor software design in MS products, that turn them into a security sieve. This means no matter how careful a user is, Windows will always be far more risky. I think we agree on the subject. Last thing - I dont think most virus/trojan/DOSattack writers do it because its easy to do it in Windows (which it is), but because its got a huge impact on the computer industry (80% odd using flavor of Win) - and in there lies my main argument, that if it is do-able in Linux (irrelevant of afford) it will hit the successful Desktop Linux market. In which case, you're dumber than a box of rocks. Windows malware often requires NO user action to cause damage, where as you have demonstrated your absolute REFUSAL to even understand that the security model of Unix/Linux (going all the way back to the 1970's) REQUIRES that a user do several specific steps to make a malware package run...things that a clueless newbie isn't going to know how to do in the first place--thus protecting him/her from his own ignorance.

Biarch/AMD64
Various issues related to building on biarch/amd64 architecture:
must use %suse_update_config -f and %suse_update_libdir before
configure
with every package - note that it might break the build of some
packages,
so it must be tested (only remove it if it breaks), like this:
...
%{?suse_update_config:BuildRequires:autoconf automake libtool}
...
%prep
%setup -q .
%{?suse_update_libdir:%{suse_update_libdir}}
%{?suse_update_config:%{suse_update_config -f}}
Why did the packman people say this, why are they wrong, and what should
I do instead?
In history, there was a long period, when upstream autotools were not
able to detect x86_64 and even longer period (not finished yet) when
programmers learned, that $(libdir) might be different from
$(prefix)/lib. This was the easiest way to make it working.
Correct is:
1. Package should behave correctly.
2. If it does not, try autoreconf. If it helps, ask authors to use newer
autotools chain.
3. If it does not help, create a patch and send it upstream.
If you are lazy:
1. Package should behave correctly.
2. If it does not, call suse_update* hacks and hope that it fixed it.
Incorrect is:
1. Call suse_update* hacks every time and hope that it did not break it.
2. If it breaks, don't call it.

[opensuse-packaging] Announce: Vala and python-krbV
I have ported my Fedora packaging of Vala for openSUSE, and in order to be able to use both the openSUSE Build Service and Fedora's koji from my openSUSE machine, have also ported Fedora's python-krbV (as well as koji itself). Vala, which is a compiler for a C#-style language that compiles down to GObject C code (or optionally straight to native code), might be of interest; with permission I'd like to add it to GNOME:Community. Is anyone interested in making use of python-krbV? There's a Python repository in the OBS, what are the criteria for adding packages there?

Insufficient. If you want to use %configure, you have to redefine all
used paths (_bindir, _datadir and so on).
You also may use following trick:
%define _prefix %(pkg-config --variable=prefix libgnome-2.0)
%define _libdir %(pkg-config --variable=libdir libgnome-2.0)
...
Instead of libgnome-2.0 you can use package of your choice. Not all
standard variables are defined in all packages.
afaik all other variables are defined relative to _prefix.
so just changing _prefix should be sufficient no?
Yes; I've tried not overriding _libdir, etc. and it has no effect.
Depending on the files the package install, though, you might still
have to redefine _sysconfdir : on openSUSE 10.2 and below it's
/etc%{_prefix} rather than /etc .
