Please review this list of potentially missing .so symlinks.
by Jef Spaleta 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Back story: talking to che in #fedora-devel, and he came across the fact that libgnomebt.so symlink was not included and thus he was unable to build and link to libgnomebt. Che did a little digging and discovered a small error in the spec that left the symlink unpackaged. Appearently, to my great horror, rpm doesn't notice when symlinks go unpackaged and doesn't warn about it when building a package. Made me wonder if there were other missing .so symlinks. The idea: So that got me to thinking, is there a not so clever way for me to get a summary of potentially missing .so symlinks for a fully installed fc3 system so we can get these reported in one big push. So i did myself a full install, ran ldconfig and captured the output of ldconfig -p. I then parsed the output of ldconfig -p using a drop dead stupid shell script to get a list of candidate missing .so symlinks file locations based on the existance of .so.* in the same directory and compared that list to rpmdb-fedora to doublecheck those specific file locations were not in an available core package. The result: I have a list of 49 POTENTIALLY missing .so files from the fc3 package set. I stress potential because i know this was a very un-clever way to approach this, and I'm sure there are several special case situations that I'm misflagging with my script. For example, anything like libick-X.Y.so.Z will flags libick-X.Y.so as missing even if libick.so is there even though its not really a problem in most circumstances. But my goal was just to get the list down to something small enough to be human reviewable in a reasonable amount of time. Che has already gone over the list once, it was originally 78 or so potentially missing files. I'm sure there are false alarms in the list, but there are also some files that apear to both che and myself to be missing and filable as packaging bugs. There might be situations where the .so was delibrately left out that we are not aware of so I don't want to jump the gun and file bug reports without more review. For example libgnomebt.so and libgnome-window-settings.so jump out to me as real package errors if they were not delibrately left out. So please take a look at the list of potentially missing .so files below and comment on specific files that you think are definitely missing because of a packaging problem that impacts the ability to build and link the dynamic library. This was from a complete fc3 install, I haven't had a chance to do this with a full rawhide install yet. -jef ld-linux.so libamu.so libblkid.so libboost_date_time.so libboost_filesystem.so libboost_prg_exec_monitor.so libboost_python.so libboost_regex.so libboost_signals.so libboost_test_exec_monitor.so libboost_thread.so libboost_unit_test_framework.so libc.so libdw.so libFS.so libg2c.so libgcc_s.so libgcj.so libgfortranpreview.so libGLw.so libgmodule-1.2.so libgnarl-3.4.so libgnat-3.4.so libgnomebt.so libgnome-window-settings.so lib-gnu-java-awt-peer-gtk.so libgthread-1.2.so libhpojip.so liblber-2.2.so liblber.so libldap-2.2.so libldap_r-2.2.so libldap_r.so libmDNSResponder-0.9.6.so libNoVersion.so libnss_db.so libnuma.so libobjc.so lib-org-w3c-dom.so lib-org-xml-sax.so libparted-1.6.so libptal.so libpthread.so libpwdb.so libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so libstdc++.so libsvn_swig_perl-1.so libsvn_swig_py-1.so

Missing xorg header files
by Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Hi, I am trying to make a RPM for NVU (the mozilla based webeditor from linspire), but the compilation fails with due to missing: X11/extensions/Print.h Googling I find other people mentioning the that the headers are missing but no reply on why or when they can be expected to be back. Or if they are gone for good and app developers need to stop using them. Hope someone here can provide some insight. Christian

APT repository problems with up2date
by Jos Vos 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Hi, Before I start digging in the up2date code myself, maybe someone can comment on this: I have a problem when using up2date up2date with my self-created APT repositories. When updating, it complains about conflicting files: it just thinks that a long list of directories that are shared among packages conflict with each other. Apt-get itself (and synaptic) seems to work fine with the same repository, only with up2date there is a problem. Also, up2date with a yum repository of then same package set works fine, as does yum itself. FWIW: I generate my APT repositories with --flat --bloat.

Laptop mode and SCSI disks
by W. Michael Petullo 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

I am interested in using the kernel's laptop mode to reduce the power usage of a server. The server has an external IEEE 1394 drive that could easily be spun down for large periods of time. The IEEE 1394 drive is, of course, treated as a SCSI disk by the kernel. I have found that spinning down SCSI disks is not as easy as spinning down IDE disks. I have found utilities to do this, but they require kernel patches and these patches do not seem to exist for the 2.6 kernel's SCSI sub-system. Scsi-spin, scsi-idle and noflushd are some of the options I've looked at. Is anyone working on automatically spinning down SCSI (including USB and IEEE 1394) disks? Would it be worthwhile for me to try and port the 2.4 "spindown ioctl" patch to 2.6? Or does similar functionality already exist in 2.6? I also have some questions about laptop mode specifically: Is there something "magical" that causes disks to spin down after a certain inactivity period when laptop mode is enabled? Or does "hdparm -S X" still need to be used to set this? "hdparm -S 1 /dev/sda" currently says: /dev/sda: setting standby to 1 (5 seconds) HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setidle1) failed: Invalid argument would hdparm also need to be patched to support SCSI disks? -- Mike :wq
