upgrading RH 9 system->Fedora with iso files and apt only
by Didier Casse
I have the yarrow's iso files on my HD in a RH9 system. Let's say I want
to upgrade selected packages using an "apt-get install" pointing to my
iso-mounted files, how do I do it?
i.e I mount the iso into some /mnt/yarrow1, /mnt/yarrow 2 etc..
Then what is the complete procedure to make my apt look into my own HD to
upgrade packages. Can anybody redirect me to the correct
resource or some literature hanging on the web? Thanks.
Assume also that I do not wish to burn CDs! I do not want to use
apt-cdrom. Thanks.
With kind regards,
Didier.

Cleaning up "Preferred Applications" & Desktop Consistency
by Warren Togami
A while ago I became annoyed enough by the brokenness of this situation
to investigate it seriously. I am now attempting to improve the overall
"Preferred Applications" situation, make cleanups and patch individual
applications to honor the preferred settings. I hope to stir discussion
about further standardization of these aspects of desktop consistency.
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If any new or existing
Bugzilla reports are related to anything below, please reply to let us
know of their locations.
1) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109738
Preferred Applications chooser in the Preferences a.k.a.
control-center's gnome-default-applications-properties sets only the
http gconf key, while there is also a https and unknown key that should
be set. htmlview uses the unknown key while Evolution honors the https key.
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command
This key is set
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https/command
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/unknown/command
But these two are not set
control-center-2.4.0/capplets/default-applications
The relevant code is within this directory. Ray Strode attached a
patch that sets https, because he disagrees that "unknown" should also
be set. I believe because of the way htmlview currently acts as a
catch-all for anything that needs a web browser, that unknown should
also be set. (htmlview itself is largely broken, this is discussed
later in this message.)
2) need-terminal is the key defined in the gconf schema, but
gnome-default-applications-properties sets needs_terminal. Both Ray
Strode and I agree that this is a typo. His patch corrects this, and it
should be applied to both this package and Gnome CVS.
This means that choosing Links in the chooser as a default browser is
currently broken due to setting the wrong key name. However I have yet
to find a program that actually honors the need-terminal key...
3) On the topic of this gnome-default-applications-properties program,
the way the User Interface currently behaves is somewhat confusing to
end users. When you first launch it, all options are grayed out and
there is no indication if you are using the "Select a Web Browser" or
"Custom Web Browser" chooser. This is especially confusing when you
have set a custom web browser, close, then open it again, and the two
browsers don't match. The user interface needs to be redone in order to
reduce end-user confusion. Any takers?
4) Currently gnome-default-applications-properties's choosers have hard
coded values for options like Mozilla, Konqueror, Epiphany and other
programs. We could do a lot better than this.
I propose that we use desktop-agnostic-easy-install definitions for
Preferred Applications. We should standardize on a directory named
something like /etc/sysconfig/preferred/browser.d within which each
package can easily drop definition files. Each definition file can
contain values like Label, command, need-terminal, etc.
/etc/sysconfig/preferred/mail.d, /etc/sysconfig/preferred/editor.d,
/etc/sysconfig/preferred/terminal.d could be the same for mail clients,
text editors and terminals respectively. Then applications like
"Preferred Applications" can read all definitions from these
standardized directories and populate the chooser with all proper flag
values.
Sane?
5) This brings up the larger question of the need for desktop agnostic
configuration for Preferred Applications as KDE does not use gconf. As
individual applications are improved to honor the Preferred Applications
choice, this completely leaves out the KDE environment especially for
users of other distributions that do not unify the user experience
between Gnome and KDE like Red Hat/Fedora does. In such cases the user
may have only KDE installed, and they may not even have gconf at all,
thus the above gconf-based Preferred Applications breaks down.
This creates a disconnect where KDE development totally ignores this
standard and furthers the divide between the two camps. Otherwise
individual applications need to implement two competing standards (this
standard, plus one lack-of-standard as KDE does not currently have a
notion of Preferred browser). This is a poor situation of greater code
& effort duplication, needless added complication and more bugs.
Is it too late to go back to the drawing board and agree upon a
desktop-agnostic place to configure these things so ANY Linux desktop
software can implement it without requiring gconf? During a transition
period the Preferred Applications chooser can set BOTH the gconf like
previously, and the new standard. Eventually we will phase out all
applications that read gconf (which are currently few) and everyone will
be happy?
6) gconf /desktop/gnome/applications/browser/exec contains the value
"mozilla" by default along with needs_term, and nremote which was
probably meant to mean xremote compatible. This key is untouched by
gnome-default-applications-properties and does not seem to be used by
anything I can find. Am I correct that this is redundant?
Furthermore this lacks consistency, because
gnome-default-applications-properties's Terminal chooser sets
/desktop/gnome/applications/terminal/exec.
7) gaim Preferred Applications integration implementation
I am currently implementing a new default URL handler for gaim called
"Preferred Browser". If gaim upstream does not does not accept it as
default, Fedora's gaim package can choose this new URL handler as default.
Implementation Details:
* Due to the brokenness of xremote in all currently released
Mozilla-compatible browsers and complication with MozillaThunderbird,
some extra care and logic is necessary for proper usage of xremote.
xremote's ping() is completely broken while Thunderbird is running, thus
a workaround like this is needed from a bash script:
exec xremote args && exit 0
Rather than checking if xremote is available, it just goes ahead and to
use it. If it fails then it does not "exit 0" then goes to the next
line of the script which can launch the browser from scratch. Due to
this broken ping() problem, /usr/bin/mozilla script needs fixing. See
this Bugzilla report below comment #35.
* https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1113
The script launched from gaim would be very similar to the logic used by
fedora.us MozillaThunderbird open-browser.sh in this Bugzilla report.
8) htmlview is currently flawed, and furthermore its unknown gconf key
behavior is broken due to the above problems with the Preferred
Applications chooser.
I propose that it be rewritten to use gconf's http key by default, and
launch logic similar to the above open-browser.sh. I personally really
dislike its current attempt-to-find-any-installed-browser behavior, and
IMHO it should behave only in a defined and predictable manner by
launching only the Preferred Application.
This includes honoring the need-terminal key to launch the preferred
terminal if in X. I fully support making text-mode browsers the
definable preferred browser in X, as some users like links since it
works great with the mouse and it is very fast & lightweight.
Should we have a separately definable preferred text-mode browser too?
I really question the value of needing to launch a text-mode browser
using htmlview in a non-X terminal. I mean really... does anything
currently depend on that behavior, and would anyone miss it? Let us
please kill that off...
9) After all of the above Preferred Applications mess is cleaned up, I
propose that we make the default panel launchers Web Browser and Mail
Client to launch the chosen Preferred Applications rather than
specifically Mozilla and Evolution. It works great and more importantly
100% predictably.
10) Any other common applications that need patching to honor the
Preferred Applications? Let me know and I will attempt to do so.
11) Evolution's clipboard behavior is currently and always has been
fatally broken. Reproduce: Copy any block of text with newline
formatting from any Evolution window, then paste that into any other window.
Big frown! This alone (and the fact that it takes 3-4 minutes for
Evolution to start with my 50+ IMAP folders) are why I switched to
Thunderbird. We really need to get the clipboard behavior fixed at
least. Please find existing Bugzilla reports related to this... they
have to exist somewhere...
12) Mozilla, MozillaFirebird and MozillaThunderbird use ALT-A for
Select-All within TextAreas and TextBoxes. This is inconsistent with
the default keybindings of all other end-user GUI applications in
Windows, MacOS and even Linux where CTRL-A acts as Select-All. Even
CTRL-A works in non-Text input areas of Mozilla. This is totally
inconsistent and needs to be fixed.
Anecdotally, I do a lot of LTSP and Linux work with schools
indoctrinated by Windows and MacOS. This CTRL-A-fails-to-Select-All
behavior is hit VERY OFTEN during while classes use Mozilla. These
little annoyances everywhere in our desktop software & integration
between applications really add up to a negative feeling toward our
software. We need to strive for greater consistency with all end-user
applications in areas like keybindings, thus ALT-A for Select-All needs
to be changed.
Before the kneejerk reaction, let explain how this came to be. CTRL-A
is historically the "jump to beginning of line" keybinding in Emacs and
command line shells. Thus the Unix hackers much preferred CTRL-A in
text input in Netscape to jump to the beginning of the line.
Unfortunately this conflicts with the well understood "standard" of
CTRL-A being Select-All known by all non-Unix-hackers, and is the
standard keybinding of the vast majority of applications in Linux.
Earlier versions of Mozilla even said "CTRL-A" in the Edit menu as the
keybinding for Select-All, which did not match the behavior. When this
was pointed out by many users, somebody upstream simply changed the
string to read "ALT-A".
I complained about this several times before but was shot down as
NOTABUG by Unix hackers. I wont go as far as to claim that they were
biased. =) Fortunately, recently Christopher Blizzard confirmed that
this is indeed a bug, because Mozilla should be using gtk2's defaults
rather than its own hard coded defaults.
If you look at gtk2 applications like gedit, CTRL-A acts as Select-All.
This is true of most other gtk2 applications and all KDE applications.
Blizzard said that gtk2 has options that allow you to set this
Windows-like behavior, and there is the option to change all keybindings
to be Unix-like globally (where is this setting?). Thus Mozilla needs
to adhere to this configuration option and properly use CTRL-A for
Select-All by default. Knee-jerk reaction Unix people who liked the old
behavior can toggle the gtk2 option and get back the old behavior.
More generally we should make it a standard that all end-user
applications adhere to these common keybindings. Web browsers like
Mozilla *definitely* are end-user applications. This standard of course
does not mandate that developer applications with a tradition of a
different keybinding be changed, so of course Emacs and bash continue to
work as they do today.
Is this sane?
13) In the name of end-user application consistency, Konqueror could use
some extra key-bindings by default to make it behave like Mozilla. The
following do not conflict with current Konqueror defaults.
CTRL-W Close current tab.
CTRL-+ Larger font.
CTRL-- Smaller font.
Other common Mozilla keybindings conflict with already defined Konqueror
bindings, and I really don't feel it is worth the emotional & political
fight to ask that they change.
Any active KDE developers here? Could you please get these checked-in
so it can be in KDE 3.2? RH/Fedora will not apply this change, and we
will only have it if upstream applies it. Please confirm in a reply
when it has been submitted.
Can anyone think of other common Mozilla keybindings that could be easy
to integrate?
Thanks,

Mouse related issue
by Alan
I have a ps/2 scroll mouse and a kvm. If I switch to another session to
do something, is screws up the mouse quite bad.
In Redhat 9 I would just bring up the redhat mouse configure app and it
would reset the mouse. That does not work in Fedora any more.
What is the correct way to reset the mouse? I want to write an app that
I can bind to a keypress in X.
Also, is there going to be a config app to change mouse cursors in
Gnome?

gconfd-2 does not exit when a user log out, breaks unmounting home
by W. Michael Petullo
I have been having some trouble with gconfd-2 (currently using GConf2-2.4.0
from RawHide PPC) for quite some time. I tried to get some discussion going
on Red Hat's Bugzilla quite a while ago but nothing really came of it. I'd
be willing to work on a patch, but I'd like to come to consensus on the
technique we should use to fix the problem. I thought perhaps I would try
this forum.
The gconfd-2 daemon is run by many GNOME applications to manage
configurations. Gconfd-2 remains running for some time after the application
which used it quits. This allows other applications to use gconfd-2 without
having to start and stop the daemon too much. This is a good idea.
The problem comes when a system tries to unmount a user's home directory when
the user logs out. For example, pam_mount unmounts an encrypted home
directory then I log out of my system. Other people use NFS or other means
to mount home directories.
Gconfd-2 continues to run even when a user logs out. This causes the
unmounting of the user's home directory to fail because gconfd-2 keeps the
following files open:
/home/user/.gconfd/saved_state
In addition, when using GNOME 2.4, there are four new programs that seem to
hang around unwelcome for a second after logging out (at least they are still
around when PAM session closing code is run). This is partially documented
in bug #106826. The four programs are:
bonobo-activation-server (home direcotry remains open as CWD?)
gnome-settings-daemon (home direcotry remains open as CWD?)
xscreensaver -nosplash (home direcotry remains open as CWD?)
mapping-daemon (home direcotry remains open as CWD?)
Red Hat Bugzilla bugs #67605, #75895 and #106826 comment more on this
problem.

Perl 5.8.2 in Rawhide
by Chip Turner
Perl 5.8.2 has been built in Rawhide. It has an initial attempt at
binary compatibility when embedded in previous perl's, but I'd
recompile anything embedding perl "just in case." Mainly this is
mod_perl, xchat2, and gaim these days, IIRC. Perl modules should work
fine as-is. mod_perl also should now be 1.99_11, the upstream
latest. Let me know if anything is broken. 5.8.2 and 1.99_11
probably both work on FC1, too. In fact, if people would like to help
test that, once we see that it is stable, I'd like to errata it into
FC1, assuming there is enough demand and enough testing :)

An introduction of the new cheerleader...
by Cristian Gafton
Hello folks,
As you are aware from his earlier message, Michael Johnson has decided to
move on and I have assumed the top level responsibilities for the Fedora
Project. Michael has been a great asset for us (where "us" = Red Hat and
the Fedora Project) and I would like to thank him for his efforts and the
progress made in these past months. A good part of this progress has not
been obvious to the outside world, but I know that there were a lot of
logistical hurdles and behind-the-scenes requirements cleared by Michael
in his time as the top Fedora wearer - which in turn will make my job that
much easier. I would like to thank him for his dedication to this project.
Good luck to you, Michael!
So, who am I? I have joined Red Hat in the summer of 1997 and I have
"climbed the corporate ladder" from an OS engineer to the Manager of OS
Development - those "old enough" will probably remember me from those
days. I then moved and started about three years ago the Red Hat Network
engineering group, where I have been acting as the Director of RHN until
about a year ago. In this past year, as a Red Hat Fellow, I have been
known to hold strong opinions in front of various CxOs from the Red Hat's
Executive team (/me tips the hat :-), while participating in various small
internal projects as time permitted. And now, with Fedora, the cycle is
completed and I have my chance to redeem myself for some of the things I
have done during my first stint as the dude responsible for building a
distribution... ;^)
I think it is important for everybody to realize that although Fedora is
going at this moment through a change in leadership, there will be no
change in the strategic direction and goals set by Red Hat and the
Steering Committee when the project was started. And because that saves me
from having to come up with a new grandiose plan ;-), I will dedicate my
immediate time on some of the tasks that need to be addressed with
urgency. In no particular order (since all these are qualify as "top
priority"), I will attempt to make happen in the shortest possible time:
- Fedora developer and contributor forms. These include things like
establishing qualifications, credentials and requirements for issuing
various accounts and access levels - in short the formal aspect of getting
those interested the "commit" access to Fedora Project bits;
- Installation of a CVS server and associated repositories as the primary
interface for the developers. I am still in the process of reviewing the
specifics of this plan, but I can share at this point that there will be
two main categories of packages/projects served from this machine to our
contributors (and here is the answer to a popular FAQ):
- the internally maintained packages will be mirrored read-only so that
external contributors can track our progress, review our changes and
replicate our progress on their own systems without waiting for
updates from Red Hat.
- the externally maintained packages will allow read/write access to
particular contributors ("owners").
We're finalizing the implementation of this server, and we'll get it online
in a relatively short time. Yes, the web site promised this "before the end
of 2003". That means we're behind and I personally don't like at all being
behind the schedule...
- We're going to start building and deploying the necessary pieces for a
build system that supports Fedora and its collaborative development
paradigm. This is going to be closely linked and interfaced with the CVS
server. I know some people have already proposed/implemented proof of
concepts for this, and I will engage them in more detailed discussions
in the next week (as I hunt them down in the mailing list archives, unless
they choose to make contact with me first).
I realize that there is no shortage of people interested and willing to
test-drive each of these pieces. I would like to thank you for your patience
to date and I promise you that shortly you will have plenty of stuff to sink
your teeth into...
In other words, my immediate attention is dedicated to the issue of physical
and logistical infrastructure that would get the most developers
contributing the fastest to the whole project. So, what are your
expectations of this infrastructure? I can not make promises, but I know
that reading your opinions will be a good opportunity to understand how
relevant our current plans are.
As I come up to speed on various other bits and issues in the project, I
will attempt to address those as well. I will try to capture all this into
a general project-level TODO list on the web site to keep folks informed
where we are on various issues, what kind of progress is being made or
what's holding up the expected progress.
For the future I hold the hope that we will build not only a great project,
but that we will have the chance of building strong relationships as well.
Excited, terrified, worried and hopeful - I am looking forward to it,
Cristian

release candidate zsh configs
by Eric Hattemer
The zsh config files in http://isd.usc.edu/~ehatteme/zsh/zshetc.tar.bz2
(link of ./zsh-etc-1-30-01PST.tar.bz2) are ready for submission. I just
cleaned them up a little bit since the 1-26 version. The only file that
is different from the original is /etc/zshrc. It may be better to split
the changes up into the other files, but I don't fully understand the
standard for what changes go into which file. Its probably not
critical, and zshrc seems like a good place to put them. I would like
to remove /etc/skel/.zshrc because it is not expected that someone will
install zsh before adding users. All it does is source /etc/profile,
which I moved into /etc/zshrc. If there are no suggestions or
objections that haven't been added yet, Warren will notify Petersen, the
zsh maintainer, he will review the files, modify them as necessary, and
put them into the next fedora zsh release. Please look these over,
decide if there is anything strange, lacking documentation,
incompatible, or non-standard, or if you have better preferences.
