How to create Fedora Core 1 driver disks? (rehash of previous iteraid question)
by Paul Gear
Hi all,
I'm trying to use Doug Ledford's driver disk package
(http://people.redhat.com/dledford/) to create a driver disk for the ITE
RAID driver, and i'm missing something. I hacked the makefile to give
me a directory for FC1, but it doesn't produce the correct result.
Some things that were not clear to me from the doco:
1. Should the entire kernel tree be present at 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/ in
the directory where the kit is extracted? It seems that something is
required here, but my copy of the source from
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/ didn't seem to produce the correct
result.
2. Should the Makefile in scsi/ just make the driver i'm interested in,
or must it be for a full build tree with additional patches for the
driver i'm making?
3. What should the contents of scsi/ be? It seems that at least some
of the files need to be named differently from their names on the final
driver disk (e.g. module-info vs. modinfo, rhdd-6.1 vs. disk-info), but
i can't work out which ones need to be named which.
4. Some of the files in my scsi/ directory seemed to get copied and/or
linked into 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/. Is this normal, or am i doing
something else wrong?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

have nothing important to communicate. -- H. D. Thoreau, 1854

does cups work in rawhide?
by tony
OK, I'm fed up of trying to get CUPS to share a printer in FC1. Are the
GUI configuration tools fixed in FC2 RC please? Does any kind fedora
developer have a cupsd.conf file that will share a printer to mac os
X????
History:
working Redhat 9 with epson inkjet shared by CUPS to mac os x and
windows clients
upgrade to fedora core 1 - printer works as local printer. After long
uphill struggle re-shared to windows clients. Printer remains invisible
in Mac OS X 10.2.x...
Hours spent reading posts to mailing lists and documentation > 40
Hours spent tweeking, editing, un-installing, reinstalling...
TIA
Cheers

2.6.5-rc2-mm1: entry.S - Error: missing separator (Fedora AMD64 Core Release 1)
by Piet Delaney
I built 2.6.5-rc2 and it's running fine on a amd64 installed with
Fedora Core 1. Unfortunately the mm1 patch is giving me an assembler
error when macros with args are invoked in:

For example, the first error at line 184 is the invocation
of the SAVE_ARGS macro:

184 SAVE_ARGS 8,1 <------- HERE
185 movq %rax,ORIG_RAX-ARGOFFSET(%rsp)
186 movq %rcx,RIP-ARGOFFSET(%rsp)
187 GET_THREAD_INFO(%rcx)
The same code without the mm1 patch is identical.

Fedora Bug Day Tomorrow: March 24th 2004: It's Raining Cats and Bugs
by Leonard den Ottolander
Fedora Bug Day: Help in tackling some bugs and take some weight of the
shoulders of the maintainers. Pick your favourite package, poke it a
little and see what comes out.
March 24th, starting at 14:00 UTC (09:00 EST)
at #fedora-bugs irc channel on freenode
Join the discussion and help out with squashing bugs. If you think you
are not up to fixing bugs by yourself you can always help out in
investigating the validity of outstanding issues.
Some of you might remember that a couple of weeks ago I made a static
bug list to investigate gnome-panel bugs
(http://www.ottolander.nl/gnome-panel/). Editing the html for each new
bug was a bit tedious, so I decided to build a program in php which
allows you to create categories, assign bugs to these categories and
reorder the lists. This program is quite usable already, but I would
like to do some more testing and get some feedback, especially on
possible security issues, before I open it to the general public. This
program can be found at http://www.ottolander.nl/bughunt/ , but for now
you'll need a user name and a password.
If you think such a tool can come in handy you can request a user name
and password. Join #fedora-bugs and ask me (leonardjo) for it. If things
go well I hope to open that directory to the general public in a week or
two.
Some general info on Fedora Triage can be found in the
fedora-triage-list archives
https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/fedora-triage-list/ or
at the following URLs:

Hope to see you around tomorrow,
Leonard.

policy for upgrading to newer versions of various packages
by Marius Andreiana
Hi
Is there a policy for upgrading Fedora test packages to various
versions?
There are some mails to devel list saying "package xxx is out, where
from can we gen an updated rpm?"
I guess it depends from package to package, depending on importance and
resources to rebuild it. For example, evolution 1.4 will be in FC2, but
we can get RPMS for FC2 from Jackub homepage. The same way Nils P.
provided rpms for GIMP while it was nearing 2.0 release and Arjan for
kernel.
Can we get a list with these places?
Is there a repository where from we can try OOo 1.1.1rc3? Can this be
included in FC test 2 instead of current 1.1.0?
Thanks
