Vim compile options in Fedora
by Timandahaf
Hello,
In the past few versions of Fedora, the Vim package (for instance,
vim-enhanced 2:7.1.291-1.fc9) is compiled with the "clientserver" option
turned off. So each time I upgrade, I'm forced to get the rpm source and
recompile vim with this option turned on.
I don't know the rationale for this, because this is a very useful
option, and turning it on doesn't really come at any cost as far as I
know. I suspect this option would be useful for a wider range of users
too.
(For more info, simply start up vim by typing "vim" and use the
":version" command. It lists the features vim was compiled with.)
My question is, how do I go about placing a request to have this feature
turned on?
(I apologize in advance if this is not the appropriate list to ask this
question.)
Thanks in advance!

patching datafile locations for upstream projects ?
by Jani Mikkonen
Hello.
Say, i have few packages - mostly games - that rely that same
datafiles that are found from cwd (or same path as executable as
binary) and im wondering what is the right way to patch these so i
could make functional packages out of them.
1) just force the pwd to the datadirectory in .desktop file and not
patch the code
2) hardcode the paths or atleast make them defineable at compiletime ?
3) something else ?

Packaging rubygem-passenger and "mod_rails"
by Jeroen van Meeuwen
Hi all,
I'm interested in some feedback and hints as to how to tackle this
problem I'm seeing:
rubygem-passenger upstream is a Ruby on Rails deployment utility that
practically makes installing a new version of a Ruby on Rails web
application a drag-and-drop action. Anyway;
One part of the upstream release is the Ruby Gem - which, when
installed, offers a command that says;
passenger-install-apache2-module
which is mod_rails/mod_rack, and can be loaded in httpd so that it's all
nice and integrated and nifty.
Problem is, "passenger-install-apache2-module" is building the .so and
now I'm seeing a chicken-or-egg problem;
I need the gem to be installed to be able to build the httpd module, and
the httpd module is built from the same source(s).
I would appreciate some advice as to if splitting the packages and
build-requiring the rubygem-passenger package for the mod_rails package
is the way to go, or whether there's another route.
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Jeroen van Meeuwen
