No xen rawhide boot images
by Orion Poplawski
No more os/images/xen in rawhide. Is this intentional? I'm not having
any luck using the pxeboot images with xen.

I'd like to get OpenGTL into F10, is it too late for that? (Assuming I
can get my ducks in a row w.r.t. getting in a CLA, anyway.) I posted the
.spec a while ago, haven't gotten any mail about it yet, though.

Did you hear about the pig that makes footwear for cows? He's a real moo

Old fakeroot bug on F7 onwards - where to download from
by Martin Langhoff
Hi!
Fedora 7, 8 and 9 are shipping a version of fakeroot that is affected
by a somewhat nasty race condition.
The bug was characterised here
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=381016 , and with
trivial repo steps here
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=446351 . This bug was
fixed in 1.8.2 - F7,8,9 ship 1.6.4.
Hopefully, F9/F8 can get an updated version of the package included.
Help and pointers welcome :-) If that's not possible, I will prepare a
package for the school server and offer it here.
To Clint - looking for a link to the latest version to grace this
email, I cannot find a source package or a tagged package anywhere.
The most recent release I can see on Debian is 1.9.5 on Lenny and
1.9.6 on Sid, but there are no upstream tarballs on Alioth. Fakeroot
is useful on many platforms - is it possible to arrange for publishing
the tarballs somewhere?
cheers,
m

Speeding up boot - an idea
by Chuck Ebbert
Has anyone played with increasing the size of the disk queues?
/sys/block/<device>/queue/nr_requests is the maximum number of queued
requests for the device -- the default is 128.

Orphaning perl-Net-Amazon-EC2
by Robert Rati
I'm orphaning perl-Net-Amazon-EC2 so that Lubomir Rintel can pick up
maintenance on that package.

fedorahosted git repo too large
by Yuan Yijun
Hi,
I just tried to download revisor git with this command "git pull
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/revisor master". I have to repeat 4-5
times since it breaks during downloading. The .git folder is about
58MB. After "git gc --aggressive" it becomes only 6MB.
Anyone please run gc on server?
