2 yum problems
by Neal D. Becker
I encountered 2 problems with yum today:
1) Installing kernel-source-2.6 removed kernel-source-2.4, but I still need to
keep kernel-source-2.4 around.
2) I couldn't find any way to convince yum to reinstall kernel-source-2.4:
yum install kernel-source-2.4.22

Fedora Test Update Notification: Mozilla
by Christopher Blizzard
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2003-013
2003-11-14
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : mozilla
Version : 1.4.1
Release : 18
Summary : Web browser and mail reader
Description :
Mozilla is an open-source web browser, designed for standards
compliance, performance and portability.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This update fixes an issue where Mozilla will crash when visiting sites
that include Japanese text. In Fedora Core 1 when the ttfonts-ja package
is upgraded it leaves behind a font cache file that includes references
to fonts that don't exist. Mozilla would read this file and attempt to
open the font file. If the font file didn't exist or was unreadable,
Mozilla would crash.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
* Thu Nov 13 2003 Christopher Blizzard <blizzard(a)redhat.com> 37:1.4.1-18
- Include patch that fixes crashing problems with fonts that can't
be read

Most likely hard to pin down. My 3c905 (b or c) seems to work fine.

"If it's not in bugzilla, it doesn't exist." The point is those
workarounds and fixes should be going in bugzilla.

what is the appropriate list?
by Elton Woo
YES, I know I am cross-posting to the lists. But I can't seem to
find a clear answer on either one.
QUESTION: If there is an outstanding bug from Severn / Fedora Core
which is still in Fedora Core Release 1 (Yarrow), *which* is the list
where one may comment on such a bug?
NOTE: I am NOT referring to a "new" bug, but an unresloved one.
respectfully,
Elton Woo.

Rhythmbox with xine. I have seen this at rhythmbox's site but I could
never compile it right(mainly because I suck at compiling and never took
the time to get it right, and then discover dag's rpm :) ). But I was
wondering did you compile this just for yourself? Or is there a rpm? I
only know of dags and his uses gstreamer.

Unofficial FAQ
by Maxwell Kanat-Alexander
Just to let everybody on the list know, I've written an Unofficial FAQ
for Fedora, that answers questions that people have most commonly, and
solves various issues that they have.
It's at <http://fedora.artoo.net/faq/>
I wrote it because we were getting an incredible volume of questions on
#fedora during the first few days of the release, and a FAQ was the only
way to deal with it. It's been really helpful in the channel -- maybe it
will be helpful to the list, too.
If you have something that you think should be added, post the question
(preferably with a solution) on <http://fedora.artoo.net/forum/>
I hope this helps some people out.

(I've cross-posted to fedora-test-list just because so many questions
keep coming up over there.)

rhythmbox packages
by seth vidal
Hey,
I posted some rhythmbox 0.6.0 packages the other day to:
http://linux.duke.edu/~skvidal/RPMS/rhythmbox/
Would it be possible for those to be released as bug-fix errata for
0.5.4
I know it's not important but it does speed up rhythmbox tremendously.
I had to make almost no changes to the 0.5.4 spec file.
