upgrading RH 9 system->Fedora with iso files and apt only
by Didier Casse
I have the yarrow's iso files on my HD in a RH9 system. Let's say I want
to upgrade selected packages using an "apt-get install" pointing to my
iso-mounted files, how do I do it?
i.e I mount the iso into some /mnt/yarrow1, /mnt/yarrow 2 etc..
Then what is the complete procedure to make my apt look into my own HD to
upgrade packages. Can anybody redirect me to the correct
resource or some literature hanging on the web? Thanks.
Assume also that I do not wish to burn CDs! I do not want to use
apt-cdrom. Thanks.
With kind regards,
Didier.

autoconf breakage on x86_64.
by Sam Varshavchik
I don't know the right way to fix this, but something is definitely broken;
and something needs to be fixed, one way or the other. The question is what
exactly needs to be fixed.
Consider something like this:
LIBS="-lresolv $LIBS"
AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC(res_query, AC_MSG_RESULT(yes), AC_MSG_RESULT(no))
Here's what happens on x86_64:
gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -I.. -I./.. conftest.c -lresolv >&5
/tmp/ccW7EeDX.o(.text+0x7): In function `main':
/home/mrsam/src/courier/authlib/configure:5160: undefined reference to
`res_query'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:5147: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
[ blah blah blah ]
| /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
| builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */
| char res_query ();
| int
| main ()
| {
| res_query ();
| ;
| return 0;
| }
The same exact test on FC1 x86 will work.
The reason appears to be that you have to #include <resolv.conf> on x86_64
in order to succesfully pull res_query() out of libresolv.so. You don't
need to do this on x86, and the test program generated by AC_TRY_LINK_FUNC
does not include any headers, but uses a manual prototype.
So, what now?

dbus-qt
by Frederick Alexander Thomssen
hi,
once dbus-qt was removed from fedora because there was no use for it. but now
kde 3.4 supports dbus-qt for the media:/ protocol which indicated if a new
device was connected. so there now is a use for dbus-qt so i think it ought
to be included.

Printing system proposal
by Remco Poelstra
Hi,
It's very quiet on this list about printing, so I thought it would be a
nice idea to put forward a proposal. I don't know if there are internal
redhat discussions about this subject, but I think I'll find out soon :).
It's a rahter lengthy explanation with a diagram so I put it up here:
www.beryllium.net/~remco/printingproposal.html
Kind regards,

that might very well be resolved through pup for fc4.
The question is what kind of error messages do you get
from the loki installers if gtk1 is not installed on
the system already.

- No longer define JAVA_HOME in default shipped java.conf (me)
- Search if $JVM_ROOT/jre or $JVM_ROOT/java exist in functions if JAVA_HOME is
not defined in java.conf (me)
- Source ~/.java/java.conf in addition to /etc/java/java.conf in functions
(me)
- Make find-jar use the same error code as build-classpath (Joe Wortmann)
(note however find-jar was never intended to use directly in scripts, it's
a low-level way to test the search engine)
- Change macros slightly so they no longer wreak havoc on x86_64 systems
(Thomas Fitzsimmons for Red Hat)

handle real x86_64 JVMs cleanly.
