Re: Updated qlogic driver
by Nate Bradley
Well excuuuse me! Looking at the kernel config, the entries for qlogic
are very generic and the module names aren't that obvious. It's
confusing to see the legacy driver with a sensible name and the newer
drivers without one. I was looking for something that looked closer to
the drivers I got directly from qlogic which have the model names in
them.
Given the fact that the module's not loading on it's own after being
recognized (just the subsystem), you could try to be a little more
forgiving.

openoffice-1.1.1
by ByteEnable
I downloaded and was compiling openoffice and noticed that it is full of
-march overrides for x86. Is this mess being cleaned up (-march overrides)?

Menu Editing in Gnome 2.6
by Pyroman[FO]
I'm using the latest Gnome 2.6 packages as of Saturday (April 3rd). I
tried the standard method of enabling menu editing in Gnome 2.4, by
copying the
/etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/default-modules.conf.with-menu-editing over
the default-modules.conf. However when I do that everything in the menu
disappears, and you still can't edit the menu through applications. How
do you enable menu editing in 2.6? I was hoping the VFS improvements
extended to making the menu editing not crash constantly :)

Ximian OpenOffice?
by Pyroman[FO]
I noticed that the latest openoffice with FC2 Test 2 is using the Ximian
icons, I wanted to ask if it is also using any other Ximian patches?
Namely the Gnome-VFS stuff. I was checking out ooo.ximian.com and their
1.1.1 ooo-build has GnomeVFS listed as one of the RedHat patches, so is
this actually applied to the version that shipped with Fedora? If not,
will building with ooo-build give me the GnomeVFS capability with
OpenOffice?

And it looks like Bill Nottingham has fixed SysVinit(-2.85-23) so you
can boot with the parameters "selinux=0 single" instead of having to
boot from the CD.

All distributions heavily patch their packages - that's a fact of life
not Red Hat sin (and btw your reading of the GPL disagrees mine - 3.a
applies not 2.a)
Fedora is actually one of the nicer least patched distros. One of it's
official targets is to move closer to upstream projects. If I remember
well they even asked esr what fetchmail version they should ship to
please fetchmail maintainers.
