Well, if there was a clear understanding that Fedora, was meant to be a
clean break with what rhl was with no expectation for an upgrade path
from previous rhl releases to fedora core, then this sort of split in
legacy as well would be reasonable to assume. But if Fedora is meant to
be an evolutionary outgrowth of what RHL was and not a clean start, then
the legacy issues surrounding pre-fedora rhl releases, falls into the
same evolutionary framework i think to some extent.
And if that isn't enough of a reason to reconsider the timetable...think
of the rhl EOL coming up as an opportunity to work through some
community process issues before Fedora Core needs them. I think its hard
to get around the fact that the same people who will be interested in
making Fedora Legacy a workable solution for Fedora Core releases as
they expire, also want to see legacy support for rhl 7.3 and rhl 9, and
if they have to build up a completely separate process for the "legacy
hat" there will be far less interest in duplicating that community
building effort again from scratch under Fedora Legacy. Whatever gets
created for the upcoming December deadline, needs to be created with a
clear understanding that its part of of an evolutionary change, or its
created as part of a clean separation of church and state.

Right, out of the pan into the fire...
and if you just used a computer without trying to add functional
elements to it...your repeated user of mechanical transportation analogy
would be a much better fit. Do you drop in a v8 engine into your car,
when you need more power? Do you upgrade your brakes to abs when you
need better brakes? Do you drop in an 4 wheel drive when you need it?
Your analogies still stink. When someone finds that a certain car has a
"bug" do the car manufacturers expect users to install it...or do they
have a recall and have an expert fix the problem? Normal mundane car
users do not routinely try to add functionality or enhance functionality
to their cars by themselves. Cup holders, fuzzy dice and cowhide seat
covers...maybe...but those things are more akin to themes, desktop
wallpapers and skins in the computer world than real functional
elements. Hell most car users wouldn't even THINK about even installing
their own stereo system without some expert assistance. Adding something
like air conditioning is frankly well beyond a normal car user. But
mundane computer users try to add functional components all the time,
without a thought to how its suppose to work. That is what upgrading
software and hardware in a computer is really...upgrading major
functional elements of the tool. Normal users of cars and planes, do not
and should not attempt to add significant functional elements without
help or understanding...and using your analogy neither should computer
users. It comes down to what a "user" is suppose to be doing when the
"use" the software. Is downloading and adding new functionality really
"using" the computer? Or is it tweaking it?
Isn't my little store bought cable modem/router with a webinterface a
computer? I use it all the time without actually downloading and
installing any sort of software on it. I think your definition of "use"
and "user" is overly broad and is itself a sort of misplaced analogy.

If by that, you mean that the decision is to stick with 0.94 without much
discussion (that I've seen or heard) and despite it's obvious
shortcomings... that's a shame. Heading down this path will also lead to
lots of, IMO, uncessessary Epoch inflation. One example:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=105746
I'm sure if nothing is done, many more will follow.
I don't know about you Axel, but until I see a better alternative, I'll
personally be inflating Fedora X.Y to rh(X+10)Y in the release tag of
packages I maintain. The only other alternative is to simply increment
Epoch for everything, which is yucky, yucky.

In theory I would agree with you, but in reality we had no better
solution. We simply cannot have a situation with two binary packages
with the exact same filename but compiled for different distributions
(without resorting to epoch. =)
Even if an automated package tool is bound to a specific repository, it
would have no way of comparing EVR and doing an upgrade to the new
distribution's package.
We *need* a sane way of doing distrel tags within the package name, or
add another field to the RPM database... which would introduce even more
legacy problems.

Then you need to do a better job of picking the illustrative educational
tool for the audience at hand. Continuing to use analogy, when several
people are having trouble following you, just shows you aren't really
interested in communicating with the people responding to you..you're
just here to poke fun at those with diminished mental capacity. So far
it seems you have not done so well getting people on this list to
understand your abstract explanations...if agreement is the measure you
use for understanding. I think you should consider using interpretive
dance from now when trying to deal in the abstract on this list.
> Good point. The difference is, a car comes with everything you expect a

> A computer, on the other hand, never comes with everything you want,
Everything you WANT in a computer....and everything that is EXPECTED to
come with a computer are very different...and I'm amazed you mixed the
two concepts up. Are you honestly saying that cars and planes and boats
and trains and dump trucks and dragsters..and whatever other complex
transportation machine you want to try to draw an analogy with, come
with everything that everyone could possibly want in such a machine.
What is EXPECTED to come with a computer and what people WANT to come
with a computer are different concepts. If you are going to continue to
use the analogy of cars and trucks that people buy...then the analogy
leads to the idea that computers that people are buying should be coming
equipped with the things most people want, and not the conclusion you
are trying to beat us over the head with, that adding functionality to
computers after the initial purchase should be end-user easy. If
everyone who wanted cd players for their cars got them when they bought
their car..there would be no after market for cd players or other car
electronics. But yet there is, people buy these things for their cars
and want them installed, but few people actually install things like cd
players and electronic alarm systems themselves..and there is no real
expectation that installing car electronics is end-user easy. Where DID
the expectation that installing new software is an end-user easy task?
If the goal that you want is to have a computer be as easy to "use" as
it is to "use" a car..well thats quite easy to accomplish. It would be
quite easy to create a computer that just ran like a car...by building a
computer that was not easily upgradable with new software unless it was
brought in to be serviced by an expert. Installing software is not using
a computer. Installing a cd player in your car is not using your car.
But that's clearly not a solution to the problem you are prepared to
accept. Because really, you aren't interested in just something that is
easy to "use", you want something that is also easy to fix and to extend
with new functionality. Your basic analogy doesn't speak to the real
nature of the problem you want solved. So stop trying to be cute by
talking around the problem...talk about the problem instead.
-jef"describing a computer as a tool box..and new software as a new
wrench you just throw in...is insulting to the subtle complexity of the
awe inspiring effort it takes to get the intricate layers of software
that builds up a computer system to pretend to work together. A wrench,
even if poorly made doesn't stand a good chance of interfering with how
the other tools in the toolbox work...no matter how cute the toolbox
analogy seems"spaleta

Re: [Univ-linux] [Fwd: Re: Future unsupported Red Hat Linux systems]
by Jack Neely
Folks,
I hate cross posting but since all this discussion is on all the mailing
lists and I'm not...here I go :-)
I'm mainly interested in Fedora Legacy. I'd rather work here that beta
testing the latest and greatest from my friends across the street. I've
agreed to work with / maintain OpenAFS and LPRng and I'll probably pick
up others.
I'm the Linux guy at NC State University in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Red Hat is right across the street. I maintain a linux distribution
based off of what was RHL and we are quite dependant on it...which
should explain my interest in Legacy. Also, I really need at good 18
months of errata for each release I support.
Other resources: ftp.linux.ncsu.edu will no doubt mirror Fedora. I
mean, what else am I supposed to put there? :-) I am also working to
get another machine set up that can mirror other stuff and/or be a
public build server. All I need is a SCA -> 68 pin SCSI adaptor.

* Fri Oct 03 2003 Mike A. Harris <mharris(a)redhat.com> 4.3.0-36
- Added XFree86-4.3.0-ati-generic-shared-chip-data.patch to unify changes to
atichip.h into a single harmless patch to avoid patch overlap and merge
conflicts

remove changes to atichip.h as they're merged into the above patch instead
- Added XFree86-4.3.0-radeon-support-backport-from-CVS.patch backport of
support for newer Radeon 9600/9800/IGP/Mobility hardware from CVS head,
along with a few minor bug fixes for Mobility and IGP. Very low risk change
which is heavily audited, however currently configured to only build for
cambridge and psyche until runtime tested sufficiently
- Renamed XFree86-4.3.0-ati-radeon-dpms-on-dvi-v2.patch for consistency, to
XFree86-4.3.0-radeon-dpms-on-dvi-v2.patch

on will hold all xf86PciInfo updates. Moved all Radeon, savage, and S3
updates from other patches into this file.

OpenOffice.org 1.1
by Roozbeh Pournader
What are the plans for OOo 1.1 in Fedora Core? I'm specially interested
since OOo 1.1 has some nice BiDi (Hebrew, Arabic, ...) support, which
I'd love to impress my friends with ;-)

Suggestion for gnome-terminal
by Jaap A. Haitsma
After installation of Fedora gnome-terminal does not recognize aliases
like ll and also does not display the listings in color.
You can get this by going to Edit / Current Profile / Title and Command
and then selecting "Run command as a login shell"
I think it would be nice for users if this was enabled by default
