Re: Apt vs. Yum vs. up2date?
by Duncan Morison 15 Oct '03

15 Oct '03

2 definite reasons to use yum: i) it's available via up2date on install - up2date yum ii) it actually tells you what went wrong when it fails... unlike up2date ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

As a suggestion for list readability it would be nice, not to mention courteous, to turn off HTML formating for list submissions. TIA, dave

I would have thought that the base channel for rhn would have been installed by the time the iso's were available.

First Unofficial Fedora Bug Day: Tomorrow err I mean Today!!!!!!!!!
by Jef Spaleta 15 Oct '03

15 Oct '03

What: Fedora Bug Day!!!!! When: Oct 15 09:00 EDT about 21:00 EDT Where: #fedora-bugs on the freenode irc network Why: to clean up bugzilla bug reports that need more info Who: Anyone who wants to help make the fedora developers more efficient In an effort to get the ball rolling on a fedora community based bugzilla triage effort, I am hereby decreeing that tomorrow Wednesday October 15, 2003 the first unofficial Fedora Bug day, and every Weds there after to be Fedora Bug Days until the end of time, or someone more competent wants to be in charge and wants to change the date. In an effort to control the chaos, during tomorrow's first attempt at this..I want to try to focus effort on bugs that need more information to be useful. I'd like to also like to encourage anyone interested in translation work to possibly take this bug day opportunity to take a crack at going back and sweeping up outstanding translation bugtickets in bugzilla. The goal here isn't to create a whole new set of bugs, the goal is to get as many existing bugs as possible closed..or at the very least in shape to be closed by developers. "But Jef...what exactly is the point of a Bug Day?" Good question. The basic idea of a Fedora Bug Day, is a chance for us...the Fedora community to spend some quality time cleaning up Fedora bugzilla so the developers can spend less time sifting through lots of duplicate or incomplete bug reports and spend more time fixing bugs that can be fixed right away. The basic concept of bugzilla triage is that community members go through bugzilla fixing up bug reports that need information or confirmation so developers don't have to do this sort of routine day-to-day maintenance, and hopefully as a result developers spend more time fixing bugs than they do asking for clarifying information in bugreports. The Gnome bugsquad project is a good starting point in the process of building guidelines and policies for people interested in helping out in the fedora bugzilla triage effort: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/bugsquad And specifically for those people interested in participating in Fedora Bug Days, reading about how Gnome handles bug days would be quite useful: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/bugsquad/triage/faq.html#II Gnome's bugsquad project idea relies heavily on having trusted community members being able to modify existing bugreports. And eventually I hope to have a core group of fedora community members with the same sort of access to edit bugsreports (without stepping on the toes of the existing Red Hat QA team of course)...but in the beginning we can do a lot just by focusing on the bugs that need more information and working to fill those in, so the bugs can be closed by developers. So tomorrow...if you have some time, try to read over how Gnome handles triage, and then try to find open bugs in redhat's/fedora's bugzilla that are in need of more information (log files or certain command output for example). And please drop into the #fedora-bugs channel to ask questions about the triage efforts or to wax eloquent on how to make this community based triage idea more useful for everbody. -jef"www.homestarrunner.com is not a good reference for learning about bugzilla triage"spaleta

MD5sum errors in apt
by Thomas DuVally 14 Oct '03

14 Oct '03

Anyone else seeing these with apt-get? Failed to fetch http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/0.94/i386/base/release.os MD5Sum mismatch Taking a look at the release.os file it lists 0.95, not 0.94, which is what it should list, since it is in the path for the 0.94 Fedora release. This also happens for the update and stable trees. Hmmm... apt repository mistakes? -- TJ DuVally

by Terry Polzin 14 Oct '03

14 Oct '03

Updated severn-II to severn-III up2date register fails as 0.95 is not a valid OS level. So how to I get my machine to be associated to the rawhide channel as there doesn't appear to be a 0.95 Fedora channel.
