5. Your goals in the Fedora Project
I wish to help in the i18n efforts (no, I don't mean l10n)
mainly.
Which packages do you want to see published?
I don't have any special favourite that is not already
published in Core or Extras.
Do you want to do QA?
I'm fine with that, but it depends on the type of QA. I won't
QA packages or features I won't use.
Anything else special?
I also want to help make Fedora-based distributions possible,
both technically and legally. But I really don't have any idea of
a plan for that.
6. Historical qualifications
What other projects have you worked on in the past?
FarsiTeX (http://www.farsitex.org), FarsiWeb
(http://www.farsiweb.info), FriBidi (http://fribidi.sf.net/),
and patches to GNOME, Mozilla, KDE, and Qt. Currently the Persian
translation coordinator of GNOME and co-maintainer of GNU
FriBidi.
What computer languages and other skills do you know?
I'm fine in C, and know a little shell scripting (I have also
payed the autotools tax). I consider myself good at Unicode and
i18n-related issues, at least knowledge-level. I'm specially good
in requirements of the Arabic script and the languages written in
it (Persian, Arabic, Pashto, ...)
Why should we trust you?
You shouldn't!

freeswan ?
by Florin Andrei
Any plans to include FreeS/WAN in FC2?
Or is it still an issue related to "encryption is ammunition"?

partitioning bug during install: RH8/9 FC1
by Trae McCombs
Hey gang,
This has bugged me for eons, and I'm just now getting around to
rant^Wemailing the list about it.
>From my experience, Windows wants to be on the first drive of a system.
/dev/hda1 (or /dev/sda1). The problem I run into is when I'm trying to
slice up the drive is... I typically (bad or not, not looking for
flames on how I'm setting up the drive) do the following:
/dev/hda1 windows 2000 /windows
/dev/hda2 linux /
/dev/hda3 swap
[I know some people say put swap at the beginning of the drive...]
Anyhoo, the problem is when you create a partition of a smaller size for
/dev/hda1 than is for /dev/hda2, cfdisk, or whatever the GUI fdisk tool
is, will re-arrange the partitions every single time. meaning, it puts
the root partition / as /dev/hda1 and puts windows /windows as /dev/hda2
even though I've specified the direct opposite.
I've noticed this behavior since as far back as RH8.0 I believe.
Anyone else notice this?
I'm sure this probably doesn't need to go to this list, but I couldn't
think of a better one to send it to.
Trae
PS. Why did we stop including regular fdisk? It's nice to be able to
use this tool from time to time. Just put a button with "Experts Only"
or something and pop up a warning telling people they are entering a
world of hurt if they don't know what they are doing with the fdisk
tool.

Kernel Modlues ... RTL8101L question
by snookertb
Hello,
I have a system with a RTL8101L multi-function chip, e-net, sound, apci
and it still
refuses to function with Linux.. I loaded FC1 and upgraded to 2.6, still
no go.
Here is the chip ...
http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/products1-2.aspx?modelid=11
I assume either the 8139too driver needs updating or a new yet
undeveloped driver
would fix the problem.
Anyone have a pointer or URL to where I could find help or participate
in a debug
effort to get this RealTEK chip running?

Your goals in the Fedora Project
Submit packages that I would like to see published.
Which packages do you want to see published?
grace - popular 2D plotting program
povray - makes high quality computer graphics
openpbs - portable patch system to cluster computers
maui - job scheduler for computer clusters
Do you want to do QA?
No. Not yet. I mean, I'll try my best to make my packages of good
quality, but my experience might not yet be of value for assuring the
quality of packages in general.
Anything else special?
No.
Historical qualifications
I am totally unqualified. I have no qualifications. I've never
packaged anything before... but if I want the packages in yum, I'll
probably have to give it a good try. I've used linux for about 4.5
years, but have not done anything related to development.
What other projects have you worked on in the past?
I have never participated in any projects.
What computer languages and other skills do you know?
Fortran 95 and perl
Why should we trust you? <--- too blunt?
I'm not sure what this question implies.
I don't have the time to run a-muck, if that's what you mean. I don't
have the time to edit your files, if that's what you're worried about.
My lack of experience makes me question myself. I guess I'm reluctant
to trust myself until I've done something useful.

ndiswrapper and rawhide 2.6.0 kernel
by Warren Togami
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/
Has anyone managed to get this working with the latest 2.6.0 kernels
from Arjan or Rawhide? It seems to fail building completely.
It seems that the /lib/modules/VERSION/build that used to be a symlink
to the source tree in /usr/src/linux-VERSION is now a real directory in
the 2.6.0 kernel RPMS. I'm curious about why this change happened?

by Stan Bubrouski
Hey guys,
Is there any reason we include spamassassin packages but not razor
packages in fedora?

Your goals in the Fedora Project
Which packages do you want to see published?
I'd like to see netCDF (re-)added to the package list:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/
http://mitgcm.org/eh3/netCDF/
Do you want to do QA?
Sure, as my free time allows.
Anything else special?
I'd like to see Fedora run on AMD64, particularly
dual-CPU systems.
Historical qualifications
What other projects have you worked on in the past?
I've mostly worked on esoteric stuff:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qaxa/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ssnooper/
http://mitgcm.org/
My closest brush with a popular project were some small
patches submitted (and promptly rejected!) for support
of certain PTP camera features within GPhoto2.
What computer languages and other skills do you know?
C/C++, Fortran, bash, PERL, LaTeX, XML/SGML, PHP, ...
Why should we trust you? <--- too blunt?
I've been using Red Hat Linux pretty much exclusively
since 1997. I've been an active participant in a number
of LUGs and have put a lot of time into InstallFests and
teaching folks how to use OSS and Free Software. But is
that really any reason to *trust* me? ;-)

Re: Self-Introduction: Tim Giese

>excellent, maybe you can pack giram too? It's the only open source
>application I know which works with .pov files.
I think it's already available in rpm form :)
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/giram/
Another decent program is kpovmodeler, which should come in kdegraphics.
So, I think people who did a full install of fedora might actually have it.
(Kinda weird that people aren't packaging povray though ?)
I emailed the povray development team regarding the license and they said that putting it in fedora.us as an rpm is a-o.k.
I just put povray into bugzilla https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1145, so it just needs to go through the QA process.
