hdd installs from livecd patch - where?
by Jane Dogalt
I just noticed that fedora projects weekly says jasper provided a patch for the
hdd installs. Was this a typo? The link only points to a message about the
possibility of creating one, not an actual patch.

what we have done
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello there,
In the last two weeks, Jasper and I worked on various parts of
Kadischi (all our discussions were on IRC):
- we have a new kadischi.py which was committed to cvs last week
Due to the changes with respect to kadischi.py,
+ flc_log and run has been dropped from movefiles.py and lib/functions.py
+ path_exists and url_exists functions dropped from functions.py
- we also have a small GUI for kadischi which takes a repository and
the path and the filename of the iso and launch kadischi from a
terminal. This is a fairly new feature, but it needs to improved. On
Toshio's advice, we have used pam and consolehelper to launch kadischi
with root access from gnome/kde menus (kadischi.desktop).
- we have also a gui for userhome.sh. This script helps the root user
to mount a partition (from a usb or hdd) as /home.
- LiveCDs built (with Kadischi) ejects the cd properly on shutdown.
- We have a spec file for kadischi. We thought to push kadischi in
Fedora-extras-development only (not Fedora Extras).
why ?
+ because if approved, we can see whether kadischi builds on x86_64,
since there isn't syslinux on ppc, kadischi won't build on ppc. I'll
try to find time to use grub instead.
+ perhaps we could have more contributors and testers. Till now, only
Jasper and I are working on Kadischi.
+ this will make us work harder and know what is failing and on what to work on.
Do share with us your views about it.
But, yes there is a but, the GUI we have for kadischi in CVS isn't
ready at 100%. DamienDurand proposed to work a python glade version of
it.
Once ready, we may push kadischi to Fedora-extras-development.
Till now, Kadischi builds FC6 Livecds successfully if built on either
FC6 or FC5, but the livecd doesn't boot. But we are working on it.
As from today, ill be on vacation for one month. I'll try to find an
hour or two to work on kadischi. DamienDurand do send me your progress
on kadischi's GUI, though if it's now complete, we may work together
on it.
Jasper, can you take over kadischi's Fedora Weekly News for the next 4
mondays for me ?
Cheers,
Chitlesh Goorah

ld.so fc4 kernel 2.6.16-1.2111 behavior comments
by Skunk Worx
asking for my tech lead...
he claims the dynamic loading changed in fedora sometime in the last
several months.
we have an application set with the usual bin,lib,include directories,
and ld.so.conf entries to support the lib.
he did a toplevel 'make clean ; make' on our source tree, which wiped
out the existing so's from our lib on the hard drive and replaced them
with the latest.
then he started an app from our bin. he says the new symbols from the
latest .sos were not present in dlsym calls. the old .so was still
somehow being used.
according to him this is broken behavior...he says this should never
happen if the disk file changes, and he runs ldconfig (as he did),
whether an existing app still has chunks of the old .so mapped or not.
an init 6 cleared the problem (obviously)
just curious if anyone has comments ... or pointers to a commentary
about the behavior...i will relay them and post back as necessary.
thanks,
John

Call for Testing: Kadischi.py
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello there,
I have adopted Jeremy's style and rewrote the today's kadischi.py cvs version.
Before committing to cvs, I'm calling to test it for
* smp
* Xen
* kickstart file
* fc6t1
Things which have dropped
- /etc/kadischi/kadischi.conf
- /usr/local/share/kadischi/create-iso.sh
Things to Work on from now:
- better cleanup mechanism
- work on the files which depends on flc_log and run
- better mechanism for the buildstamp
- see Kadischi/Schedule
regards,
Chitlesh Goorah

Jeremy's code and my X crashes
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello,
I've never knew why X freezes everytime I execute Jeremy's code
related to anaconda.
Jeremy's code:
# now that we've got our dirs set up, let's run anaconda
args = [ "/usr/sbin/anaconda", "--rootpath=cd:%s/system" %(builddir,),
"--method=%s" %(method,)]
args.extend(anaconda_args)
env = {"ANACONDA_PRODUCTNAME": "%s Live CD Generator" %(product,),
"ANACONDA_PRODUCTVERSION": version,
"ANACONDA_PRODUCTPATH": product}
print args
rc = subprocess.call(args, env=env)
if rc:
print >> sys.stderr, "anaconda failed. Exiting"
return rc
The regular log file does not output something fruitful, but i think
It logs in a different file.
what could it be ?

Saving user data and configurations
by J. Hartline
Hi.
On the wiki under the Schedule it states to use Linux4All as a starting
point for saving user data and configurations.
I have went against this approach and have written a small script here
that uses dialog, and simply asks the (root) user
if they would like to mount a disk partition under /home, since a logout
and login of any standard user will use this directory.
It supports disks hd[a-d][1-4] and sd[a-d][1-4] likewise is currently
written to allow Ext2, Ext3 or Vfat partitions.
Once the options are chosen, disk, partition, and filesystem type, it is
mounted under /home for the user.
I have also written a userhome.desktop file to be placed in
/root/.config/autostart to launch the menu.
I'm curious if this is a better approach than Linux4All's
search-and-destroy method.
I think it is a good approach for a start to allow mounting something
under home, whether it be a HDD partition or a USB flash device.
Likewise it can be built upon.
Good idea or not?
Chitlesh, were you going to write a Zenity equivalent to 07accounts.sh?
