New README file for cipe
by Jonathan Gardner
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
After spending a couple of hours trying to figure out cipe and how to use it
with Redhat, i think I have put together a fairly comprehensive README. I
intend this to be just a start, and I hope others who know more about cipe
than myself will add notes and correct it where it is wrong.
I personally don't know how to configure the redhat routes so that I can
direct traffic to networks through the newly configure cipe interface. I
wil figure that out pretty soon and I may add a note about it to the README
if people are interested.
There is also a patch for the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-cipcb
script attached. It addresses the attachment of "ifcfg-" to the CONFIG
variable to match the behavior of
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-cipcb.

Bootsplash Patch
by Jason Luka
I've built the bootsplash patch for 2.4.22, however it won't let me send
it through email because of a 40k limit on messages. Anybody know the
proper channels to send this through?

Hi !
Have someone developed a tool or have knowledge of some perl/python scripted stuff for
automated build of a src.rpm tree wich inteligently compute dependency and start compiling/installing
packages step by step in right order till whole tree is compiled and installed.
PS: dont need to knoledge even some bug hunting skill :)))
Thanks a lot,

alpha architecture
by Jim
I have the HP edition of RH7.2 installed on a 21164 533Mhz pc164lx. All
is well with the system and I have had no problems except that there are
no software updates/upgrades to the latest versions of applications I need
such as postgresql/php/apache/ssl etc. Then I ran across the Fedora
project and noticed that the latest alpha rpm's for these applications
were availible for download. The problem is that they don't work on the
7.2 release and rpm -Uvh for the packages I need give me countless failed
deps as I expected they would. Will there be an upcomming alpha iso
release for the latest redhat version? If not, I would like to port
an updated rh release for the alpha architecture. If any one is doing
this already or if anybody needs help doing this I'd be pleased to help
out. If someone is already doing this could you please point me in the
right direction?
Thanks,
Jimmy Green

Updated Packages:
* ORBit2-2.8.1-1
* Fri Oct 03 2003 Alexander Larsson <alexl(a)redhat.com> 2.8.1-1
- 2.8.1
- BuildRequire a newer gtk-doc
* XFree86-4.3.0-35
* Thu Oct 02 2003 Mike A. Harris <mharris(a)redhat.com> 4.3.0-35
- Updated to XFree86-4.3.0-xf-4_3-branch-2003-10-02.patch to pick up latest
fixes in the XFree86 4.3.x stable branch including:
- xdm build fixes from previous security update
- Use pam_strerror() to print an error message after pam_setcred() fails,
C style unification
- xdm portability fix
- Added XFree86-4.3.0-Xlib-XIM-bugfix-from-XFree86-bugzilla.patch to fix
an XIM bug introduced into XFree86 CVS in late August, reported in XFree86
bugzilla, fixed in the trunk but not the 4.3 branch yet. (#106058)
- The XIM bug above was introduced in XFree86-4.3.0-xf-4_3-branch-2003-09-11.patch
which the spec file claims I added Sat Sep 6, 2003 in version 4.3.0-30, which
would mean that release was affected also, however this isn't the case. A
deeper investigation shows that the changelog got the patch added, but the
actual patch got misplaced somehow, so didn't get applied until 4.3.0-32. As
such, I'm adding an updated comment to the 4.3.0-32 changelog entry to
reflect this goofup.

Fedora Bugzilla Triage-Overview
by Jef Spaleta
Well someone called my bluff and dared me to write a useful post to a
fedora mailinglist. I'd like to start a discussion on implementing a
community based bugzilla triage team for the Fedora bugzilla. Okay well
actually I'd be interested in a broader discussion of establishing a
full guide for beta testers/bug hunters for the fedora.redhat.com..but
I'd like to focus on triage first, since bugzilla triage has the
potential to greatly improve the productivity of package
maintainers/developers and its something interested community members
with little coding skill can spend a few minutes here and there during
the day making a useful contribution if there is a good set of
guidelines and some mentoring.
So in preparation for this little essay. I've read over the Gnome
Bugsquad's project's detailed outline of how to do useful gnome bugzilla
triage.
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/bugsquad/
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/bugsquad/triage/
I don't want to rehash the full documentation Gnome has done, but I
would like to hi-lite some of the things Gnome's Bugsquad webpages that
would probably be useful for a Fedora triage team. Okay well actually
taking pretty much the entire process Gnome has developed sort of makes
sense to me. The only issue i see that Fedora will have to deal with is
how to escalate a bug ticket for a package to an upstream project
maintenance system, But here are some specific things I like about
gnomes bugsquad:
*) Strong documentation on the website on the steps to triage bugs.
Clear example cases,
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/bugsquad/triage/examples.html
and even more importantly examples on how to form bugzilla queries that
make sense when trying to pick bugs to triage.
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/bugsquad/triage/finding-bugs.html
*)A focus on having people learn from established bugsquad members. New
contributors to the triage effort are encouraged to suggest how
bugreports should be changed to active bugsquad members either through
irc or in a mailinglist...and over time they earn more access to make
bugzilla bugreport changes themselves..once they've shown they've got
the hang of how to triage. It's a mentor approach to get around
bugzilla's inherent steep learning curve for the average new bug
reporter.
*) examples of polite stock responses when bugs need more information to
be useful for the developer to understand the technical specifics of
what is going wrong. The 'get to the point' culture of how development
is done can be a culture shock to people who are new to this sort of
environment. The current Fedora test release seems to be appealing to
many non-techinically savvy users...people who are excited by the
project, and want to make a best effort at contributing via
bugreporting...some of these people are stumbling over how bugzilla
interacts with them. Not in a technical sense...but strictly on
perception oh how valuable their contribution. A triage team can be used
to grease the wheels a little. The polite stock responses gnome has
could go a long way to overcome the perception issues bugzilla's rather
terse responses are causing.
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/bugsquad/triage/stock-responses.html
*) Last but not least....organized Bug Day efforts...to clean the cruft
out of Fedora.
If a triage team is of significant interest as a tool to increase the
productivity of the fedora developers...i think the first step is laying
down some useful guidelines and a 12 easy steps outline of what triage
in fedora involves so it can be documented on the website. I can't
imagine its going to look horribly different than how gnome handles this
issue. The other think i really think is different is how to handle
bugs that should also be reported to an upstream project maintainer.
I welcome further discussion on this issue. Other contrasting models of
how this sort of bug triage is done by other projects than Gnome would
be useful too. I firmly believe that the pacing item in development
processes will continue to be the number of hours in a day a developer
has. I'm not going to pretend that everybody in this community has the
ability to contribute technical skill on the level needed to actually
constructively work on major portions of he Fedora codebase. But i think
there are a significant number of technically proficient people who can
help the experts keep their todo lists organized...and act as an
interface between end-user and developer, saving valuable developer time
for code writing, instead of "please add more info" message writing in
bugzilla.
