https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=514046
Summary: Oracle-xe page for Spacewalk doesn't work
Product: Fedora Hosted Projects
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: medium
Priority: low
Component: Deployment_Guide
AssignedTo: mhideo(a)redhat.com
ReportedBy: mschwage(a)gmail.com
QAContact: rlerch(a)redhat.com
CC: fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com
Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
Sorry about the classification of this. I didn't see Spacewalk anywhere in
Bugzilla! Anyway, on the webpage
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/OracleXeSetup#Install, the install
instructions don't work as advertised. There, it says
"Configure the Oracle XE database by running
# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure"
This did not set the system/sys name correctly. Yes, I know, the oracle-xe
command comes from Oracle themselves, but on my RHEL53 machine it just refused
to set the password correctly. Did I try to do it 10 times or more? Yes I
did, and it did not work at all. Did I fat finger my password every single
lousy time I tried it? No I did not, for I was able to create my password as
easy as you please using my workaround below.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0
oracle-instantclient-basic-10.2.0.4-1
oracle-instantclient-sqlplus-10.2.0.4-1
How reproducible:
Every time.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do this on RHEL53 x86_64. Install the Oracle-XE software as listed.
2. Follow the instructions on
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/OracleXeSetup#Install, up to and
including the "Test Your Connection with SQLPlus" part.
3. You fail to login.
Actual results:
Fail to login.
Expected results:
Successful login.
Additional info:
The workaround is to perform the following after running /etc/init.d/oracle-xe
configure :
su - oracle
. /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/oracle_env.sh
/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.4/client64/bin/sqlplus /NOLOG
CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
alter user sys identified by password;
alter user system identified by password;
sqlplus64 'sys@xe as sysdba'

RPM Guide and RPM Max
by John J. McDonough
At FUDcon, Florian Festi approached me about Docs updating the RPM Guide and
the book, Maximum RPM, both of which have gotten a little stale. The RPM
Guide was already on our radar, and Ben Cotton has taken point on getting
that ready to be worked on.
Maximum RPM is currently hosted at rpm.org, and does not appear to have been
built with the old doc tools. There seem to be some specific dependencies
on Fedora 8, so there will be a little work converting it to something more
up to date.
The other issue, though, is licensing. This probably won't be difficult to
deal with but it is something that needs to be addressed. The current
copyright holder is Red Hat.
We will probably discuss this at an upcoming Docs Team meeting, but I did
want to give everyone a heads-up that this is going on. We may also want to
carry on some discussion on an rpm.org mailing list so that community is
also aware of the effort.
At this point not much has actually happened. Ben has moved the RPM Guide
to git, but I don't think anything else has happened there, I have looked at
the Maximum RPM sources and verified Florian's assessment that this isn't a
straightforward build, and quaid is aware of the licensing issues.
The RPM Guide is at:
git.fedoraproject.org/rpmguide.git
Maximum RPM is at
rpm.org/git/max-rpm.git

Publican SRPMs in Fedora
by Eric Christensen
Just wanted to point out that the current Publican build, 1.x, is creating
SRPMs and spec files that are inline with the Fedora's packaging policy
(using the --short_sighted mode). I submitted[1] a package for the Fedora
Accessibility Guide for review and it passed without batting an eye. This
should be helpful for other guides as well.
I'm still pondering the best way to handle the different languages, though.

> Our future rollout of Zikula should remedy this, I hope. There were more
problems with the previous version of docs.fp.o, though, that had to be
fixed. With so many languages available for some guides it was almost
impossible to list everything appropriately. The link you provided doesn't
take into consideration what language the person would like to read the
guide in. We have eighty-nine possible language translations which would
quickly make a page very crazy to load on a high-latency network connection.
What would you expect to find in a tar file? A PDF? HTML? Raw XML?
Everything?
If you are after the html-single, yes you have to wait for it to load before
saving but it doesn't take any more time than just downloading it in the
first place. PDFs should download when you click them.

I agree with Brian, a simple list like what was available in the past as an option would be helpful. It seems that some older lesser maintained docs that were useful are now missing from the listings also. http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/en/ is an example.
