mono-tools and MD for f10
by Paul F. Johnson 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

Hi, I've more or less completed the update build for f10 to be using mono-2.2. Unfortunately, I can't build mono-tools or monodevelop for f10 as my box is running mono-2.4 from rawhide and for some reason, this breaks the build of both of these packages. I've attempted to build in mock, but get nowhere (mono-tools needs mono-devel >= 2.2 and mock is not pulling it in). If anyone has a few spare cycles, any chance of helping me with a build of both of these? TTFN Paul -- Sie können mich aufreizen und wirklich heiß machen!

PackageKit application icons
by Rick L. Vinyard, Jr. 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

I was just noticing that several of the applications in pkg-application (the PackageKit app) have cool app-specific icons (it really makes the experience much better). So my question question is... how did they get there, and how do I add them for the packages I maintain? I've searched on the fedoraproject.org wiki to no avail.

Scrubbing boot.iso from CD1 and DVD
by Jesse Keating 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

I've committed code to pungi that will prevent boot.iso from being on CD1 and the DVD. I've had various discussions with folks about this in the past, and given that boot.iso is 122M on x86_64 that's a lot of packages we could have instead. In the past, boot.iso was much smaller and it wasn't a big cost, things have changed. If anybody has a really good reason for why we should continue to put boot.iso on the media, speak now. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating

alsa x 2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10

Hi, the latest Fedora 10 kernel went back to alsa 1.0.17 I really do not understand why not going straight to 1.0.19 instead of patching 1.0.17 again. I agree alsa-1.0.18 had a lot of problems, but the fixes are in alsa 1.0.19. -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ

Default ISA/tuning flags for GCC, --enable-kernel= level for glibc
by Jakub Jelinek 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

Hi! dist-f11-gcc44 currently has gcc 4.4.0-0.X packages, which are almost ready for moving into dist-f11, but before doing that, I'd like to discuss defaults. gcc on most arches has a switch to select which ISA it can assume (i.e. what minimum CPU will gcc compiled code run on) and a separate option to tune for the same or other CPU. Currently in Fedora the tuning is I believe: ISA tuning i386 -march=i386 -mtune=generic x86_64 -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic ppc lowest -mtune=power6 ppc64 lowest -mtune=power6 s390 -march=g5 -mtune=z9-109 s390x -march=z900 -mtune=z9-109 ia64 lowest -mtune=itanium2 sparc -mcpu=v7 -mtune=v7 sparcv9 -mcpu=v7 -mtune=v7 sparc64 -mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=ultrasparc plus redhat-rpm-config tweaks something (-fasynchronous-unwind-tables and -mminimal-toc tweaking should IMHO remain in redhat-rpm-config): i686 -march=i686 -mtune=generic sparc -mcpu=v7 -mtune=ultrasparc sparcv9 -mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=ultrasparc The question is, do we want to change anything on this for F11? E.g. I believe Fedora hasn't shipped an i386 or i486 kernel for years, and especially the -march=i386 vs. -march=i486 difference is significant (-march=i386 doesn't have sufficient atomic instructions). The only -lpthread library we are using is NPTL and that doesn't support i386 anyway, so I think we should either use -march=i486 or -march=i586 (the latter has 8 byte compare and swap instruction) as the default, when -march= isn't specified. Similarly, I wonder what CPUs we want to support in Fedora for PowerPC, if e.g. -march=power4 default wouldn't be possible. On s390, is somebody running Fedora on some 31-bit hw still (G5/G6), or could we safely default to -march=z900 for -m31 as well and say -mtune=z10? On sparc I guess we could just -mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=ultrasparc always, given that the 32-bit support is being dropped. Another question is if we finally could bump the minimum supported kernel version in Fedora 11 glibc. Currently Fedora 10 glibc requires 2.6.9 or later kernel, which means it can't assume a lot of stuff (e.g. private futexes, a lot of added syscalls etc.), which means it has to test for them at runtime of every program (e.g. every threaded program does a dummy futex syscall to check for private futexes, for futex realtime clock support and has to use variables for this, instead of oring constants in the mutexes etc., and glibc has to check for ENOSYS and have fallbacks compiled in). 2.6.9 default comes I think still from the RHEL4 kernels. Could we bump this ideally to 2.6.29? It would mean Fedora 11 userland only runs on 2.6.29 and later kernels, but we could gain speed and decrease size of glibc shared libraries. For the -march/-mcpu default changes, I think nothing is required from the koji build infrastructure (I don't think there are 31-bit mainframes around in koji/brew and I don't think there are 32-bit powerpcs or i386/i486s among the build boxes either), on the other side that decision has to be made almost immediately (before the world is rebuilt with gcc 4.4.0). For glibc --enable-kernel= default this requires that all koji build boxes and anything else that needs to run Fedora 11 binaries runs at least 2.6.29 kernels, but the change might be still delayed for a few weeks.

Why does mkinitrd require plymouth?

why does mkinitrd require plymouth? There are different aims to adjust package dependencies for security or minimal installation reasons. For example: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Server We would like to eliminate several packages from the minimal install. # rpm -e libpng error: Failed dependencies: libpng12.so.0 is needed by (installed) plymouth-libs-0.6.0-0.2008.11.17.3.fc10.i386 libpng12.so.0 is needed by (installed) plymouth-0.6.0-0.2008.11.17.3.fc10.i386 libpng12.so.0(PNG12_0) is needed by (installed) plymouth-libs-0.6.0-0.2008.11.17.3.fc10.i386 [root@dhcp-lab-116 init.d]# rpm -e plymouth error: Failed dependencies: plymouth >= 0.6.0-0.2008.09.10.1 is needed by (installed) mkinitrd-6.0.71-3.fc10.i386 Can we have mkinitrd to optionally use plymouth? If its there, build it in to the initrd. Otherwise let a server boot in text mode since it doesn't have a video display on it? Thanks, -Steve
