Heads-Up: Beware of xmlCleanupParser() when your package links against libxml2
by Lennart Poettering 18 Jan '10

18 Jan '10

Heya! if you have code that links against libxml2 and calls xmlCleanupParser() please verify that your project does that at the appropriate place (i.e. immediately before exiting, and only once). That function might delete TLS fields that belong to other libraries (such as PA's client libs) if called twice. To the effect that PA might look bad. And I don't like that. So, please: if you have a library linking against libxml2, verify that xmlCleanupParser() is called at the appropriate places and only once. For now at least Empathy and Abiword are calling this function where they shouldn't, but a google code search reveals that at least inkscape and dia do it too. I stopped looking after that, extrapolating that this means "everyone is doing this worng". Hence this mail. For more information see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=554903 http://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/tree/parser.c#n14002 I also asked that libxml2 warns directly about this misuse: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=554903 Thanks to Michal Schmidt for tracking this down.

OT: writing gobject-based plugins
by Christoph Höger 18 Jan '10

18 Jan '10

Hi, I am currently playing with gobject to learn some of this boilerplate stuff. For my small application I'd like to be able to write plugins that are derived from an abstract class. I can enumerate those plugins with g_type_children(), but only after they have been instantiated. Is there a way to enumerate classes before this point? Since C has no runtime system at all, this would require some macro magic I guess... regards Christoph

Missing multi-lib -debuginfo files.

Hello all, I'm trying to debug an issue with 32bit application running on top of x86_64 F12 installation. (Using multi-lib i686 RPMs) However, debuginfo install doesn't seem to be able to resolve i686 debuginfo. $ debuginfo-install alsa-lib.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 dbus-libs.i686 pulseaudio-libs.i686 glibc.i686 Loaded plugins: dellsysidplugin2, fastestmirror, presto, refresh-packagekit Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * fedora: mirror.isoc.org.il * rpmfusion-free: ftp.nb.lug.ro * rpmfusion-free-updates: ftp.nb.lug.ro * rpmfusion-nonfree: ftp.nb.lug.ro * rpmfusion-nonfree-updates: ftp.nb.lug.ro * updates: ftp.stw-bonn.de ...

libsemanage : does not adhere to Static Library Packaging Guidelines
by Carl Gaudreault 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

Hey, can someone take a look at this bug report on Bugzilla ? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=556073 Carl Quoted from Michael Schwendt <mschwendt(a)gmail.com> : The package is in need of an update because it does not adhere to the guidelines for packaging static libraries: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Librari… The -devel package contains both the shared and the static build of a library. That makes it possible to link statically with the -devel package as a build requirement instead of having to build-require a special-purpose -static subpackage. Correct would be to either disable/delete the static libraries at build-time, or to %exclude them in the %files section, or to split off a -static subpackage (if there is a compelling reason as why the static libs should be made available). Please consult the guidelines for the details. [...] libsemanage-devel /usr/lib/libsemanage.so <=> /usr/lib/libsemanage.a

Proposed change to openmpi packaging
by Doug Ledford 16 Jan '10

16 Jan '10

We are discussing the complete removal of pkgconfig support from openmpi (and never including it in mvapich and mvapich2 which are ready for Fedora package review submission). The proper way to invoke mpi compiles is through the use of the mpicc (or equivalent) compiler instead of directly via cc/gcc with -I and -L -l statements. The reason is that the proper list of things to pass to gcc may vary from build to build and while mpicc is built each time and is always in sync with the options used to build the mpi package, the pkgconfig files are handled manually and subject to bit rot over time. If there are objections, please raise them now. -- Doug Ledford <dledford(a)redhat.com> GPG KeyID: CFBFF194 http://people.redhat.com/dledford Infiniband specific RPMs available at http://people.redhat.com/dledford/Infiniband
