How to handel spinning when i686 versions of packages don't make it into the updates repo?

by William F. Acker WB2FLW +1 303 722 7209

Hi all, I've always noticed that when a package is updated, sometimes the i686 version isn't put into the x86_64 repo for updates. As a workaround, I add the packages to the exclude list in the fedora repo so I don't get x86_64 versions that are newer than the left behind i686 versions. This means that my disks will have less i686 stuff than was released originally by The Fedora Project. I could just carry the updated packages in a local repo, thereby preserving the original package list. Does anyone know which is the best approach? TIA. -- Bill in Denver

add web browser text based on rescue from boot.iso

by Sergio Monteiro Basto

Hi, using boot.iso from releases/12/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/ I can do a usb boot disc and run the rescue mode, easily, with command livecd-iso-to-disk boot.iso /dev/sdc And install.img is write on /images. I also could update install.img using method wrote in : http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Updates#How_to_Create_an_Anaco... but I don't know how or where with /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall and/or pungi -B , can customize my install.img. For example I'd like add lynx (to install.img), how I can do that ? Other question rescue mode don't have any web browser text based ? Thanks in advance, -- Sérgio M. B.

X509 login patches

by Christos Triantafyllidis

Hi all and welcome me to the list :), i'm using koji since a few week and i needed X509 authentication. Unfortunately current support for x509 was limited to: a) Use of the CN part only from the subject DN as the username Although traditionally CN can be the "username" of the user there are cases (like in our PKI) where CN is just "Christos Triantafyllidis" and of course many users can have the same name but different DNs. To avoid this but also keep the backwards compatibility i have introduced a new variable to be exported by both apache config (for git-web) and hub.conf (for the rest of the tools) called EnvVarForUserName which defines which variable to use as Username. For my case i have "EnvVarForUserName = SSL_CLIENT_S_DN" which uses the whole DN as username. b) Keep asking the user to provide their pass-phrase many times for the the same operation This leads (IMHO) many users to use password-less certificates. Unfortunately this is not acceptable according to our PKI policy so i added a callback to cache the passphrase within each koji execution. I have created some patches to both this limitations and i have uploaded the to my git repository[1]. Feel free to use/clone them. Best regards, Christos Triantafyllidis [1] http://git.afroditi.hellasgrid.gr/git/grid.auth.gr/koji.git

Can I avoid the ppc builder?

by David Juran

Hello. Is there a way I can keep my builds away from the ppc builders? I'm trying to push an update to my noarch (java) package (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1847061) but it seems to end up on a ppc64 builder and fail miserably )-: Now I promise I will try to dig in to the root cause of the build failure but since ppc no longer is a primary architecture, the failed build on PPC shouldn't hold up the release on the primary architectures. -- David Juran Sr. Consultant Red Hat +358-504-146348
