chown xxx.yyy is now rejected
by Tim Waugh
The 'chown xxx.yyy' syntax has been deprecated for several releases
now, the correct syntax being 'chown xxx:yyy'.
The newly released stable version of coreutils, 5.2.0, now rejects the
old syntax unless _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 is found in the environment.
I have updated the spec files (in CVS HEAD) for all of the RPM
packages that I found using the old syntax, but I have not rebuilt
them. They will be rebuilt shortly -- I have notified the package
owners.
Once everything is settled down, perhaps we will be able to remove the
restriction that prevents user names containing '.'.

Updated Packages:
XFree86-4.3.0-62
----------------
* Fri Feb 27 2004 Mike A. Harris <mharris(a)redhat.com> 4.3.0-62
- Added new 2D driver from Alan Cox for Voodoo 1/2 hardware that does not
require Glide in order to function, and provides RENDER acceleration and
various other improvements above and beyond the XFree86 supplied "glide"
driver which we have not shipped in the past. Driver version 1.0beta3.
- Use new macros via_driver_name and voodoo_driver_name to avoid complexities
in host.def with XF86ExtraCardDrivers define.
compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.126
-----------------------
* Sun Feb 29 2004 Jakub Jelinek <jakub(a)redhat.com> 7.3-2.96.126
- standard conforming string compare (Jason Merrill)
- STL string thread safety on IA-32
- use ::operator new and ::operator delete in __default_alloc_template
(Benjamin Kosnik)
- clear unchanging flag of MEM/REG target in store_constructor
(Bernd Schmidt, #88420)
- avoid creating bogus ADDRESSOFs (on invalid input; Bernd Schmidt, #88424)
- remove length () == 0 optimization in c_str() if -wchar-stdc++,
since for types other than char and wchar_t empty () is probably not
defined properly (Bernd Schmidt, #88423)
- avoid creating unchanging MEMs in reload (Bernd Schmidt, #88425)
- fix excessive stack usage caused by the -fno-strict-aliasing
patch introduced in -112.7.2 (Vlad Makarov, #107552)

* Thu Sep 11 2003 Jakub Jelinek <jakub(a)redhat.com> 7.3-2.96.122
- rebuilt against glibc-2.3.2-85, so that long int off64_t is used
on ia64 (some older 2.3.x glibcs used incorrectly long long int off64_t)
gstreamer-plugins-0.7.5-2
-------------------------
* Mon Mar 01 2004 Alexander Larsson <alexl(a)redhat.com> 0.7.5-2

I am using pygtk and the rhpl stuff I have read through the devel guidelines
on fedora.redhat.com
I will talk to the K12LTSP community as well, thanks for the contact info :)

mp3's
by Matthew T. O'Connor
Hopefully a simple question: How do I get xmms to play mp3's on FC2 test1?
In all release versions of RH / Fedora, I can turn to 3rd party packagers
such as freshrpms etc... but what about for the devel tree? Does anyone know
where I can get non-core packages that track the devel tree?
Thanks,
Matthew O'Connor
ps, All my new audio goes to FLAC or ogg, but I have a large repo of my CD's
that I ripped to mp3 several years ago and converting mp3 -> ogg doesn't
sound good.

more borken deps
by Jurgen Botz
In current development dir...
* redhat-lsb requires /usr/bin/kill, which no longer exists because
it has been moved from coreutils to util-linux where it seems to
be /bin/kill
* gstreamer lib is updated but gnome-media, nautilus-media and
rhythmbox still require the old lib

re: New project
by Christensen Tom
I think I'm gonna have to agree with Hugo...
I don't really have any weight I'm just a user/part time bug finder, but I
absolutely hate the WinXP intro, and all other intros I've ever seen, just
get me to my desktop so I can start working already!!! (at least thats what
I always think when windows is playing its little goofy music and bragging
about how nice the system is)

A quick question...
by Christensen Tom
I started devel work on a DHCP configuration tool (as the configuration site
at fedora said there isn't one) I was wondering if I'm duplicating work? Is
another tool in the pipe somewhere? Should I jump on with those people? I
have quite a bit of DHCP experience and coding experience, I manage a large
enterprise network using DHCP, and some pretty advanced stuff like Option
82, and I've written alot of scripts to auto config my system for me, if no
one else is working on this, I should have a very alpha configurator by the
end of this week if anyone else is interested.
Thanks,
Tom

HI! New Project
by alexluca＠inwind.it
Hi guy! I'm Luca Ferrari, an Italian fedora translator.
Using Fedora and its desktop-oriented I think one thing:
why don't we create an animated introduction that runs at the first
boot, where you can look the news, the features, the principal
functions... of Fedora (a little bit like WindowsXP or Lindows)?
I think that it will a great surprise!
What do you think? I had a reviews: go to
http://luka4e.fedoraitalia.org/ and look: what do you think about it?
There is a preview with a firstboot style at
http://luka4e.fedoraitalia.org/intro
BYE!!!!!! And answer!
