Re: http://www.fsf.org/news/dont-depend-on-mono
by Liang Suilong
In my opinion, maybe Mono is a good thing for attracting more developers to
come into Linux world. Also Programmers write a lot of great softwares,
such as tomboy, f-spot and giver. But we can not ignore that there are some
legal issues in Mono. If Microsoft accuses some users of stealing his
copyright, or Microsoft bans developers to write C#, it will cause a large
disaster for OpenSource community.
As far as I am concerned, I suggest that Mono is not the default
installation on Fedora. But Mono should staying at Fedora repository. I am
using f-spot to export my photos to picasa web album. It is much better than
Google Picasa for Linux. I know that gnote will replace tomboy. I hope
solang will replace f-spot for the reason that sometimes after I upload
photos to picasa web album f-spot would crash.
Also moving Mono to RPM Fusion may be a better choice. It is more efficient
to avoid legal issues with Microsoft. But lacking of maintainers, RPM Fusion
is unlikely to maintain Mono platform and some applications requiring Mono
well. So I suggest that Mono should stay at Fedora repository but not be the
default installations.

Hello !
There is a SONAME change along with the DirectFB major update to

At least the following packages will need a rebuild.
# repoquery --whatrequires libdirect-1.2.so.0
directfb-devel-0:1.2.7-4.fc11.i586
gstreamer-plugins-bad-0:0.10.12-2.fc11.i586

gstreamer-plugins-bad-0:0.10.12-1.fc11.1.i586
xine-lib-extras-0:1.1.16.3-2.fc11.i586
The update has been done in cvs. And I will wait for few answears to
this mail before the tag and build.

Installing Fedora with software based synthesizer for sceenreader
by Caolán McNamara
Is is possible to *install* Fedora using our accessibility support out
of the box, specifically do we have support for installing fedora and
have a software based synthesizer available for the screen reader during
installation ?
I see that there was a previous fedora-derived effort but only as far as
F-9, and "A hardware speech synthesizer is required to install" though
after install supports "operation using software speech synthesizers",
i.e. http://speakupmodified.org/HOWTO_INSTALL.html

Rawhide pulseaudio manager problem
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Despite the packagekit updates, I've still not got any sound on my
rawhide box.
When I've run from the command line
pulseaudio --start or pulseaudio -D
it returns E: main.c: Daemon startup failed
When I run PulseAudio Manager, I'm seeing something which may explain
things a bit (though it could just be the manager app being odd!)
Under Client Information, it's saying it is linked to library version
0.9.16-test1 but compiled with library version 0.9.15-test3
Clicking connect gives me a connection refused.
Shouldn't everything be built against 0.9.16-test1?
Do I need to put this into bz?
I've checked using rpm -qa and everything on my systen is 0.9.16.
TTFN
Paul
