How to rebuild the kernel src rpm.
by TGS
How do I rebuild the kernel src rpm, after I have rebuilt a new version
from the src?
I have created a patch to the kernel, tweaked the kernel-2.6.spec, and
built the binary rpms for the kernel just fine. Problem is that I
cannot see how I build the src version of the rpm with my patch
included.

Rebuild installation CDROMs
by TGS
Hello,
How do I get information for rebuilding the CDROMs used for
installation? I need to rebuild the kernel used during boot, and
install into the isolinux directory. I have found a bit of information
on the web, and am mainly looking to see how to build the initrd.img
located in the isolinux directory. It seems quite a bit bigger than the
initrd that I build from source.

Whither nedit?
by Ian Pilcher
I just noticed that nedit is no longer present in Fedora Core 4 test 3.
Is there a plan to bring it back or move it to Fedora Extras? (I would
gladly volunteer to maintain a Fedora Extras package.)

tmpwatch and removing directories....
by Matthew Miller
tmpwatch never seems to remove directories unless I give it the -c flag,
which isn't always what I want to do. (In fact, usually it's not.) I think
the problem is still the one described by Aleksey Nogin in this bug from
July, 2000:
This problem existed for as long as tmpwatch was in RedHat distribution.
The problem is that by default tmpwatch uses atime for both files and
directories. But because tmpwatch is ran daily, the atime for
directories is always <= 1day, so it never removes them... I believe
that by default, tmpwatch should use atime for files and mtime for empty
directories...
Yet, that's marked as fixed in rawhide in August, 2000. Am I missing
something? Thanks....

Raising the bar for FC4
by Elliot Lee
Hi all,
Fedora Core 4 public release is currently targeted for Monday, June 6. To
hit that, we need some time in advance doing QA and final polishing. For
test releases that is usually about a week, but this is the final FC4
release so we need a bit of extra time to do the final steps.
This means that Monday, May 23 is the final final freeze for FC4. After
that, the bar for accepting changes into FC4 is even higher. Fixes will
need to be for showstopper bugs (data corruption, crashing programs, and
other things that impact a large percentage of users in a major way). I've
sent out reminder e-mails to people who currently own FC4Target and
FC4Blocker bugs in bugzilla, so you should know if you have specific bugs
to address.
If you don't have any bugs to address, you can still help by doing test
installs of rawhide. I'll also try to get a few intermediate test trees
out for people to install.
If the plan needs clarification, please let me know!

files without SE Linux labels on a default install - no Anaconda labeling
by Russell Coker
On an SE Linux system barring file system corruption and quota issues every
file on a regular file system (Ext3 etc) should have a SE Linux label.
As a test I did a default install of FC4T3 in the "Personal Workstation"
configuration and checked this. Below is the relevant output from setfiles
-v when relabelling the root file system.
It seems to me that /usr/share/apps/ksplash, /usr/share/apps/ksplash/Themes,
/usr/share/anaconda, /usr/share/anaconda/pixmaps, /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime,
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/boot, and the install logs are created by Anaconda
which doesn't apply SE Linux labels. Would it be possible to get Anaconda
changed to apply labels to files and directories that it creates?
I have no idea why the Portuguese Brazilian language file didn't get a label
when all the other language files did.
I have attached a list of all the files which aren't correctly labeled after a
default targeted install which I haven't dealt with in other messages. NB
this includes /etc/shadow...
setfiles: relabeling /usr/share/apps/ksplash from system_u:object_r:file_t to
system_u:object_r:usr_t
setfiles: relabeling /usr/share/apps/ksplash/Themes from
system_u:object_r:file_t to system_u:object_r:usr_t
setfiles: relabeling /usr/share/anaconda from system_u:object_r:file_t to
system_u:object_r:usr_t
setfiles: relabeling /usr/share/anaconda/pixmaps from
system_u:object_r:file_t to system_u:object_r:usr_t
setfiles: relabeling /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime from system_u:object_r:file_t
to system_u:object_r:lib_t
setfiles: relabeling /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/boot from
system_u:object_r:file_t to system_u:object_r:lib_t
setfiles: relabeling /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/pt_BR.UTF-8 from

.pyo files and cups
by Russell Coker
After doing a default install of FC4T3 I relabeled the file system. Ideally
such an operation should be a no-op as the install should have used the same
labels that the relabel operation does. Below is part of the output of
setfiles when performing the relabel. It seems that the pyo files were
created by a post-install script in the rpm package or by a system boot
script.
Could someone please advise on what programs are likely to need the access to
create such files?
setfiles: relabeling /usr/share/printconf/util/cups_import.pyo from
system_u:object_r:usr_t to system_u:object_r:printconf_t
setfiles: relabeling /usr/share/printconf/util/backend.pyo from
system_u:object_r:usr_t to system_u:object_r:printconf_t
setfiles: relabeling /usr/share/printconf/util/scan_usb_devices.pyo from
system_u:object_r:usr_t to system_u:object_r:printconf_t
setfiles: relabeling /usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_conf.pyo from
system_u:object_r:usr_t to system_u:object_r:printconf_t
