Hi Tobias and others,
The proposed meeting time is fine to me. I also agree with the fact that
we
need to reach some agreements about how to deal some issues regarding the
forcoming Yoper RC2 release.
Looking forward to your input :) .
In keeping the hplip package build, well, at the beginning
I was in charge of it but it caused some serious build problems and
Melideux
(and you) gave me a hand unsuccesfully. I suppose I'm still the man in
change, thus I'll look into it...
I have improved the rpm find-requires script to not get confused
anymore. I put up a test spec into dynamite for hplip. Because we're
so late in release cycle all new packages are supposed to go now to
dynamite first. Only minor changes in rocketfuel now. Guess we should
setup some guidelines / simple rules for this.
I'll give it another try then today...
In keeping the boot scripts, I'm also trying to fix the localization
support, but it's being more complicated than expected, because I don't
get
variables keep exported in the environment. After the "INIT entering
runlevel 5" message (more or less), all variables exported in the
rc.sysinit
are removed and I haven't found a way to force them to keep globally
accesible in the system. Once this is fixed, it would be nice to include
some sort of screen in the installer to let the user choose his/her
language
from the very beginning.
How about using some config file like /etc/sysconfig/i18n ?
Well, it sounds good to me. FC6 and Knoppix seem to do this. However, the
problem I have is that I don't find a way to keep exported variables
permanent in the system environment so all apps can see the LANG and LC_*
variables. Any idea about why they are removed? I figure out it must be
because I'm not doing this in the right context or on a high enough in the
process tree script.
Regarding other scripts, I would suggest to break down the monolitic
scripts
into small scripts easier to manage and maintain. I have also seen same
things are sometimes done over and over. Oh well, quite a lot of work ...
I
need to organize my TODO list in a better way... :-S
Good idea that I'd keep in mind for 3.
Well, that's all for the moment being... oh, one more thing, you know
what?
Yoper rocks!! :-D
Best regards.
