upgrading RH 9 system->Fedora with iso files and apt only
by Didier Casse 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

I have the yarrow's iso files on my HD in a RH9 system. Let's say I want to upgrade selected packages using an "apt-get install" pointing to my iso-mounted files, how do I do it? i.e I mount the iso into some /mnt/yarrow1, /mnt/yarrow 2 etc.. Then what is the complete procedure to make my apt look into my own HD to upgrade packages. Can anybody redirect me to the correct resource or some literature hanging on the web? Thanks. Assume also that I do not wish to burn CDs! I do not want to use apt-cdrom. Thanks. With kind regards, Didier. --- PhD student Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS) 5 Research Link, Singapore 117603 Email: slsbdfc at nus dot edu dot sg \or\ didierbe at sps dot nus dot edu dot sg Website: http://ssls.nus.edu.sg

pdftk retired?
by Michael J Gruber 08 Sep '21

08 Sep '21

I just git a "broken dependencies" notice for a package that I maintain. The reason is that "pdftk" got retired just the other day. I may have missed a corresponding post on fedora-devel, but I think a heads up notice to maintainers of depending packages may be in order before you retire a package, as a general idea. You see, unretiring a package is so much more work than changing maintainership. As for pdftk: I see 2 failed builds for version 1.45 and none for the current version 2.02 (which probably breaks the api anyways). What are the plans? Retire pdftk completely? Start fresh with pdftk2? pdflabs, the maker of pdftk, provide binary as well as source rpms for pdftk 2.02, by the way. I might even look into packaging it but don't want to duplicate any existing efforts. Michael

Rstudio
by Steve Grubb 20 Jan '18

20 Jan '18

Hello, I like to have everything on my system in a package. So, I looked around and found no recipe or rpm for Rstudio. This is really a shame because every tutorial on R kinda tells you to install it. Even the Coursera classes in the Data Science track make you install it and send a screenshot to prove it. So, I spent some time getting it packaged and working. I am placing the spec file and necessary patch here so that google finds it and saves other people the trouble. I'm not wanting to submit the package to Fedora because its more work than I have time for. If anyone else wants to take it from here and submit and/or maintain it, feel free. http://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/files/Rstudio/ Enjoy... -Steve

apitrace, bundled libbacktrace
by Sandro Mani 17 Dec '17

17 Dec '17

Hi, apitrace 5.0 bundles libbacktrace, which looks like is living within the gcc sources. libbacktrace is not build as a shared library from the gcc sources, and not packaged. Is it feasible to build libbacktrace as a shared library and ship it in a corresponding package? Or should I rather go for a bundling exception request? Thanks, Sandro

Xulrunner - intent to remove from Fedora 24
by Martin Stransky 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Hi, does anyone use the xulrunner package? (and gecko-devel actually). Mozilla does not maintain it any more and the XUL as technology is going to be removed/deprecated. I'd like to remove the package from Fedora 24. ma.

iproute package update policy
by Phil Sutter 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

Hi, So far my idea of maintaining Fedora's iproute package was to do full version updates only in Rawhide and backport patches selectively to stable versions on behalf of bug reports. But since stable versions indeed receive full kernel updates (not just backported patches), there is an understandable amount of frustration amongst users when the shiny new kernel that comes with e.g. F22 provides features userspace does not support. Especially since upstream iproute2 does not really have a concept of stable versions, I'm in a bit of a dilemma here: update to keep in sync with the kernel or not update to not unnecessarily destabilize the system? Any comments/advice are highly appreciated. Thanks, Phil

whatever happened to yum + btrfs snapshotting?
by Neal Becker 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

Some time back there was discussion of being able to rollback yum updates via btrfs snapshotting. As I recall, it turned out that the default btrfs install was not setup correctly to make this feasible (I had briefly tested it on my machine). I haven't heard anything since - this seems like a great idea. -- -- Those who don't understand recursion are doomed to repeat it

Firefox not working anymore over ssh?
by Juan Quintela 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

Hi since last Monday or so, I have been able to run firefox over ssh anymore. I thought it was my setup, but further investigation showed that it is something specific to firefox. My setup is a bit more convoluted than this, but I am able to do: $ ssh -X localhost gnome-terminal And it shows a terminal as expected $ ssh -X localhost firefox Without a firefox running will hang there forever, no output at all. I tried doing strace of it, and see that is waiting for futexes. But haven't been able to see what is happening. Until last Tuesday or so (I am on F23) firefox worked over ssh without any problems. I have been running it like that for something like a year. Anyone has any suggestion? I tried also $ ssh -Y localhost firefox And it didn't helped at all (not that I am sure of the difference either). Later, Juan. PD. Really, what I normally do is run ssh to a virtual manchine in the same host.
