libgweather 50Mb??
by Vasile Gaburici 17 Aug '08

17 Aug '08

Isn't there some streamlined way of installing this? I mean, for a feature I never use this is one of largest packages dumped on my disk. # rpm -e libgweather error: Failed dependencies: libgweather.so.1 is needed by (installed) gnome-applets-2.22.3-1.fc9.i386 libgweather.so.1 is needed by (installed) gnome-panel-2.22.2-2.fc9.i386

FontForge FontView?
by Vasile Gaburici 16 Aug '08

16 Aug '08

According to http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/source-build.html, it's recommend to install the FontView bitmap font, which is used to label the font matrix entries, so you can visually check if you put the glyphs in the right slots. Shouldn't Fedora be shipping this? I know it's a bitmap font, but unless you're volunteering to move fontforge out of the X11 font world, FontView is needed to use it properly. According to http://khdd.net/kanou/fonts/ff/fontviewfont-en.html, FontView is a derivative of clearlyU, but with a lot more coverage (60K+ glyphs vs 9K+). Perhaps we should package FontView instead of clearlyU?

Is it OK to leave with that warning ? Should it be fixed like Paul shows {with symlinks} in the above bug ? Or is there another easy fix that doesn't require such trickery ? Cheers, DaveT.

WARNING: Empathy/Haze & MC Profiles Update: Slight Manual Fixing Required
by Peter Gordon 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

Hi, all. The Mission Control profiles in the telepathy-haze-mission-control package were originally created manually based on the Jabber/XMPP profile to allow Telepathy-using applications to support the basics of libpurple's more common protocols: AIM/ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo! IM. However, these are getting rather stale and upstream Empathy already has nicely-working profiles for Haze (with more protocol support than the old subpackage). So, in an effort to more closely track upstream's code and profiles (therefore slightly reducing the package maintenance work), I have committed and am now building new telepathy-haze and empathy packages that use Empathy's profiles instead of manually-created ones. These should hit tomorrow's rawhide but unfortunately it means that the profiles have been renamed. I have included a script named "upgrade-haze-profiles.sh" (installed as documentation) with Empathy that automagically fixes this on a per-user basis; but this script needs to be run manually. (Come to think of it, we may need to add this as a minor upgrade-related fix in the Release Notes...) Thanks, and happy hacking. :] -- Peter Gordon (codergeek42) GnuPG Public Key ID: 0xFFC19479 / Fingerprint: DD68 A414 56BD 6368 D957 9666 4268 CB7A FFC1 9479

Evolution unstable due to being unable to expunge folder
by Paul F. Johnson 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

Hi, Evolution seems to be rather problematic for me currently. It is unable to expunge folders (and sometimes store folders). When I try to expunge a folder, it fails with an error that says "Detected a corrupt mbox file or an invalid 'From' header". I've deleted the index files and recreated them (which screws my email up something rotten!) but still can't expunge. I've also deleted all of the emails and then tried to expunge. I get "storing folder x%" (where x can be anything) and then it fails. This inability to store the folders is causing evolution to become very unstable (crashes quite a few times every 10 minutes). I've tried evolution --force-shutdown and then restarting and expunging, but get the same problem. Any ideas on fixing this? I'm using evolution 2.23.6-1.fc10.i386 TTFN Paul -- Sie können mich aufreizen und wirklich heiß machen!

Important infrastructure announcement
by Paul W. Frields 15 Aug '08

The Fedora Infrastructure team is currently investigating an issue in the infrastructure systems. That process may result in service outages, for which we apologize in advance. We're still assessing the end-user impact of the situation, but as a precaution, we recommend you not download or update any additional packages on your Fedora systems. We'll share updates as we develop more information. Those updates will be published here on the public fedora-announce-list: https://redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-announce-list Thanks for your patience as we continue working on this. -- Paul W.
