QA request: dosbox
by Steven Pritchard 13 Sep '04

13 Sep '04

Anybody have a few minutes to spare? https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2060 The version of dosbox in fedora.us stable is well over a year old. The newer version adds support for (at least some) protected-mode games. I was using it to play Tie Fighter this morning, in fact. (My computer may not be good enough to run Doom3, but at least it can run a decade-old game reasonably well... ;-) Anyway, this should be a really easy QA job for anyone who is interested...

Self-Introduction: Wart
by Michael Thomas 12 Sep '04

12 Sep '04

Name: Michael "wart" Thomas Country, City: US, Pasadena Profession: Scientific Software Engineer Company: Caltech Goals in the Fedora project: To push for the inclusion of more Tcl extensions. I have a number of personal projects that make use of various Tcl extensions, and I'm just tired of typing "./configure ; make ; make install" to install it on clusters of machines. I'd rather type 'yum install ...' to save a few keystrokes. :) In particular, I'd like to help get tclhttpd and the various Tcl xml/soap extensions included in Fedora. I wouldn't mind doing QA on other packages, either, in my limited free time. Qualifications: I've been developing software for the scientific community for 10 years now. I've managed one fairly quiet project on SourceForge for over a year (ciphertool), and I am one of the main developers on another SourceForge project (clarens). I'm also starting to contribute packaging-related patches to a handful of other projects (all tcl-related). My programming languages include C, Tcl, Java, and a smattering of perl, python, and C++.

Packaging optional netfilter modules
by Kenneth Porter 12 Sep '04

12 Sep '04

I wanted to try the experimental TARPIT module from netfilter, and because it's experimental, neither the upstream kernel team nor Red Hat will incorporate this into the stock kernel. This is of course perfectly reasonable. But since netfilter modules are kernel modules, it seems like it should be straightforward to package them as free-standing packages. Has anyone tried to do this? What success have you had? Another factor is that the kernel module will need matching machinery in the iptables userspace program to select the module and parse its options. (eg. for TARPIT, it would parse the "-j TARPIT" command.) I believe currently this requires a recompile of the utility. Has any work been done to make this more modular, with runtime selection of additional parsing routines? That would allow the userspace parsing piece to be supplied in the kernel module package to be dropped in a suitable directory for use at runtime.

kernel module fs permissions
by Ville Skyttä 12 Sep '04

12 Sep '04

Is there another reason besides rpm automagic stripping (+ laziness or something like that in not resetting to 644 in the specfile later) for all *.ko to be executable by root (mode 744) in the kernel package?

First boot with 20040908 changes
by Steve G 11 Sep '04

11 Sep '04

Hi, Just got the system up with the latest changes. kudzu-1.1.87-1, MAKEDEV-3.12-1, udev-030-22, & hal-0.2.97.cvs20040901-1. First, I get this message: Sep 9 08:44:43 buildhost kernel: PCI: Probing PCI hardware (bus 00) Sep 9 08:44:43 buildhost kernel: get_random_bytes called before random driver initialization This doesn't sound good. Then I got a series of messages like: "/sbin/restorecon get context on /dev failed: Operation not supported" "/usr/sbin/setfiles unable to obtain attr for /dev" These did not get into syslog. Problems from restorecon & setfiles like this should be logged. Then kudzu detected my usb hub twice. And finally: Sep 9 08:44:53 buildhost fstab-sync[2607]: removed all generated mount points Sep 9 08:44:53 buildhost fstab-sync[2649]: added mount point /media/idedisk for /dev/hda5 Sep 9 08:44:54 buildhost fstab-sync[2655]: added mount point /media/idedisk1 for /dev/hda1 Sep 9 08:44:54 buildhost fstab-sync[2686]: added mount point /media/scsidisk for /dev/sda2 Sep 9 08:44:54 buildhost fstab-sync[2689]: added mount point /media/scsidisk1 for /dev/sda1 I hand edit my /etc/fstab to only have these disks: /dev/sda3, /dev/sda5. I really do not want anything else accessible to the system...its a security violation in my view. The sad part is that it did not recognize the cdrom which is /dev/hdc. -Steve Grubb __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Threw some python errors. Didn't catch what they said and not recorded in boot.log. Are these known problems or do you need me to post bugreports? I'm about to download and install the x86_64 version alongside this one now. Matt

yum and local cache
by Alin Osan 11 Sep '04

11 Sep '04

Hello, The latest version of yum doesn't seem to use the local cache. If for some reason, yum -y update has to be restarted (dependency problem, conflicts), it begins to download all the files from the top, including those were previously downloaded. Is this a bug or a feature? -- -- We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. -- Alin Osan

mysql 4.0.21 and it's dependencies in FC3?
by Farkas Levente 11 Sep '04

11 Sep '04

hi, i know it has a long discussion in many redhat list, but since yesterday there is a new situation. after the first mysql released in the 4.x series which contains the foss license exception and that was the main reason why not included in any redhat/fedora ditro. is there any chance to get mysql 4.0.21 into fc3? or is it too late now? of course this means all other packages which depend on mysql should have to rebuild also. yours -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

Re: dev rpm update problem

Is this a bug? I had the same problem but upgrading from dev-3.11-1 to dev-3.12-1 The pre-install script of the rpm is looking for devfs into /proc/mounts and it founds none /dev tmpfs rw 0 0 I did succeed to upgrade by executing the pre-install script by hand, ignoring the devfs check ( #if [ -r /proc/mounts ]; then # while read source mountpoint rest ; do # if [ "$mountpoint" = "/dev" ]; then # echo $"Cannot install the dev package: mounted devfs detected." # exit 1 # fi # done < /proc/mounts #fi [ -d /dev ] || /bin/mkdir /dev /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 19 -r -f floppy > /dev/null 2>/dev/null /usr/sbin/useradd -c "virtual console memory owner" -u 69 \ -s /sbin/nologin -r -d /dev vcsa 2> /dev/null ) and then using --nopre rpm option rpm -Uvh dev-3.12-1.i386.rpm --nopre -- This message was scanned for spam and viruses by BitDefender For more information please visit http://linux.bitdefender.com/
