Bug Day 7: Nov 26,2003: -Imagine something clever relating Thanksgiving to bughunting here-
by Jef Spaleta
It's the day before Thanksgiving, what's a better way to work up an
appetite for 40 lbs worthy of deep fried turkey meat than with some
quality QA? Trick question...there is nothing better!
For lack of something original and because the need is still as great as
it was last time, I hereby deem today's bug day theme
to be Fedora.us QA.
Become involved in the fedora.us QA process and help QA packages that
are waiting to be published in the fedora.us addon repo:
http://www.fedora.us/QA.
There are 279 packages sitting waiting for QA. That's 279 packages
the Fedora community could be enjoying in the published fedora.us
repository trees, once they have made it through the community QA
process.
Remember, until the full merge is completed and Fedora Extras and
Alternatives is up and running...community packagers are being advised
to use fedora.us's process:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2003-November/msg00649.html
How do you become involved in the fedora.us QA process?
Easy, read: http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackageSubmissionQAPolicy
I think there are enough people in the freenode irc network's
#fedora-bugs channel who are already part of the fedora.us QA wagon
train to provide some guidance if you are new to the process (hint hint
hint, that means if you ARE part of the fedora.us QA process right now,
it might be in your best interests to sit in the channel and gingerly
help new people getting started in this process as part of the bug day
call to arms)

recompiling kernel
by Michal Zeravik
Hi to all,
I've tried to configure/install rivatv for my MSI GF4Ti VIVO to get
tv-capture working,
but got some errors about kernel config:
Checking for CONFIG_I2C... no
*** ERROR:
*** Your kernel is not correctly configured, please enable CONFIG_I2C
Checking for CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT... no
*** ERROR:
*** Your kernel is not correctly configured, please enable
CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT
I've tried to build own kernel in the past, but unsuccessfully. What is
the method:
1. install kernel-sources (fc1's 2.4.22.nptl) .. done
how can I make my config to use for compiling?
Are there some special CFLAGS for kernel compiling?
Or any other danger?
Thank you.

Fedora Core 1 Test Update: nss_ldap-207-6
by Nalin Dahyabhai
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2003-023
2003-11-25
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : nss_ldap
Version : 207
Release : 6
Summary : NSS library and PAM module for LDAP.
Description :
This package includes two LDAP access clients: nss_ldap and pam_ldap.
Nss_ldap is a set of C library extensions that allow X.500 and LDAP
directory servers to be used as a primary source of aliases, ethers,
groups, hosts, networks, protocol, users, RPCs, services, and shadow
passwords (instead of or in addition to using flat files or NIS).
Pam_ldap is a module for Linux-PAM that supports password changes, V2
clients, Netscape's SSL, ypldapd, Netscape Directory Server password
policies, access authorization, and crypted hashes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
The nss_ldap package included in Fedora Core 1 would fail to perform
schema mapping due to an incompatibility with newer versions of
Berkeley DB, such as the one with which it was built. This
incompatibility was fixed upstream in version 210, and is fixed in
this update.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
* Tue Nov 25 2003 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin(a)redhat.com> 207-6
- rebuild
* Thu Nov 20 2003 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin(a)redhat.com> 207-5
- fix objectclass and attribute mapping, which failed due to uninitialized
fields in mapping index structures, fixed upstream in 210 (#110547)
* Mon Nov 10 2003 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin(a)redhat.com> 207-4
- link with the proper libsasl (1 or 2) for the version of OpenLDAP we
are linking with (#106801)

Fedora Core 1 Test Update: postgresql-7.3.4-10
by David Jee
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2003-018
2003-11-20
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : postgresql
Version : 7.3.4
Release : 10
Summary : PostgreSQL client programs and libraries.
Description :
PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system
(DBMS) that supports almost all SQL constructs (including
transactions, subselects and user-defined types and functions). The
postgresql package includes the client programs and libraries that
you'll need to access a PostgreSQL DBMS server. These PostgreSQL
client programs are programs that directly manipulate the internal
structure of PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server. These client
programs can be located on the same machine with the PostgreSQL
server, or may be on a remote machine which accesses a PostgreSQL
server over a network connection. This package contains the docs
in HTML for the whole package, as well as command-line utilities for
managing PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server.
If you want to manipulate a PostgreSQL database on a remote PostgreSQL
server, you need this package. You also need to install this package
if you're installing the postgresql-server package.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This update replaces the current series of 'postgresql' packages in
Fedora with an improved set of packages that was formerly called
'rh-postgresql'. rh-postgresql was a part of RHDB, and it is now being
integrated into Fedora Core. rh-postgresql includes bug fixes and
performance enhancements which are backported from the upstream
development branch.
rh-postgresql also includes an improved version of PostgreSQL's JDBC
driver, with functional enhancements and bug fixes that increases its
level of compliancy to Sun's JDBC CTS test suite.
Note that no initdb will be necessary from previous PostgreSQL packages.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
* Wed Nov 19 2003 David Jee <djee(a)redhat.com> 7.3.4-RH-10
- rebuild for Fedora Core 1 (Note: This series of packages has
formerly been prefixed by 'rh-postgresql' and was a part of
RHDB. It will now replace the previous series of 'postgresql'
packages in Fedora.)
- add conditional checks for whether we're building for Fedora
- import new JDBC driver with functionality improvements and
bug fixes
- import new rh-pgsql.patch to reflect changes in JDBC driver
- fix rhdb.init to say "PostgreSQL - Red Hat Edition" upon
startup
- replace obsolete URL with http://sources.redhat.com/rhdb/

Open Carpet
by Noah Silva [Mailing list]
Hi all,
Looks like we can finally have the nice Red-Carpet system without having
to wait for Ximian to support a certain distro.
Open Carpet apparently allows any Apt source to be used with Red-carpet,
which is pretty neat imo.
Red Carpet has been my favorite tool since it came out, but also somewhat
useless to me when I wasn't running a supported distro.
Right now, the fedora project is available.
I will report back when I have actually tested this.
thanks,
noah silva
