gaim depends on tcl
by Pete Zaitcev
Hi, Christopher & others:
the gaim-0.75-1.3.0 requires tk & tcl, which I do not have installed,
so I went to investigate. The spec does not mention tcl anywhere.
So, obviously, during the build process, configuration picks
an installed libtcl/libtk, then somehow informs rpm that these
libraries are required. How does it actually happen?
I saw specs which have small sections like so
%{expand:%%define buildforrh7 %(A=$(awk '{print $5}' /etc/redhat-release); if [ "$A" = 7.2 -o "$A" = 7.3 ]; then echo 1; else echo 0; fi)}
......
%if %buildforrh7
BuildRequires: nautilus2-devel
%endif
I could understand if gaim spec had a scriptlet which parsed the output
of ./configure and set something like %wehavetcl, then added a Requires
like the above. But this is not what is happening. Can you enlighten me
about the magic workings in the case of gaim?
Thank you,
-- Pete
P.S. Aside from the spec magic, why would a modern application require tcl?

USB sound card.

Ok, so my USB sound card disappeared in the recent updates and new 2.6.4
kernel.
Anybody else see this problem and have a quick solution before I begin
to dig?

missing battery on acpi with Linux 2.6.4
by Rui Miguel Silva Seabra
Hi,
I upgraded Linux from 2.6.3-2.1.248 to 2.6.4-1.298 and now ACPI
doesn't seem to detect the battery.
Follows in attachment dmesg from both Linux's, it might be useful,
meanwhile I'll get back to 2.6.3-2.1.248.
I almost forgot, the only difference in my 2.6.3 from stock FC
development is swsusp activated (although it didn't work).
I have had battery present with previous 2.6 and 2.4 Linux's from FC.
Hugs, Rui

Yes, this anti-correlation is a shame for such a useful, needed
functionality. You are correct with your interpretation of my post; I
indeed would like to see a http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/tracker
page for this project.

Now, what ways can these legalities be dealt with to keep in line with
The Fedora Project's objectives? The underlying infrastructure is fine
as you mentioned, the issue is the with the content this infrastructure
interacts. I may be totally off-track here, but hosting a development
platform surely is different than hosting an implementation? Could this
not be the case for The Fedora Tracker Project? If we control what is
indexed, then development could continue as part of a Fedora
sub-project. i.e. fedora.redhat.com could implement a
DMCA/Fedora-compliant implementation (albeit limited), while Brad's full
version could be hosted elsewhere. This probably defeats the purpose of
Brad's goals for the Tracker however and wouldn't be very practical..

This statement, unfortunately, proves that my idea above is more of a
pipe dream. :( Even if a DMCA/Fedora-compliant implementation were
possible, it could never be as functional as it should be; - "bridge the
gaps, not throw up barriers"..

Flac in rythmbox.
by Konstantin Ryabitsev
Hello, all:
I may be missing something obvious, but I've not yet found a way to make
rythmbox play flacs. Can someone point me in the right direction?

The Fedora Core 2 Test 2 is out, but what about the bug id 118002 (or
118128)
and the Kernel 2.6.4-2.275 that fix the problems of this bug?
Thanks,

I think perhaps you misinterpreted what I was trying to say. Or perhaps
the fever I had yesterday affected my ability to communicate.
Looking back today at what Matt H. wrote, its pretty clear my feverish
state was affecting my comprehension. Matt H. was actually talking about
turning the tracker into a subproject of Fedora, to give it a homebase
for its development effort not necessarily incorporating it into the
main site's functionality, which is how i originally read it yesterday.
My main point being, as things stand, the potential usefulness of an
implementation of the tracker is anti-correlated to its potential
integration into official fedoraium functionality.
Once fedora extras opens up for contributors to use, i don't see any
obvious problem with trying to use whatever hosting services Red Hat
eventually provides for contributors who have new community initiated
fedora related projects. We'll have to wait and see how things develop
on that front. There's nothing inherently problematic with the tracker
codebase really, the problems are very much associated with building the
repo index. While the codebase itself might fit into an expanded idea
of a community development model, any really useful implementation of
this out in the wild has to be totally independent. Though, there could
be some people like .edu's who might want to use something like the
tracker in their intranet. If the fedora project does host web pages
aimed at development of the tracker your still going to run into trouble
trying to provide links from those development pages to a fully indexed
demo.

Personally i think yer going to find that job description is going to
become rather cumbersome if the number of repositories you index grows
to 100+ repos. I think you will find that, for a tracker to stay useful
as its popularity increases, there is going to have to be continual
human effort,editorial effort, to evaluate the worth of the listing of
individual repositories in the index. I think anyone managing a popular
implementation of the tracker, is going to have to develop some policy
with regard to what is and what is not indexed, if the point is to
provide users with a useful tool. Do you really want to list all the
possible repos? Even if that means 100 different repositories that
provide binary kernels with different modules turned off or on or
compiled in? Shall we index all the 4 package people.redhat.com
micro-repositories?

st.net ftp trees decided to build individual yum repo and wanted to be
listed with the index..1000 or so indexed repositories would
be...interesting"spaleta
