AFAIK a lot of people just do not use SELinux and even prefer to remove
its packages. It seems to me that a hard requirement of
"policycoreutils" is not a good thing here.
Maybe just check in %post and %postun whether the "semodule" binary is
present (i.e., "[ -x /usr/sbin/semodule ] && ....")? Or use %triggerin
for policycoreutils...
How another packages deal with similar things?

Fedora Orphaned Package Removal: November 29th 2007
by Warren Togami
Fedora Engineering Steering Committee is considering removal of packages
from rawhide who have been without owners since prior to Fedora 8
sometime after the next FESCO meeting on November 29th. The Fedora
Project routinely removes unmaintained packages from future
distributions in order to responsibly scale the growth of maintenance
burden with developer resources available within the project.
http://fedorapeople.org/~wtogami/temp/rawhide-removals.txt
Packages listed on this page are scheduled for removal unless an
existing Fedora maintainer claims ownership.
http://fedorapeople.org/~wtogami/temp/rawhide-removals.txt
A Fedora package developer may use their Fedora Account in PackageDB to
claim ownership of an orphaned package.
Removal of an orphaned package entails "blocking" it in the buildsystem
so it does not appear in the rawhide repository, and files in CVS of the
"devel" branch being replaced with an empty "dead.package" file. At a
later date if a Fedora package developer wishes to revive a dead package
they may do so by claiming ownership in pkgdb then requesting the koji
block to be removed. It is however a bit easier if ownership is claimed
prior to orphan removal, so please claim packages now if possible.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These removals do not effect prior releases, including
and up to Fedora 8.
Please send any questions to fedora-devel-list.
Thank you,
Warren Togami

Orphaning thinkfinger
by Julian Sikorski
Hello there,
I am hereby dropping maintenance of thinkfinger. There are currently 3
bugs currently opened against it (#343271, #394181 and #356921), one of
which is multiarch conflict due to doxygen weirdness, second one if
fedora-specific and eventually the last one is claimed to be
fedora-specific by upstream (this was questioned by is left without
answer so far).
I am dropping the package since upstream does not seem to be very
responsive most of the time, and due to my lack of coding skills I can't
fix the bugs myself. I'll release the pkgdb ownership later today.
Regards,
Julian

Backing up a nearly dead HDD
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
It looks like my problem with readahead isn't readahead!
The drive which has my home directories seems to have a problem. If I log in
as root (please don't bitslap me yet!), and from the command line look at the
home directories, I can see paul, becki, richard and lost+found which is fine
as they're supposed to be there.
If I then try to look at the contents of /home/paul, it takes ages and the
hard drive makes funny noises, so I'm thinking it's at the end of it's life
more or less.
fsck shows some bits and pieces, but essentially, it's not picking up any
problems.
Is there a way I can copy everything from one drive to another and keep the
permissions from a dodgy drive to a working one? cp -ar seems an option, but
it takes a while!
TTFN
Paul

exchange email in fedora 8
by Valent Turkovic
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=296671
With latest updates I still see this bug.
I work at an ISP company and we use Exchange for our email servers
(unfortunately) and I have used Fedora Core 6 as my work desktop for
over a year or so.
I would like to update my system (ie. clean install) to Fedora 8 but I
need 100% working exchange email client.
This is a really big issues with anybody who needs an up to date linux
desktop because this bug currently prevents me from migrating to new
Fedora 8!
Can you please suggest some way I can use exchange on fedora 8 and so
that GAL works? Some beta version of your evolution packages? Maybe
some older versions of evolution?
Thank you,
Valent Turkovic.

It's a valid reason for not using : as separator.
It's not a valid reason to continue the hidden magic epoch policy.

Michael, The build did not succeed so that made things a little simpler.
I did as you suggested and updated CVS HEAD with the older version.
That was a pretty simple fix. I also noticed that running "make build"
in any branch prior to FC-6 fails. I'm guessing this is expected.

Tom, thanks for all your work the package now builds on all archs. I
have submitted the compiler patch upstream. When I get a new version
back from upstream (which should be soon) I'll push the update to F-7
and F-8.
