Revert curl change made for flash
by Josh Boyer
I'd like to formally request that this curl change be reverted:
* Mon Aug 11 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa(a)redhat.com> 7.18.2-4
- make miniature library for libcurl.so.3
Due to the fact that it was simply made to accommodate proprietary
software, as described in this blog entry:
http://wtogami.livejournal.com/27778.html
There are at least a dozen other proprietary applications that could
"benefit" from making similar changes to other packages, and we
certainly wouldn't make those changes for them. Flash should be no
different.

file system mount
by Amitakhya Phukan
hi all!
i have a system with fedora 7 and rhel 5 installed. recently, i changed
the f7 to rawhide. now whenever i boot up, it mounts all the file
systems related to rhel5 along with it and displays on the desktop.
dmesg says /dev/sda1 mounted on /media/_1 and so on. I want to disable
this feature. i don't know if this is anything useful ?? i even don't
know if its a feature or a bug... can any one please help me out with
this thing ? i understand hal is doing this (??), but why ? and even
when i unmount it, the same can still be found in /media. right clicking
on those partitions give me the option of mounting/unmounting them. but
i don't want to let them appear in my rawhide systems totally. anyone
else has this experience on rawhide??how do i disable it ??
thanks in advance.
with regards,
amitakhya phukan.

Problems with kernel-2.6.26 and 2.6.27-0.x.rc2
by Joshua C.
I have a strange problem with the 2.6.26 series kernel. 2.6.27-rc1
branch is ok but the same thing happens with 2.6.27.rc2 and the
following. 2.6.25 branch is ok.
I filed a bug report here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458901.
The kernel loads fine until showing "starting udev". then it just
stops and cannot continue. on the 2.6.26 branch i need to keep pressed
atleast one key for it to continue. Then it goes further and
everything freezes when no key is pressed.
2.6.27.rc1 was ok but the same thing showed in 2.6.27.rc2 onwards.
with the lastes kernel-2.6.27-0.287.rc4.git7.fc10 after "startig udev"
I get black and white stripps on my screen and only hardware reset
helps. This makes me think it is something connected with the kernel
modesetting and my radeon gpu. It could also be udev but it is fine
with 2.6.25 and if i keep at least one key pressed then 2.6.26 works
fine. in everycase dmesg shows nothing. What could it be? How can I
see where the problem is?

Very nice of you to write the tl2rpm converter
by Vasile Gaburici
It would have been even nicer had you cc'd fedora-devel-list...
For those that don't read the tex-live@tug list, or the ambassadors'
list, here's the tl2rpm (prototype) announcement:
http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2008-August/017190.html
My main concern is that %post actions will turn out quite hairy, see
below (you were probably on vacation then):

Initially I thought we could do without their installer, because I
found only 4 types of "execute", i.e. post install script actions in
the master texlive.tlpdb on CTAN. Then I had a look at their new
packager's sources:
http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/tlpkg/TeXLive/. Besides
the 4 generic "execute" types, there are plenty of hardcoded
package-specific things in TLPostActions.pm.
So, I don't see an easy way of dealing with this. Duplicating all that
stuff in rpm post scriptlets would be highly unmaintanable. The only
sane way would be to install their packager library first, and to
execute post actions from there as needed, which needs at least a
wrapper script since that code is Perl. It's more than I have time for
this weekend...

libdvdread slight API breakage
by Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski
Since libdvdnav (and libdvdread) have been forked by one of MPlayer's
developers, there's been a significant bugfixing effort going on.
Unfortunately, the new upstream broke the API a bit. While before
you'd use
#include <dvdread/dvd_reader.h>
now you have to use
#include <libdvdread/dvd_reader.h>.
A libdvdread build that requires the above change has already landed
in rawhide. The ABI hasn't changed, so there's no immediate need to rebuild.
Affected packages:
dvdauthor
k3b
lsdvd
python-kaa-metadata
Regards,
R.
