perl module version ordering differing from RPM
Does anyone know of a nice fix for this problem? The issue is that perl orders version numbers based on a floating point comparison, whereas RPM compares version numbers on an essentially integer basis (precisely, it splits the version number into the pieces separated by '.', then compares each chunk, but without removing leading zeroes: so 1.06 1.10 but 1.061 1.10). My best idea so far is to turn Perl's 1.061 into 1.0.6.1 (etc) when generating version numbers for RPM. But this is a bit messy, and would also require rebuilding all Redhat's packages to do the same thing. I could make it slightly less messy by just inserting an extra '.' after the first two digits after the first '.' - so 1.061 would become 1.06.1, which would be slightly less correct but still work for all the cases I've run into so far. It should also minimise the need to rebuild the Redhat packages. Cheers, Ganesh ___ Redhat-devel-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
Re: perl module version ordering differing from RPM
You can't really do this. Basically the only real solution is epochs; there simply is no one-to-one mapping of floats to RPM's vercmp. I suspect you're trying to come up with a way to automatically generate RPMs from CPAN modules? If so, I'd suggest looking at the RPM::Specfile module on CPAN. It contains a script called cpanflute2 that will do that. The biggest problem is that, with RPM, 1.06 is the same as 1.6. So you can have two different strings that are equal in RPM's version comparison. This doesn't happen with floating point numbers (except trailing zeros, which doesn't usually happen with cpan modules), so there isn't a very effective mapping.

I'd do that for all perl stuff - i.e. modify the perl dependency auto-generation to use that version number, make my CPAN module RPM generation script use this scheme, and rebuild the Redhat perl RPMs to do it that way. Alternatively I might do it on a module by module basis (with a configuration file to control it, and forcibly reinstalling modules with the new scheme where necessary after I made a change). Is 1.21 newer or older than 1.3.1? This issue shouldn't arise. And for some software, 1.1a and 1.1b are older than 1.1. This shouldn't arise for perl stuff, I think.

Below is my lilo.conf file. This info might be out of date, but... As far as I know, dos-based windows (i.e. Win-9x) cannot support multiple primary DOS partitions. How did you manage to create them? LILO might be working, but perhaps the windows loader is resorting to what it thinks is C:. How did you install them all on separate partitions? If it's win9x you are talking about, then forget it, they are too stupid to cope with unusual partitioning schemes. (I'm just guessing about ME, but, based on other experience...). From what I have read in the past, DOS, i.e. Win 9x, scans the discs in the following order: the primary dos partition on each non-removable drive hda, hdb, hdc, hdd, then all logicals on hda then all logicals on hdb, etc and assigns C:, D:, etc as it finds them. You might want to check the MS web site, but I am sure there is no way to assign other primaries. You might get away with multiple logical partitions, for multiple win9x systems, but make sure you reinstall each time. Partition magic might perhaps be able to cope with the duplication (never done it myself). NT/2k and presumably xp are smarter, but they have to be NTFS partitions to have multiple primaries. I'd recommend you get them working in MS multi-boot config first. I used to boot Linux, NT4, win98 and dos, as follows. Set up a small C: dos primary just to hold lilo, and windows boot loaders, then install win9x on a logical partition, then NT/2k and it will provide multiboot configuration. Then reinstall lilo (keep that bootable floppy handy) and have a single lilo entry to boot the NT/2k loader, which handles all the Win stuff.

I have a similar problem, in that I used CUPS to set up the printers.
All I do is when it pops up the box for printing the only printer
displayed is lpr, so just add -P and then the name of the printer that
you set in CUPS. Works for me
I have no difficulty printing from Mozilla to a cups printer. I'm using
KDE as my desktop, if that matters.
The print dialog opens, listing the printer as PostScript/default.
The printer properties show the print command as:
lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}
I didn't do anything to set this up, it just worked from the start.

LC_COLLATE, sorting, filenames and stuff like that there
ok, where can i figure out what the implications are for setting LC_COLLATE, what the possible values are, and so on? man -k doesn't seem to tell me anything. i'm curious for a couple of reasons. first, as many people have found out, setting LC_COLLATE=C reverts the way filenames are displayed back to the old way, where lower/upper case mattered. in addition, i noticed that it also affects how fields in a white-space separated file are sorted. i have a sample file, with an arbitrary number of spaces between the fields to make them line up. the sort command generally requires a -b option to collapse consecutive blanks together so that the sort works properly. at least, you need -b if LC_COLLATE=C; in other words, to get the old behavior i'm used to. if you haven't set LC_COLLATE=C, then this option is no longer required -- the sort will work fine. so, is there a HOWTO/man page or something that explains all of this COLLATE stuff and its effects on commands somewhere? rday Robert P.

Also, I use Ximian Evolution on the server and then about 300 users connect up using X-Win32 and pull mail inside my network. This works pretty well, no real worries with this setup. Its kinda nice to have a centrally managed mail system. Each user has a local account on the server and a home folder. They connect to their home folder using SAMBA on Win 2K and XP machines. They auth on the network with a SAMBA PDC. Works incredibly well. I Use popper for travailing people. Popper_mod also supports POP and IMAP I believe.

RE: Newbie: Kernel upgrade

Thanks, Michael. I performed those steps and see that my kernel lists as
Kernel-2.4.7-10 (i386)
Kernel-headers-2.4.7-10 (i386)
So it appears that up2date wants to give me the athlon architecture instead of the i386. I'm a bit confused since that is an Athlon processeor in the box.

Hi again! I ran up2date on a system that has an AMD Athlon processor
and RedHat 7.2. The update list shows a newer kernel with an
architecture type = athlon. Beneath that, the kernel headers show the

that the package is for a different architecture. I am able to
install other i386 packages without any problem.
I'm guessing that the difference between the kernel and the kernel
headers is throwing it off.
The kernel is optimized for a specific architecture, while the kernel
headers are not. This is normal.
Check which kernel you have installed with:
rpm -q kernel --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release} (%{arch})\n'
Output will be similar to:
kernel-2.4.18-5 (athlon)
kernel-2.4.18-10 (athlon)
To see all kernel related packages at once, try something like: (watch the line wrap) rpm -qa | grep kern | xargs rpm -q --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}
(%{arch})\n'
Here, I get:
kernel-2.4.18-10 (athlon)
kernel-2.4.18-5 (athlon)
kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.27-18 (i386)
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.16 (i386)
kernel-source-2.4.18-10 (i386)
(kernelheaders has moved to glibc-kernheaders in the 7.3 release)
Where can I download kernel rpms independent of up2date's list?
You shouldn't have to, but look at

RHN Subscription Only??
I installed RedHat 7.2 last night: boxed set. When I tried to run up2date wu-ftpd I get a message (this was midnight Pacific time). Due to extremely high traffic. I then found the place to register a 30 day subscription to software updates from the Product Activation Card. This morning I was able to execute up2date wu-ftpd. At $60/year for a basic subscription RHN becomes more expensive than Win2K-Pro ($165/updates are free). Less if you have a bunch of NT 4 WS licenses to upgrade, as do I. The numbers make more sense when compared to Win2K Server pricing. Note that u$oft Licensing allows me to run Oracle on Win2k Pro and I am not detecting any ill effects in our environment. I'm looking hard at RedHat because Solaris Intel is fading away, especially RAID controller support. For the last couple of years, Sun was charging $75 for media kits. Critical updates are available for free, but not nearly as slick as RHN and up2date. So, this first look indicates that to adopt RedHat as a database/Web server platform: 1. I have to come up the RedHat/Linux learning curve. 2. Pay more than for Solaris Intel and Win2K Pro to have a critical update service. Was my experience with up2date last night an anomaly? If I try to bring a couple more RH systems up to evaluate in my environment, will I need to purchase Basic RHN subscriptions to get things like an ftp daemon and critical updates?

Re[2]: LILO - Boot other os's
Hello Cameron, Thursday, August 29, 2002, 4:20:42 AM, you textually orated: I have a linux box in our programmers area. This is really going to be a test machine for them to test programms on diferent window's os's. It is setup with 4 primary partions. Linux 7.3 (2.4.18) is on the first /dev/hda1 and I created 3 fat16 dos partions on /dev/hda2, /dev/hda3, /dev/hda4. I would like with LILO to choose which partion will boot. Below is my lilo.conf file. CDca This info might be out of date, but... CDca As far as I know, dos-based windows (i.e. Win-9x) cannot support multiple CDca primary DOS partitions. How did you manage to create them? CDca LILO might be working, but perhaps the windows loader is resorting to what CDca it thinks is C:. Coming in a little late here, so I hope I'm not missing something. I don't know about out of date, but there are always workarounds. DOS/WinXX require the active flag to be set on the partition to be able to boot. Most boot loaders are capable of switching this at boot time so as to fool the OS in question. So for example... # LILO configuration file # # For example purposes only! # Consult documentation or Google for more info. boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=20 message=/boot/message linear default=linux # Default Linux install image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19-7.0.16 label=linux read-only root=/dev/hda11 # First DOS other = /dev/hda1 label = DOS table = /dev/hda change partition = /dev/hda1 activate # Make this one bootable set = DOS_1_normal partition = /dev/hda2 deactivate # Hide this one, DOS is picky set = DOS_1_hidden # Second DOS (reverse it) other = /dev/hda1 label = Win9x table = /dev/hda change partition = /dev/hda2 activate # Make this one bootable set = DOS_1_normal partition = /dev/hda1 deactivate # Hide this one, DOS is picky set = DOS_1_hidden You may have additional requirements.

Yes. http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue72/bright.html Have fun, -- _ Brian Ashe CTO [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dee-Web Software Services, LLC. http://www.dee-web.com/ - -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Thanks, Michael. I performed those steps and see that my kernel lists
as Kernel-2.4.7-10 (i386)
Kernel-headers-2.4.7-10 (i386)
So it appears that up2date wants to give me the athlon architecture
instead of the i386. I'm a bit confused since that is an Athlon
processeor in the box.
If the athlon kernel is correct for your machine, you should be able to
install it manually with the --ignorearch switch. Download the
appropriate rpm, and INSTALL (not upgrade) it.
rpm -ivh --ignorearch kernel-*.athlon.rpm
