How to proceed with MiniDebugInfo
by Alexander Larsson
I'm at a loss to how to proceed with the MiniDebugInfo work. I have
patches to rpmbuild that creates the compressed minidebuginfo putting
them in the main binaries, and I have patches to gdb that reads the
compressed debuginfo on demand.
However, the whole thing is useless unless we agree that we want to
enable this by default. It seems some people like the idea, whereas
others disagree that its worth the increased binary size. It doesn't
look like either side is gonna be able to convince the other side, so
how do we get to a decision here?

Setting up Koji question
by Gregory Hosler
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi all,
I am setting up a Koji server, and following the instructions given on the
Fedora Koji wiki
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Koji/ServerHowTo
Part way down, there are directions on
Generate a PKCS12 user certificate
This is for web browser. This is only required for user certificates.
The statement to create such a certificate is:
openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey certs/${user}.key -in certs/${user}.crt \
-CAfile ${caname}_ca_cert.crt \
-out certs/${user}_browser_cert.p12
"caname" is globally set (in the above documentation) to "koji".
My problem is the "user" variable. There are no clues or hints as to what the
user variable should be set to.
Has anyone setup Koji before ? Anyone know how this should read ?
Many thanks in advance, and all the best,
- -Greg

PDF printing woes
by P J P
Hi,
I'm facing a weird printing problem with cups-1.5.2 on F16. I can print a document from the browser; But when i try to print a PDF document, it prompts me for the cups server password. I've tried with epdfviewer and Adobe Reader both halt at the same point.
===
(epdfview:17565): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_box_pack: assertion `child->parent == NULL' failed
WARNING: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-cKmdWq/pkcs11: No such file or directory

Is this some default cups policy issue? Has someone encounterd it before??
Thank you.

Update ImageMagick in Fedora 16

had been done it early off course). It seams addressed in rawhide.
So-name bump happened from .so.4 to .so.5
List of dependent packages are:
$ repoquery --whatrequires libMagickCore.so.4 libMagickWand.so.4
--source --qf '%{name}' | sed 's!-[^-]\+-[^-]\+\.src\.rpm$!!g' | grep -v
ImageMagick | sort -u

Please say there or private in 1-2 day if you willing update self
package when I submit build override. Otherwise I'll continue rebuild
all dependencies and submit all in single update on this week.

glusterfs rename
by Kaleb S. KEITHLEY
What hoops do I have to jump through, approvals, etc., do I need to
respin glusterfs rpms as glusterfs32 (for 3.2.6, and soon 3.2.7), and
the imminent glusterfs-3.3.0, which would be glusterfs33.
I.e. what is currently glusterfs-3.2.6-2.{fc16,fc17,el6} would become
glusterfs32-3.2.6-x.{fc16,fc17,el6}, etc. x would be what, 1? 2? Does it
matter?
And of course then respin HekaFS rpms with the dependency changed to the
new name.
This would serve two purposes: a) resolves the glusterfs in EPEL and RHS
Channel debate, b) lets us ship glusterfs33 in f16, f17, and f18 along
with glusterfs32+HekaFS, since we don't (currently) plan to update
HekaFS for glusterfs33. HekaFS features will be added to later releases
of glusterfs33.
Any hoops? Or can I just go ahead and do this?

How can we make security updates faster?
by Paul Wouters
Hi,
I've recently had release updates to two packages with CVE issues in
then. A few weeks ago, pidgin-otr needed a lot of me prodding people
to try it and give karma to get the security update out. Right now, my
socat CVE security releases sits in all four branches with no karma after
four days.
Is there something we can do to make these security updates move faster?
Perhaps a new mailinglist that just announces the security releases, to
remind people to test them and give karma.
Perhaps a gui app for people running post latest full release fedora
installs that checks if some software you are using is in need of karma?
Perhaps push security releases within 3 days if no -1 karma has been
received?
Push updates to stable when a certain download/install ratio has been
seen with no -1 karma?
Any other thoughts?

redeclipse: packaging symlinks and directory ownership
by Martin Erik Werner
Hello,
I have a couple of packaging questions for a new package, the FPS game
redeclipse[0], which are currently in testing[1].
1.
I have three resulting binary packages {redeclipse, redeclipse-server,
redeclipse-data} where redeclipse depends on redeclipse-data as the only
inter-dependency. (Splitting -data into a separate source package is a
future todo item...)
Currently all packages place files in %{_libexecdir}/%{name}/ (client
binary, server binary, and a symlink to the data dir).
In this case, should only the -server and -data packages own this
directory, or would it be more appropriate if all three owned it?
2.
I was thinking of moving the symlink from the -data package to the
client ("redeclipse") package, which would mean that unless the -data
dependency is installed, there would be a broken symlink, is this
something that's acceptable? Or need symlinks be unbroken within a
single package regardless of dependencies?
3.
redeclipse is currently pushed as an update to testing[1] (not in stable
yet), and this version includes the unowned directory
%{_libexecdir}/%{name}/ (which I discovered recently).
What would be my course of action with regards to the f17 update? Should
I abort it and push a new one (and go through the review process?), or
should I let it go and fix this in a subsequent update; how critical are
unowned dirs like this?
Thanks.

On a related note...
by Neal Becker
You know what was the painless part of this re-install? After firing up google
chrome, I didn't need to reinstall anything for it. It's all synced with gmail.
I find myself wishing that all my fedora packages could be restored just like
that.
Oh sure, there's a few methods for automaticing installs. But none are so
brain-dead easy. Imagine, just 1 click (or command) to sync all the packages
(and maybe /etc?) to some server, and 1 step to reinstall back to the last
state.
What's that? Wouldn't work over upgrades? Somehow it does for chrome. And for
android.
