Any consensus on a groupware suite for FC/RHEL?
by Jos Vos
Hi,
Is there any sight on a choice of a "preferred groupware suite" to
be included in future releases of FC/RHEL, like OpenGroupware.org
or one of the other groupware projects?
Cheers,

Anybody see that Microsoft and Apple are being sued for network updates?
How does this affect yum?

AMD64 package help needed
by Michael Schwendt
Occasionally, there are reports about src.rpms which fail to rebuild for
x86_64, e.g. Gtkmm 2:
https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1421
To know whether a version upgrade fixes this, requires that someone
with an AMD64 system attempts at rebuilding it prior to release. Else
the release process looks like
QA for x86
-> PUBLISH for x86
-> bug report about x86_64
-> fix and prepare update
-> QA for x86 (regression testing)
-> if fix needs modifications, try on x86_64 again
-> PUBLISH for x86 and x86_64
and results in increased work for the packagers and reviewers.
If there are people from the Fedora for AMD64 community who read this,
please join and help!

Fwd: Is the Via C5J Esther not capable of NPTL in FC3 test 1
by Russell Coker
---------- Forwarded Message ----------
Subject: FW: Is the Via C5J Esther not capable of NPTL in FC3 test 1
Date: Sun, 18 Jul 2004 23:20
From: "Richard Brown" <richardbrown(a)viaarena.com>
To: <russell(a)coker.com.au>, <yusufg(a)outblaze.com>
Yusuf & Russell:
I have checked this issue with our CPU team; they say that this issue only
occurs in early generation versions of the VIA C3 codenamed Samuel 1 and
Samuel 2, which were available at speeds of up to 800MHz.
All subsequent versions of the processor, including the latest Nehemiah
core, do not have any problems. The forthcoming Esther part will also run
the application.
Hope this clarifies the situation.
Best regards
Richard

IPv6 conntrack (Wishlist)
by Trever L. Adams
It would be very nice to have ip conntrack handle ipv6. However, this
isn't going to happen. However, there is nf_conntrack
(http://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter-devel/2004-
July/016012.html) It will do the same thing. Please, take a look and
see if we can't have this in FC3.
Thanks,
Trever Adams

As per requirements:
1. Andrea Baravalle
2. United Kingdom, Sheffield
3. Research Associate

5. I would like to package GNU phpGrabComics in order to be included in
Fedora. GNU phpGrabComics is a quite mature software for grabbing comisc
from the web. I may be interested in packaging and/or collaborating to
other web-based applications.
6. I am the main developer of GNU phpGrabComics. I know quite well PHP
and XML/XSL. I have been involved in several web development projects. I
have been working long time on shopping comparision web sites, among
whom shopping.msn.it and costameno.it, using PHP, Apache, MySQL or
Oracle, Squid. My main activity is research (HCI, web usability). At the
present time I'm working in COSPA (http://www.cospa-project.org).

FC3 (and beyond) wishlist
by Peter Backlund
Hello.
Here's a list of things I'd like to be addressed in FC:
- system-config-packages that handles remote sources and updates (merge
with up2date frontend). Think Red Carpet.
Whatever happened to
http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/config-tools/specs/redhat-config-packages/
anyway?
- Clean up the menu. "Name-Generic Name" or whatever format is agreed
upon, but please make it consistent.
Preferably the order would be dependent on user locale, since for
example in Swedish, the order "Generic Name-Name"
sounds much more natural than the other way around.
Also, gnome-print-manager has 2 entries + the notification icon (which
does nothing when you run it from the menu).
More user settings should be moved out to "More settings...".
Sessions, proxy server and maybe a few others.
The "about myself", login manager photo and password dialogs could be
unified. Ideally there would not be overlapping
tools in user settings and system settings, but instead one should
have the option to apply the settings system-wide
(mouse, keyboard, display etc).
- modprobe.conf.d and prelink.conf.d, similar to ld.so.conf.d.
- A decision on how to, and tools for building and packaging 3:rd party
kernel modules, including driver updates.
- Red Carpet (+ Daemon) as preferred dependency manager. It is faster
than yum, written partly in python (unlike apt),
has a much better graphical frontend than apt (Red Carpet vs.
Synaptic), handles both installs, removals and updates
(unlike up2date). The only disadvantage as I see it, is that it was
developed by
the number one competitor (Ximian, now Suse/Ximian/Novell), so I
suppose this one would be out of the question (?).
- Clean up Xsession handling. Currently, there are session files in
/etc/X11/dm/Sessions, /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions and
/usr/share /xsession at least. There should be no more than one place.
And some Gnome issues:
- System sounds. And no, don't say "but there are system sounds!". The
existing ones are far worse than none at all.
Things like login/logout, "new mail", error/notification message
sounds, etc.
- Non-opaque resizing of splitter widgets (this is probably not
correctly phrased, but I think you know what I mean).
Currently GTK is simply too slow to have opaque resizing, and that
goes for XUL apps as well.
- Why is the file selector widget using double-click to show bookmarked
directories? This, to me, is highly irregular.
- In the file association manager, display a list of "known programs",
like in the "Run..." dialog, when you select a program
with which to open a certain file type.
