hald hitting ACPI files in fc4t1
by Pete Zaitcev
Hello:
I installed fc4t1 and noticed that totem's video stutters quite a bit.
Sometimes the keyboard input in gnome-terminal feels lagging, too.
It turned out that hald was causing it. Running strace on it showed
nothing more than periodic access of ACPI files in /proc. My hypothesis
is that these accesses cause AML interpreter to work.
I have two questions. Is this something new or interesting (e.g. do you want
a bug)? And, can something be done about it (can it be made to poll once a
minute or so)?
Greetings,
-- Pete

Kickstart Install Not Contacting NFS Server
by Keith Abino
I'm trying to do a kickstart install with the kickstart file in
initrd.img and the install media on an NFS server on the same
subnet. The kickstart installation bails and dumps me to an
interactive installation with the message "directory could not be
mounted from server".
If running a tcpdump on the NFS server I can confirm that no
traffic has come from the kickstarted client to the NFS server.
However, when I'm dumped back into interactive mode if I just hit
ok with the NFS server info and directory (the information that
come from my kickstart file) the directory mounts flawlessly and I
can proceed with an interactive install.
Have any of you experienced this and know what the issue might be?

FC4 perl module upgrades/cleanups
by Warren Togami
Right now I'm looking at cleaning up and upgrading all perl modules in
FC4. The specs of many of the perl modules have ancient crap that
should be cleaned up and modernized. Among the stuff I want to do:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2005-March/msg00095.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2005-March/msg00096.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2005-March/msg00097.html
* Remove brp-compress calls from all packages, as it isn't doing
anything useful. (Right?)
* Update URL and Source0 to actual modern CPAN addresses.
* Clear out most of the trival to minor perl-* FC bugs, which are mainly
"upgrade this" and "fix the spec".
* Requires: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_%(eval "`%{__perl} -V:version`"; echo
$version))
Do we want this in all perl packages, both regular arch and noarch?
* %define _use_internal_dependency_generator 0
Many of the ancient specs have this. Might be nice to get rid of it,
but it will require some careful verification comparing the before and
after in order to be sure the rpm-auto-dep isn't demanding bad
dependencies like Win32 crap. Is this worth doing? Need your opinions.
* Identify all modules that have a newer version available in CPAN.
Would be nice if we had a script to compare a devel CVS checkout to CPAN
and output a list with URLs or something.
Contributors like Ville, Robert and Jose have been very helpful in
submitting good spec rewrites for perl packages in the past. So I hope
the community can help with cleaned up spec unidiffs (along with version
upgrades) to be submitted to Bugzilla, one report per package. Perhaps
discuss here who will do which package. I'll do some myself.
Thoughts?

bluecurve was part of an effort to unify the interface
differences. with gnome and others shifting to the
upstream defaults, it makes more sense here to do this
now IMO

kernel source code
by not disclosed
Dear All,
RE: In order to eliminate the redundancy inherent in providing a separate
package for the kernel source code when that source code already exists in
the kernel's .src.rpm file, Fedora Core 3 no longer includes the
kernel-source package. -
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc3/x86/
I think this is a big mistake - kernel-source didn't harm anyone and
removing it hugely increases the amount of hassle involved in any kernel
upgrade. You have to accept that fedora users will be using stuff that lies
outside the fedora world of nicely packaged programs and this means that
users need the source code. The hassle involved with this elimination of
the kernel source code package is irritating enough for us to consider using
another distro when we come to change from FC2.
Please put the kernel sourcecode back.
Cheers,
SA
