Leaving?
by Hans de Goede
Hi all,
I'm seriously considering switching distro's after the AIGLX and target
audience discussion. I cannot believe how arrogant most of the replies
are, saying that if user install any third party software that then that
thirdparty software is their problem.
I also find this very hypocrite because normally when any chance
breaking thirdparty software is proposed for inclusion into the current
release people start screaming loudly. Like for example any suggestions
to introduce an update to Extras with an soname chance. But since the
thirdparty software breaking in this case is non OSS and since some very
LOUD people happen to dislike the thirdparty software breaking in this
case, they are all of of a sudden in favor of breaking thirdparty
software during a what is supposed to be stable release?
I'm just totally stunned by the arrogance in this discussion, the I'm
holier then thou stance. And most of all the total disregards to the
many end users who happen to rely on the thirdparty software in case.
I'm seriously starting to think that Fedora is not the distro for me to
be working on and switching to Ubuntu (by lack of a better alternative),
now some of the arrogant screamers may say fine, we won't miss you but
before saying so I would first take a look at owners.list in FE cvs and
than think again.
This is not meant as some kinda blackmail to stop the Xorg 7.1 update,
to be honest at this point I don't care about the 7.1 update anymore.
And as I said when I started the target audience discussion this was
never about the 7.1 update. Its about the principle of not knowingly
having a yum update during a stable release breaks peoples systems,
especially not with a smile on your face and saying behind those end
users backs that will teach them not to use binary crap. Because that
_IS_ what is happening here. Sure there are many advancements in xorg
7.1 and I'm not suggesting to leave it out FC-6 even if the binary
drivers aren't available at FC-6 launch time, but breaking stuff with
TOTAL disregard to a large group of end users, during a stable's release
lifetime is IMHO unacceptable. And what worries me is not this single
instance of breaking, its the attitude behind it and the ease with which
we (you?) step over the all of a sudden minor problem of seriously
hurting a significant group of end users.
Regards,
Hans

How to get gutenprint into FC6?
by Thorsten Leemhuis
Hi!
I know, FC6T2 is approaching, feature freeze was some days ago and it's
quite late for this sort of thing. But I'd like to try this anyway on
my never ending mission "improve hardware support in Fedora" (*1).
I'd like to get gutenprint (http://gutenprint.sf.net), successor of
gimp-print into FC6. Why? Well, the main reason: it supports a lot of
printers that are otherwise unsupported. Gimp-Print 4.2.7 (from Jul
2004) supports 554 printers, gutenprint 5.0 supports 732 printers (both
numbers according to linuxprinting.org). And there are a lot of
important new and currently shipping printers that are supported in
gutenprint, but not in gimp-print.
That's the main reason, but there are also a lot of other improvements
in gutenprint 5.0 -- those people interested in details can read them in
the release notes
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=435706&group_id=1537
There is already a gutenprint package updater review for Extras at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=199108
But Hardware support IMHO is something that belongs in Core if possible
(e.g. in this case). So how do we get this done? The maintainer of
gimp-print in Core lacks hardware to test the package.

thl
(*1) -- we still don't have a Intel 945GM driver for FC5 -- we got
updated nv drivers some days ago, but i810 wasn't updated to 1.5.1 --
but that one should work on 945GM according to

Using kudzu as a "black box"
by Christian González G.
(First of all, sorry for my english.)
Hi.
I hope this is the correct place for asking about kudzu. If not, please tell
me where I should go.
I'm creating a hardware detection tool for use it in a K12LTSP-based distro.
Is it possible to use kudzu for hardware detection in a different machine? I
mean:
1. In a thinclient, I get the output of lspci, dmesg or wathever kudzu needs,
using a boot floppy.
2. In LTSP server, I use kudzu for reading this output (maybe with -f
parameter) and get the apropiated modules for video, sound and network cards.
3. With this info, I'll create entries in lts.conf file for the thinclient.
Can I use kudzu as a "black box"? Is there a better way?
Thank you for any comment about this.

kernel modules in extras criteria
by Kevin Fenzi
Greetings.
Some questions have come up in the recent FESCo (Fedora Extras
Steering Comittee) meeting about criteria that should be used for
approving kernel modules in extras.
The current guidelines for kernel modules can be found at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/KernelModules
Aside from technical guidelines there is:
"Besides rules around the packaging there is one additional *before*
you start packaging a kernel module for Fedora Extras: Open a Review
bug in http://bugzilla.redhat.com and ask FESCo via
fedora<AT>leemhuis<DOT>info for permission if this module is allowed
for Extras. This requires that you give at least the following
informations:
Name of the package
URL of the project and a tarball of the latest version
License
A publishable explanation from the author(s) why the module is not
merged with the mainline kernel yet and when it's planed to get
merged. You of course can ask the author to explain it directly in the
bug report.
FESCo will look at those informations on the next meeting (those are
normally every thursday) and will vote if the kernel module is
suitable for Fedora Extras. If not it will explain the reasons in the
bug report for further discussion. For example ndiswrapper is not
suitable for Fedora Extras -- yes, it is GPLed software, but it taints
the kernel and most windows drivers won't work in the Fedora Kernel
anyway due to 4K Stacks.
Why all this?
The Fedora Project wants to encourage driver developers to merge their
sources in the kernel
It easier for everyone if the modules are in the main kernel (even for
the developers -- but they often don't know that yet)
There is often a good reason why the kernel developers refuse to merge
a driver. If it's not good enough for the kernel, why should it be
good enough for Fedora?
Most modules that are maintained independently of the kernel have
licensing issues that also make it impossible to ship them in Fedora
Extras."
This came up when talking about the zaptel-kmod package:
See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=177583#c41
See also the sysprof kernel module review:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191745
Questions:
- Should a kernel module where the upstream has no plans of merging
with the upstream kernel be allowed in extras? (This means it could
stay around in extras forever)
- If upstream says they are going to try and merge their module, but
never does (lack of time, technical issues, no real desire to, etc),
should the module be removed after some time?
- Should there be any other criteria? (renew approval every new
release, only allow modules for 1 year and remove, etc)
Any other thoughts on this issue?

rpm: rpmte.c:589: rpmteColorDS: Assertion `ix < Count' failed.
by Marcel J.E. Mol
Hi,
I have been hit by above message for some time now while trying to upgrade
glibc. This issue was already mentioned back in may with the advise to first
upgrade to the latest rpm.
Upgrading to the latest rpm fails on the rtld(GNU_HASH) dependency...
But I still wanted to upgrade to the latest glibc to for example install the
latest rawhide gnucash. So I forced the rpm upgrade using the --nodeps.
That worked but rpm now gives segfaults, as could be expected.
Now I manually ugraded to glibc-2.4.90-17.i686.rpm (by using rpm2cpio and
manually copying the tree to the root/usr partition while running from a
rescue CD).
The system is now running fine again and rpm does not segfault anymore. So
I again tried to upgrade glibc using rpm (to update the rpm database) but
still the assertion failure appears.
I'm lost... Anyone know how to get this fixed without reinstalling the
whole system?
Thanks,
-Marcel

aug 4th boot.iso backtrace
by Jason Dravet
I downloaded august 4th's boot.iso from rawhide. I burned it to CD, booted,
pressed enter when the fedora screen loaded. I selected English and US, I
was
trying a ftp install, I unselected IPv6, entered the download location and
directory pressed enter and I got a backtrace:
loader received sigsegv backtrace:
0x8048284
0xb7f27420
0x817e0bf
0x806a0f0
0x8065478
0x805e665
0x804af47
0x8153a07
0x8048131
The system is a tyan tiger S1832 motherboard (P3 850Mhz) with 256MB of RAM.
It
has an adaptec 2930U2 scsi card with 2 scsi hard drives. The network card
is an
Intel 1000/GT which works great on FC5.
